30 Statement Boot Styles I Can't Stop Staring At
Putting together outfits in the winter is not always easy. The endless wind tunnels and snowfall make us put our fashionable skirts and dresses to the side to make way for a more practical wardrobe. No matter how cold it gets, there's one item that you can wear that will take any outfit to the next level: statement boots. There comes a time of year when you'll find me leaning on nothing but black sweaterdresses and jeans. Pairing these looks with statement boots helps me still feel put together no matter what.
Many of the best 2022 and 2023 trends can be found in the boot collections of my favorite brands this year. Styles such as metallic, thigh-high, Western, animal print, and more are running wild. I fondly refer to myself as a shoe collector, so you should know in advance to expect great things from me. Below, find 30 statement boots that I'd suggest adding to your wardrobe.
