Friends, the weather has absolutely turned, and that means so too must your wardrobe. Goodbye, cute summer dresses. Hello, winter boots.
I’m not one of those people who makes liking winter their entire personality (gimme daylight savings and a non-freezing house, thanks), but I will say that cold weather dressing is the one perk of lower temperatures. Wearing cute tops without stressing about sweat patches? Never being concerned if it’s ~too muggy~ for jeans? Heaven.
The other night I began lusting over all the new boots coming out right now, and I thought, I should share my finds with you, our lovely but anonymous reader, so that you, too, can find some lush new winter boots.
Boot scoot on, my friends.
The Best Western/Cowboy Boots
You could say that Daisy Jones & The Six still has a choke-hold on me, my whole winter wardrobe is going to be ’70s style flares, furry coats and cowboy boots.
The Best Doc Martins
If you’re going to buy a lace-up pair of combat-style boots, you can’t really go past a pair of Docs. While they might take a hot minute to break ’em in, they honestly last for years!
The Best Chelsea Boots
At the top of my winter wish list is a pair of Blundstones, mainly because my friend Josie never shuts up about how amazing they are. They’re giving Yellowstone vibes, and I’m down for that era. I sent her this yarn and she screeched, “I wear mine every fkn day!!! Hands down the greatest shoes I’ve ever owned.” There ya have it, folks.
The Best Thigh High Boots
Everything about these — from the block heel to the rounded pointy toe to the little flared back detailing – screams instant style cred. These are the boots you pair with sheer stockings, a mini skirt and a trench for a bevvie on a chilly Friday afternoon because obviously, you’re going straight out afterwards. Or, on those unseasonably warm days we always get in Australia, with a dress, just to make it a little edgier.
The Best Knee High Boots
Ooft, how sexy are these knee-high boots from AERE? They’re giving Pinterest girlie who has some seriously good style. I also love the wider calf.
The Best Lace Up Boots
A few years ago I bought a pair of cowboy boots from Aussie cult brand Spell, and I’ve never regretted it for one second. These tan, lace-up, knee-high boots give me the same vibe. You won’t wear them every day, but when you do, it’ll change your life (and elevate your outfit to an 11/10).
The Best Biker Boots
These are the boots I’ve been eyeing off this season. They’re simple, edgy and look like they’d be a damn comfortable ride. Plus, they’re on sale, so that’s nice!
The Best Gumboots
Talk about stomping – these Merry People Tully Boots are like the adult version of your favourite pair of childhood gumboots.
The Best Ugg Boots
I LOVE this fresh take on Uggs, so much so that I bought myself a pair and they’ve hardly left my hoofs. I’m pretty partial to wearing them in public too — especially to Pilates.
The Best Combat Boots
These boots are for anyone whose entire wardrobe is based around a pair of white sneakers. As a white sneaker enthusiast myself, I get it! They elevate an outfit! But sometimes you need to branch out of your sneaker cave and into something a little more sturdy (plus a little more edge).
The Best Designer Boots
I’ve already imagined wearing these boots with about 10 different outfits, so watch me hit ‘add to bag’ and kiss goodbye to my savings in 3, 2, 1….
The Best Cheap Winter Boots
Therapy shoes are one of the best options out there for on-trend, affordable as-hell shoes, so if you’re on a budget for winter boots – get over here, bb. There are heaps of options, but I’m very partial to these Chelsea boots, which are a vibe and a half.
Need a good jacket to go with your hot new boots? We’ve got you covered over here.
