Bustle: My 9 Stylish Snow Boots

Getting ready for a wicked winter? Snow boots are fashionable, uber functional pieces that your wardrobe needs during the colder months. They can seem like a super expensive buy for something you only wear in the snow, but that’s not the case. If you’re wondering can you wear snowboots in the rain, the answer is most definitely yes.

I asked national TV host and stylist Catenya McHenry if snow boots work as all-weather wear. “Depending on the material, you can certainly wear snow boots as rain boots,” she tells me. “Most of my favorite winter boots come from brands that know how to handle the cold like Hunter, Ugg, BareTraps, SOREL and The North Face. These brands each sell waterproof lace up snow boots. Some pairs are not only waterproof but they are also insulated and lined with fuzzy fleece to keep your toes toasty warm in the snow and bone dry when puddle splashing.”

When purchasing snow boots this season you’ll definitely need to look for features like traction, waterproof material, and insulation. They’re certainly bulkier than your ankle booties, but that’s doesn’t mean they’re any less fashionable.

“Pairing snow boots with your favorite skinny jeans — with the ankles tucked into the boots — can give a casual look great edge,” said McHenry. “Wearing them with opaque black tights and a pleated mini skirt, finished with a puffy jacket and plaid scarf is another awesome option.”

Here are the toughest, coolest snow boots around that you can wear in the stormiest of weather.
