    Remy Chelsea Boot


    Raquel Alysia

    This is a true classic boot. Not only is this a winter staple but it's great for every season! They are super comfortable, lightweight, and easy to put on and off. This Chelsea boot has a chunky sole (which is always on trend) and a sleek faux leather look. 

    My favorite way to wear these is with a pair of jeans, an oversized sweater, and a baseball cap. Another great way to wear these boots is with an oversized sweater and a cute mini or midi skirt. If it's colder where you live, throw on your favorite pair of jeans or leggings!
  • Dr. Martens
    Jadon Smooth Leather Platform Boots

    Combat boots are a winter staple. This boot has the classic chunky sole with a smooth finish, which makes wiping away dirt easy! Dr. Marten's know what they are doing when it comes to making a great pair of boots - and they've been around since 1901, so you know they're great quality. 

    Made with comfort and sturdiness in mind, these are also great for all seasons. You can dress them up or down. Pair them with a midi dress or your favorite pair of jeans and blouse. I personally like to style these boots with a pair of sweats, an oversized graphic tee, and a leather jacket.

    Cai Double Gore Boots

    There is no such thing as having too many different styles of Chelsea and combat boots. These babies are super affordable and so chic! They have a classic look with a rounded toe and are made with a block heel, which makes these boots super comfortable for all-day, everyday wear.

    They're perfect for running everyday errands, or you can put them on for date night. Style these cuties with a pair of jeans, a white oversized button-up, a leather jacket, and a wide-brim hat. For a more comfortable and laid back style, jeans and a teddy style, sherpa sweater are perfect!

    These ankle rain booties are super adorable. I love how small they are; plus, the design of them is perfection. You can't go wrong with either black or silver. Pair them with leggings, a turtleneck, and a trench coat. Make sure to also throw on a cute beanie or baseball cap to complete the full look! 

    When shopping for boots or anything in general, the number one major thing to ask yourself is, "How often can I use this?" For these boots, it's all the time! In the rain, sun, or snow, these ankle huggers will be your best friend.

    Low Heel Rubberized Boots


    Raquel Alysia

    Everyone should own at least one pair of rain boots, and this is a great tall rain boot. These are trendy but also practical. They come right below the knee and are made with a latex foam sole. Zara's rubberized boots are flexible and breathable, which makes walking comfortable!

    Water wicks right off of these, and you won't ruin them in the snow. Because of the finish of the boot, they're also easy to clean if you get them dirty! I would wear these with biker shorts and an oversized sweater. For a more casual or dressy look, you can also try them with a tight little black dress and a long peacoat.
  • The North Face
    ThermoBall Lace-Up Boot


    Raquel Alysia

    The Snow Boot. If you live somewhere that gets a lot of snow, then these are perfect! I am originally from New York, and when you live up North, having a snow boot is a must. These North Face lace-ups are water-resistant and insulated, so your feet stay warm and cozy. 

    They're made with a rubber sole, which is great for comfort. Despite being very stylish, these are perfect for hiking or going out in nature. They'd also be great for running errands during snowy days.
  • UGG
    Classic Short II Boot


    Raquel Alysia

    Back when I was in middle school, these classic UGG boots were my BFFs. I wore them 24/7. They were my trusted pair of boots since they were warm, cozy, and cute. And they're still in style!

    The bulkiness of this boot is great, and newer versions of it are now nice and soft on the inside. They come in a ton of colors, though Chestnut is the classic choice. My go-to outfit with these classic UGGs are leggings, a thermal top, a puffer jacket, and a beanie with the puff on top!
  • Koolaburra by UGG
    Mini Bootie


    Raquel Alysia

    The Koola minis are another great classic. Koolaburra is actually made by UGG, but they sell their boots and slippers at a more affordable price, but still with great quality. I truly adore these boots because they can double as an indoor house shoe. 

    These are great more for an indoor slipper because they make a unique statement in the house. The faux fur lining is so warm and cozy! Picture this - Christmas PJs, hot cocoa, sugar cookies, and Koola mini boots while snuggling up near a fire - doesn't that sound like the most perfect evening?

    Lynn Cowboy Boot


    Raquel Alysia

    I moved to Texas back in 2013 and promised myself that there was no way I would ever purchase a pair of cowboy boots. This New York City girl was not into country boots, but things have definitely changed - though it did take 7 years for me to consider buying a pair!

    These boots are so trendy and so different from any other boot out there. They're short-style country boots that come in a beautiful white color. They have such a fun design but are also deceptively simple. These boots make a great winter boot for Southerners but are also a staple for year-round!
  • Lulus
    So Much Yes Light Nude Suede Over the Knee Boots


    Raquel Alysia

    Suede boots are really wonderful. You just put them on, and they instantly level up your look. These ones, in particular, are great because of the beige tones and how they hit above the knee and hug your legs. I am short - 5 feet tall, to be exact - and these make my legs look so long! 

    The color of these Nude suede OTK boots from Lulus is so beautiful, and they give your overall outfit an expensive look. The best part is that they are totally affordable at under $60! This boot will never go out of style and will be a winter staple for years to come.
