If there’s one thing I find myself adding to my closet every winter, it’s a new pair of boots (or two). Although some of the best styles of winter boots—like knee-high boots and UGGs—are timeless wardrobe staples, I wear boots so much that I always like to diversify my options.

And although I always love to be cute, the most important thing about winter boots is that they can stand up to the weather. As I’ve been spending far too much time online shopping, I’ve noticed that there are tons of fashionable weatherproof styles to choose from. And if we know anything, it’s that you won’t realize you need a new pair of winter boots until you’re sloshing through sleet and snow with wet feet. So if you see a pair you like, it’s best to pick them up now.

The main reason I love a great pair of boots is because of how much they can elevate an otherwise simple look. When you’re getting dressed in your go-to winter mom uniform of leggings and a sweater, a great pair of on-trend boots is the key to taking the outfit up a notch. Check out our favorite mom-friendly winter boots to buy right now.

Weatherproof Boots and Snow Boots

Just because it’s snowing outside doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your style. Bundle up in the cozy coat and finish off the look with one of these weatherproof boot or snow boot styles. These options are a great staple for your everyday wardrobe, whether you’re going on a ski trip with your girlfriends or if you’re running errands around town with the family.

Cozy Lined Boots

When you’re having a busy morning—or a lazy one—you can never go wrong with a pair of cozy lined boots. I’m always on the lookout for a pair that I can quickly throw on when I’m running around with the kids. These are perfect to slip on when you’re on your way out to school drop-off or when you’re meeting your mom friends at the park.

Knee-High Boots & Riding Boots

When you’re looking to dress it up a little with your holiday capsule wardrobe, pairing a cute skirt or a cable-knit dress with a pair of knee-high boots or riding boots is my favorite option. You’ll look polished and sleek out on the town or at your kid’s school holiday party.
