You’d think that having lived in Florida for most of my life, I would have had no need for boots of any kind. Ha! Visiting family and friends during the chillier months provided an excellent reason for me to build my boot and bootie collection.
I generally try to get one new staple pair each year. Let’s get started, going down each column!
- OTK Boots: I don’t currently own any, so that’s what I’ll try to add this season. This pair from Goodnight Macaroon is on my radar. They come in 3 different colors, and seem to look amazing on everyone that I’ve seen wearing them.
- Casual Booties: These can be paired with anything from jeans to dresses to skirts. I like to have a lower heeled pair for comfort, and typically get them in brown to match almost any outfit.
- Rain Boots: These are such a classic staple that not much needs to be said. I love getting a bright, fun color or pattern.
- Dressy Black Heeled Booties: This is your dressier option to wear with tights and skirts/dresses, or even nice slacks. I’ll wear mine to church during the colder months, and various holiday parties with sparkly dresses.
- Moto Boots: These can also double as casual booties, but are obviously more edgy. They’re super cute with a more feminine outfit, and perfect with black jeans.
- Uggs: Again, such a staple piece. I have 3 different pairs, and love them all. It feels like you’re wearing slippers and your feet will never get cold. Also, you don’t have to wear socks in them…which is great if you’re like me and hate socks!
- Riding Boots: Same deal, a closet must-have. I have both a brown and black pair because they’re so versatile. They pull any outfit together, and just have a very relaxed, classic vibe.
- Bean Boots: These are absolutely amazing in cold, wet climates. I put these on and seriously don’t have to think twice about keeping my feet warm and dry. I have the 10″ Shearling Lined version and can’t say enough good things about them.
So there you have it! There are, of course, so many variations around these staple pieces. Sticking with classic versions of each will ensure you have a well-rounded collection of boots and booties that can work for any occasion!
