Winter is coming, so we found the seven best ways to enter the icy season not only prepared but in style. We looked to the runway to decipher the top winter trends heading our way. Read on to see how we're copying Miu Miu's ultimate cozy boot, finding solace in the return of this '90s boot, and hacking snow nights out in this season's biggest evening footwear trends, here. So even if you do end up slipping around, at least you'll do it looking great.
Boots with the Fur
Is there a more appealing winter shoe than one that engulfs you in pure warmth? Thanks to designers like Miu Miu and Chanel, faux fur footwear is here to save your cold feet. If you want a more authentic pair, try a style by Manitobah Mukluks, an Indigenous-owned brand backed by Metis founder Sean McCormick.
Frost Yourself
Rhinestone-encrusted shoes are nothing new, but we're ready to hit the town in these iced-out styles. Ideal for non-snowy states, wear these with tights if it's extra nippy outside. If Gucci's footwear, pictured here, is too tame for you, try a pair by up-and-coming designers like Amina Muaddi and Mach & Mach.
A Step Up
Courtesy of Versace, we're seeing the return of sky-high platform heels. Dua Lipa is already a big fan, which means we're all-in on this retro trend.
Chunky Clogs
Mules have been living rent-free in our minds for months now (see: our favorite Instagram account, MuleBoyz), but this season we saw them bloated and platformed at Loewe. Sign us up.
Going Out Knee-Highs
Going out mid-winter is always an issue. You can be that person going out in open-toe sandals in freezing weather, or you can make like Off-White and hit the club in knee-high boots. Try styles that read more eveningwear with patent, printed, or sparkly details.
