The frigid weather seems to be here to stay… at least for now, and although it’s terribly cold outside your fashion choices don’t need to suffer. I know it’s hard to even want to leave your house or bed for that matter with temperatures in the 30s, but when you do 1. bundle up and 2. make sure your packing on fashionable layers. Whether you prefer flat boots with a tough edge or heeled booties that can go from day to night, look no further.
I myself am a firm believer that the best winter wardrobe consists of lots of layers, chunky sweaters, blanket scarves, cold weather accessories, and of course a few amazing pairs of boots. Not only are the 10 boots below ever so stylish, but they are all under $76. At prices as low as $25, why not add a few pairs to your wardrobe? As enthusiastic as I am about shopping, I’m equally enthused about getting the best deals and bargains. In my opinion, it definitely pays to shop around for various deals and check out upcoming store promotions or site sales and promo codes. Also, for all the students out there a ton of stores do discounts when you show your student id so don’t forget to ask. Happy shopping fashionistas!
1. Combat Boots
This style of boot keeps coming back season after season and it proves to be as comfortable as it is chic. A couple of months ago I purchased my first pair of black combat boots similar to the ones above and I’ve been constantly wearing them ever since. They go with almost anything and they’re comfy and easy to throw on. My pair of Rampage boots zip on the side so I don’t have to tie them up every time I wear them which is very convenient. Keep your weekend wear stylish by pairing these combat boots with a pair of distressed jeans and a chunky sweater.

These neutral toned boots will keep you warm for the cold winter weather, but the strap details and mid-calf boot height will make sure you stay fashionable as well.

8. Riding Boots
In my opinion riding boots are a staple that should be in everyone’s closet and shoe collection. No matter the color of the boots you choose, the structure and style of the boot is effortlessly chic. Pair your riding boots with leggings or tuck your favorite pair of skinny jeans into them for an easy and casual look. I also love pairing a stylish structured pair of boots with a cute dress.

Want a break from neutral colors like black, brown, and tan when it comes to your boot game? I think this burgundy color is absolutely perfect.

10. Over the Knee Boots
One of my favorite winter shoe trends is the over the knee boot. Depending on how you style it and the pair you choose you can add a hint of sexiness to your look. Pair the boots with thigh high socks, a flowy skirt, and chunky sweater for a look that can go from day to night depending on your plans. For an extra chic look pair the boots with your favorite pair of dark skinnies.
