Warming Up Your Winter With Earthy Brown Boots

When temperatures plummet and the world becomes a frozen wasteland once again, it’s beautiful at first—the glittering snow and bracing cold are a refreshing change from the heat of summer— but after a while, the thrill goes out of it and you’re stuck wearing the same old layers upon layers for what seems like forever.

If you’re tired of your cool-colored cold weather routine, heat things up a bit starting with a pair of brown winter boots. They’re just as effective as their usual black, grey or white alternatives, but a brown boot might just inspire you to give your whole cold weather look an update.

Shearling

It might be a breeze to roll out of bed and run out the door when it’s sunny and beautiful out, but in the winter trying to do the comfy-chic thing can be daunting. If you want to be comfortable and insulate yourself effectively, shearling boots do the job with their fuzzy lining. Wear them with thick leggings and an oversized cream turtleneck and you won’t even feel the winds blowing.

Fur-Lined

In temperatures so cold they make your teeth chatter, it can be hard to find ways to stay warm. Even with wool socks, a thermal base layer and a parka, you might still find yourself shivering. Since your feet are one of your body’s most heat-losing areas, it’s important to keep them as warm as possible. A fur-lined boot does the job, and with a fuzzy trim poking out, they’ll give a touch of glamour to your high-functioning cold weather duds.

Leather

Though sometimes it feels like winter is determined to make us dress the exact same frumpy way every day, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to feel dressed up and put together when you want to, too. Leather ankle boots in cognac or chocolate brown go with everything, will last through multiple seasons and look perfectly polished alongside anything from a dress-and-blazer combo to a full-on suit.

Heavy Duty

Got some serious snow trekking to do? No problem. A pair of thick lug-soled boots with intense waterproofing technology is all you need, and in rugged brown you’ll look as well-prepared and rustic as a forest ranger. Pair with a heavy flannel, knit beanie and regular-fit denim for the full effect.

No matter the style of boot you choose, a wintry pair in warm, earthy brown is just what you need to get you through the weather.

Winter doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom with a hearty pair of brown boots.
