If you’re as big of a boot fan as I am, you probably have your sights set on picking up a new pair for the season ahead. Personally, I’ve already sprung for the square-toe boot trend and have been wearing my faux-croc pair from By Far on repeat. But now I have my eye on many of the other boot styles now emerging in 2019.
Which cool winter boot trends are worth investing in? Ahead, I’m breaking down the styles that are taking over the fashion scene. Whether you’re in the market for highly polished styles like faux snakeskin, utilitarian ankle boots that stand up to winter weather, or the latest shoe trend to hit Instagram, there are plenty of new boot styles you’ll want to add to your shopping cart this season. Go on to shop my editor-approved picks. Word to the wise: Order them now before they sell out.
