As
winter rolls around, some people lament the coming of snow, ice, and
temperatures below freezing. Some people choose to look on the bright side of
the season and look forward to scarves, cute hats, and of course, winter boots.
You
could stock a whole closet full of great winter boots, but we'd argue that you
really only need a few pairs to get you through the winter in chic, comfortable
style. Read on to find out what kinds of boots you need for winter.
Short Heeled Boots
Boots
that come up just past your ankle are incredibly fashionable. Not to mention,
they make your legs look long and thin at the same time! However, these boots
need to have heels to really make an impact. If you have difficulty walking in
heels, consider getting thick-heeled boots or wedged boots, rather than
stiletto-heeled boots.
Some
women choose short, heeled boots that stay tight to ankle to maintain a sleek
look . Other women prefer boots with a little bit of flair. You can get boots
lined with fur, sequins, or other decorations. When wearing boots with extra
pizzazz, be sure the rest of your outfit is toned down a bit. Plain skinny
jeans work very well for this look.
Ugg
Boots
Ugg
boots have a huge following, and it's no surprise why! They are comfortable and
incredibly warm. They are most popular in places with harsh winters, like the
northeast and the northern Midwest. Ugg boots are made from sheepskin and they
are lined with fleece on the interior. These are great winter boots for women
that don't like heels or want to pair comfort with style.
When
buying Ugg boots, it's important to realize that there are only a few colors to
choose from. They don't come in bright colors, but rather variations of beige
and white. If you have skinny jeans that you don't want to get wet in the snow,
Ugg boots are perfect. They are just wide enough around the opening to allow
you to tuck in your pants.
Knee High Boots
outfits
in mind for them. This will help you choose which color you want. If you wear
lots of black or brown, a bright pair of knee high boots can be the centerpiece
of your look. If you wear bright colors already, consider a pair of boots in a
muted color to keep the focus on your clothes.
Rain Boots
While
these aren't usually the most fashionable boots of the bunch, they can save
your feet from lots of cold and discomfort. Rain boots are no longer limited to
the large, bulky black galoshes everyone used to wear. Rain boots for women
come in sleek, shiny colors that make them stylish and functional. Break these
shoes out when you're walking through a foot of snow to save your feet.
