10 pairs of boots you can't live without this winter

Along with the seasonal switch from iced coffees to hot toddies, flip-flops to fluffy socks, the advent of wintery weather affords us the opportunity to dust off the heavy-duty coats, cosy jumpers and, most excitingly, invest in a great pair of boots. So which have made their way onto our wish lists this season? Expect snakeskin effect, knee-high styles and chunky silhouettes to find their way into your shopping baskets for 2019.

Shop Boots

1. Chelsea

Here's a less fussy option for those who would prefer to steer clear of 'trends'. Flat Chelsea boots with a simple, fuss-free finish will go with practically everything in your wardrobe.

Dune London, Quark 2 Boots, £58.00

2. Combat

Suitable for everything from city dwelling to rocky-terrain-walking (read: brunching and shopping), this season’s elevated combat boots are proof that function over form is the next big thing. Wear with autumn/winter's moody florals in the city, and baggy boyfriend jeans and oversized jumpers along the country lanes.

Dune, Pompom Pearl Detail Hiker Boots, £111.00

3. Suede

While the soft tactility of suede never fails to make us swoon, we’ll admit that it’s not the hardiest. But as long as you don’t plan on trudging through muddy waterlogged fields, there’s no reason why a pair of trusty suede boots shouldn’t play a starring role in your winter shoe rack.

4. Western

We have excellent news for fans of the Western trend - cowboy boots are still appearing on catwalks everywhere for the current season. A simple black pair is an easy way to give your much-loved cosy looks a lease of life – weather it be double denim or a flowy midi dress.

5. Knee high

Feel the need for a change from the slew of ankle boots of seasons past? It could be high time to embrace knee-high boots. Not only will they keep your pins free of frost when you want to wear your choice skirts and dresses, they’ll add some interest to your outfit rotations.

7. Mock croc

A simple way to elevate any outfit and look more expensive is with sleek, glossy mock-croc footwear. Look to this pair in an earthy, wine-stained hue to elevate your everyday ensembles. They’ll add much-needed texture to a classic jean and jumper combination.
