There's lots of faux fur, trendy styling, chunky heels and suede uppers among this season's hottest winter boots, so there's lots to be excited about. Check out these top picks in women's winter boots for casual styles that will make you wishing it would snow year-round.
1. "Chalet" - Cute DC Boots for Winter
The newest version of the beloved DC Chalet, these winter boots feature water-resistant uppers and soles enhanced for traction on the snow. But don't let all of the practical features fool you, these boots are so popular because they're loaded with personality and style, and the fluffy trim doesn't hurt their case either. Available in classic tan, black and white, or shocking pink.2. Ralph Lauren "Berit" - Heeled Winter Boots
While heels aren't a good idea for icy sidewalks, it would be difficult to find a more head-turning pair of winter boots for days when the weather is cooperating. Available in chocolate brown or camel, these shearling boots feature 3" stacked heels, and more personality than is allowed by law in 23 states.3. Merrell "Puffin Lace High" - Sporty Winter Boots
Sporty, unique and a little bit edgy, these cool winter boots from Merrell feature wool-trimmed collars, contrast stitching, and lace-up fronts. Looking a bit like a sneaker ran into a boot, these unusual boots come in an earthy brown shade, or an attention-grabbing white and pink version.
4. Koolaburra Boots - Casual "Peace" Boots
These Koolaburra classics feature a shimmery Swarovski crystal peace sign on the front of their shafts. Totally casual and totally cute, these boots are perfect for pairing with jeans or casual skirts.5. The North Face Winter Boots - "Nuptse Fur II"
There's no reason you can't be cute and practical this winter, and these North Face accomplish both. The "Nuptse" have faux fur trim and waterproof nylon uppers, as well as being 100% adorable.
6. Sorel Winter Boots - "Joan of Arctic"
I've admired these boots for quite a while because they're ultra-cute, while still being extremely practical. Rated to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, these sporty wonders come in black, brown or oatmeal, and the faux fur collar adds a fun touch to all three versions.
