I know how much of a struggle it is trying to look chic in the bitter cold. After all, there are only so many layers you can wrap yourself in! Having lived in snowy Minnesota for most of my life, I have come to learn a few pointers when it comes to staying warm. One of the most important tips I have is to protect your hands and feet since they’re often the first parts of the body to freeze. However, the last thing you want to do is to slug on a pair of gigantic snow shoes that don’t really have a place in your closet. Fortunately, being practical doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your sense of style. Today, I put together a collection of chic winter boots that are as functional as they are wearable. Scroll ahead so you can be prepared before the temperatures drop any lower this winter.

Rugged Waterproof Bootie

I love winter boots with a lining of faux-fur inside. This acts as a great buffer between you and the wind because it does an amazing job of insulating. They're water resistant and will keep your feet nice and toasty even without socks.
