These Boot Outfit Ideas Will Break You out of Your Style Rut
The looks to freshen up your winter wardrobe.
Winter hasn't even officially started yet, but if you're already finding yourself in a cold weather outfit rut, you're not alone. With temperatures dropping and 4 P.M. sunsets, dressing in the cold can feel a bit uninspired at times, no matter how many new coats you bought yourself. So to break you out of your "I have nothing to wear!" morning routine, we're rounding up the best boot outfit formulas to try this season. From knee-high styles paired with midi dresses to winter white colors, consider the below your updated guide on how to wear boots now.
Neutral Territory
If you're unsure of how to style mid-calf boots, take note from Hailey Baldwin and simply tuck a pair of jeans into them. When worn with a longer coat, it makes for the perfect pairing.
