A list of the best winter boots can mean many things to you: fun snow trips with friends, comfy leather boots to dress up a simple outfit, or stepping out like Taylor Swift and her besties. (You know what photo I’m referring to.) The winter season can be different for all of us, but there’s always a boot that’s perfect for both your fashion taste and lifestyle, from ankle or calf-length boots to extra warm snow boots for the chilliest time of the year.

Personally, I’m still a fan of chunky black leather boots–I feel I can’t get enough of them. Whatever your style or purpose for a pair of winter boots, we’ve got you covered.

Cowboy boots have become the trendiest boots of the year. (Trust me, they aren’t going anywhere in the new year, either.) The detailed, stitched designs, the boot’s height, and the extra pointed toe can make an outfit surprisingly more chic. Wear cowboy boots with your favorite wool coat, scarf, and your warmest socks for a stylish winter outfit when stepping out for a fun evening with your girls!

“Long” Boots

Long boots–aka tall boots–include calf-length and knee-high boots, over-the-knee styles, and even thigh-high boots. While these may be boots you reserve for a special evening out, they’re also ideal for dressed-up winter looks. Depending on your height (and maybe your calf size), finding one that is comfortable for you might be a challenge, but we got you covered. We love “long” boots since they’re super fashionable and add some sexiness effortlessly!

Chelsea Boots & Combat Boots

Chelsea boots might be my favorite boots...ever. The shape and design are neutral, and I believe everyone looks good in them. They aren’t only comfortable but, just like combat boots, they add more edge to any outfit and anyone’s style. For a change-up from your go-to pointed-toe ankle boots, opt for Chelsea boots this season for new everyday winter outfits.
