As style people (hey there), we’ve experimented with a slew of winter shoe trends over the years to find those ideal silhouettes that are equal parts fashion and function. Sure, we have many of these perfectly acceptable styles at the ready in our closets, but the change in seasons comes hand in hand with our desire for a wardrobe refresh—starting with a winter-boot upgrade.
So with that in mind, we thought we’d share the winter boot trends we’re considering storing away due to their somewhat outdated nature. Alternatively, we’re also sharing the styles we’re excited to test out this season instead. From gorgeous knee-highs to lace-up stompers, keep scrolling to uncover the boots we’re considering in and out to inspire your next winter shopping haul.
Ditching: Duck bootsBuying: Thick-sole styles. “A few years back, I was into the idea of super-clunky, rubber-all-over, lace-up duck boots for winter. Now those feel like too much for me, and instead, I have my eyes on more streamlined pairs with thick rubber soles but sleek uppers.”Ditching: Hiking bootsBuying: Combat boots. “Hiking boots had a moment there last winter, and while I can’t deny how practical they are, I can’t say I’ll be lacing up my own pair with a fashiony outfit anytime soon (wearing them for actual outdoor adventures is a different story, though). Instead, I’m fixated on combat boots and plan to wear my Dr. Martens a ton in the coming months. They’re chic and equally as practical—what’s not to love?”Ditching: Stiletto bootiesBuying: Slouchy knee-highs. “Right now, I’m abandoning boots with super-high stilettos. Instead, I’m wearing styles with lower heels like this slouchy knee-high version.”Ditching: Basic lace-upsBuying: Statement lug-soles. “While I’m all for basic black ankle boots, I’m considering storing the somewhat boring smooth lace-up boots I’ve worn the last few winters. It’s all about eye-catching, lug-sole boots in unexpected colors with unique details like shearling to make a practical statement this season.”Ditching: Sock bootsBuying: Structured knee-highs. “I got some good wear out of my skintight sock boots last year, but I’ll be putting them aside this winter in favor of more structured leather knee-high boots to wear with my midi skirts, skinny jeans, and long shorts this winter.”Ditching: Rounded-toe ankle bootsBuying: Square-toe boots. “Simple block-heel ankle boots with a rounded toe are certainly versatile, but this winter I’m shopping for boots with interesting details like square toes, sculptural heels, or interesting textures (e.g., snakeskin and croc embossing).”Ditching: Chelsea bootsBuying: Platform boots. “This season, I’m ditching classic chelsea boots for something a bit more daring—platforms. I’m planning on wearing them with everything from dresses to tailored trousers.”Ditching: Sock bootsBuying: Kitten-heel boots. “Sock boots had their moment in the sun, but I agree with Judith that their time is over. Right now, I'm into kitten-heel boots, and the J.Crew versions below surprised me in the best way.”
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
