3 Ways New Yorkers Are Styling Neutral Boots Right Now

We get it: It’s cold outside. So cold, in fact, that you’d probably like to curl up and hibernate, but alas, the workweek trudges on. In other words, if you haven’t yet prepped your wardrobe with cozy footwear that’s comfortable enough for your on-the-go lifestyle but also stylish enough to meet your exacting standards, you’re going to want to get on that ASAP.

Enter: SOREL’s newest take on their classic style, the Joan NEXT. We recently spotted the on-trend shoe on city dweller Dana Mannarino, a Free People merchandiser who tells us her fashion preferences have been shaped by the city she calls home. “I’ve always worn what I want, and I definitely attribute this to being born and raised in New York,” she shares. “I love that I can wake up every day and be a different person if I want to.”

Given her knack for creating covetable looks that work from day to night, we trust Mannarino when she tells us this boot is a must-have.

A neutral rugged-sole boot is an essential for Mannarino. “When I say I’m ALWAYS on the go, I mean it,” she tells me. “Having reliable footwear is critical. Whether I’m commuting to work or meeting my photographer for a shoot, I want to make sure I can get from place to place in style without sacrificing comfort. These SOREL boots are wonderful: They’re always going to be stylish and reliable.” Here’s how she styled them in three different ways…
“I’m very into sweaters and skirts, and I’d wear this look to the office when I want to be comfortable yet put together,” Mannarino notes. “I work in a super-fast-paced environment that I really enjoy being part of, and these SOREL boots help me get through the day in style.”
A chunky lug sole (that’s fashion girl-speak for footwear with really exaggerated tread) is a major style to invest in right now⁠—Mannarino is all about juxtaposing the trend with a polished, structured handbag for an ultra-modern look.
An all-black outfit is still the NYC uniform, especially when an oversize blazer is involved. Mannarino took a very 2019 approach to her all-black look by adding her animal-print bag (slung effortlessly over her shoulder) and tucking skinny jeans into her statement SOREL boots.
“When I’m feeling edgy or want that classic New York City style to come through, boots and an all-black look does the trick,” says Mannarino. “It makes you feel polished, professional, and ready to tackle anything, taking you from desk to drinks in an instant.”
“I thrive during the cooler months, so my go-to weekend look is jeans, a T-shirt, a statement coat, and a good pair of boots to take me places—like brunch, because that’s always a good idea,” Mannarino notes. (Obviously we agree.)
These boots lend themselves particularly well to skinny jeans and long plaid coats, which is basically all we want to live in on the weekends. Mannarino also loves a subtle pop of color, from these burnt-orange tones to the “license plate” heel detail of her boots.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
