5 Boot Trends for Winter 2019

Boots can be an easy way to elevate your look, add detail and be on trend! Here are the 5 most current boot trending styles. Do you have any of these in your closet already?

1.Combat Boots

As spotted on the Fall 2019 runways and street style scene, combat boots are trending in a big way. From knee-high lace-up designer combats to classic Doc Martens, the ’90s-inspired (were the 90’s really that long ago…LOL) boots come in all shapes and styles this season. Whether worn with a contrasting feminine dress or blue jeans, the boot looks effortlessly cool and is sturdy enough to withstand wet or sloshy winter weather.

The closest I come to owning and wearing combat boots (these actually might be considered more of a motorcycle boot) are these pearl, stud and buckle embellished pair! They were purchased last year but I’m still wearing them this year. This trend is slightly out of my comfort zone as I generally prefer wearing heels. Here’s how I’ve styled them several ways over the past year. They’re easily styled with faux leather leggings, jeans and dress pants! I’ve also seen them worn with skirts…the options are pretty limitless depending on your style and comfort!

2. Shearling Accents

Ideal for adding both extra warmth and luxe detailing, boots with shearling accents make for this winter’s coziest boot trend. Whether you go for over-the-knee or ankle boots, you’ll be nice and warm no matter how low the temperatures drop.

These wedge shearling accent booties proved to be super warm during our Chicago Midlife Influencer’s outing to Morton Arboretum’s Illumibrew!

These shearling lined bootie wedges received lots of compliments! They were on sale and are great dupes for some higher end versions! Remember you don’t have to spend a lot to look like it!

3. Knee High Boots

Chic enough for the office and durable enough for the winter streets, knee-high leather or suede boots will be your trusted shoe MVP this season. Go for a block heel version that’s both polished and sturdy. I feel as though these are easier to walk in and don’t fall in-between the paver blocks of my school’s parking lots…a pet peeve that ruins many heels! UGH!

This look was worn out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle. Then we had a date night after at the Barnes and Noble! I had forgotten how much I enjoy hanging out in a book store. I love the smell and feel of new books!

4. Lug Sole Boots

Chelsea boots will never go out of style, but this season’s lug-sole trend makes the shoe more wearable for winter than ever before.

I currently don’t own any lug sole Chelsea boots. However, I appreciate the trend of the thicker heeled boots as previously mentioned they’re easier to walk in and are still stylish! These are one of my newer pairs! I love the metal stud details!

These white booties were mainly purchased because of the thicker heel! I like the tassel zipper pull! They were purchased on our trip to Saugatuck, MI. (To read about our weekend get away, click here: Fall Weekend Get Away)

5. Snow Boots

Every stylish woman dreads the days she has to put on her snow boots. But this season, designers are making the winter boot look cooler than ever before. From faux fur details to colorful laces and platform soles, you can finally feel fashionable in your snow boots.

I really haven’t had to wear mine yet, which I’m grateful for in terms of the fact that we haven’t had enough snow to warrant wearing them!
