Winter is coming… and we’ve forgotten how to wear shoes that aren’t sandals. But good news collegiettes: it’s boot season. Here are 4 pairs for every occasion this fall and winter!
Â
1. The Equestrian Boot
Â
Riding boots add an instant prep factor to your outfit, and will make you look more refined yet still casual. Added bonus: they slim and lengthen your leg! Get a pair that can handle tough weather and you’ll have a chic alternative to rainboots.
2. Short Boots
Short boots are the Jack-of-all-trades of the shoe world. Â Everything from lace up to motorcycle to combat boots fall under the category of “short boots”, so you can choose whatever best suits your style. A little edgier and definitely more versatile than riding boots, you can wear short boots with skinnies, skirts, or dresses, from class to parties.Â
3. Snow Boots
When campus ices over and the snow piles up, those Uggs aren’t going to cut it. Instead, invest in a pair of snow boots like these L.L. Bean shearling lined Bean Boots. Pair with leggings and scrunched socks to keep your toes toasty and dry and your style on point.
4. Heeled Booties
Heeled booties are perfect for more formal occasions, or when you want to upgrade a casual outfit. Â This pair by Michael Kors comes in black or brown, and either color can be worn day or night.
