With winter being only nine days away, the majority of folks want to stay at home and curl up under the covers with their four-legged friends, loved ones, or simply by themselves. Some, however, don’t mind that 20 degrees and below weather because they want to take the city streets in style with their winter gear. Two major fashion essentials for the winter would have to be a pair of boots and a stylish coat. With this being stated, Downtown Magazine has rounded up ten boots and coats that’ll give your outfit a pop this winter…not to mention, keep you warm!
Boots:
Gabriela Hearst’s Bocca Leather Knee Boots:
These Bocca Leather Knee Boots are everything! First of all, you can’t go wrong with black leather boots. Leather is known for keeping you warm in the winter–and of course, black always makes you look sleek. These boots also have an almond-shaped tip, which is amazing because your feet won’t feel tight if you decide to wear thick socks. Most importantly, you will feel comfortable when walking in these boots because they have a stacked block heel!
Mango’s Faux Shearling Trimmed and Lined Leather Wedge Boots:
These Faux Shearling Trimmed and Lined Leather Boots have a rubber sole and wedge heel, which is optimal for the winter slush out on the streets. Not to mention that the faux shearling trim will give your outfit that chic yet casual look without even trying!

Sorel’s Joan of Arctic Next Faux Fur Waterproof Snow Boot:
Dreading snow boots? Well, the thought of actually dreading to put on a pair will be over because Sorel took their signature Joan of Arctic winter boot to another level. These boots are lightweight and contain a minor platform lift. The boot is also insulated and features a new sole which was created to increase the traction on specific areas of the foot where it’ll receive more contact with the ground.
Tretorn’s Chelsea Rain Boot:
These may be rain boots, however, they will certainly work for the sleet and snow. What’s so amazing about Tretorn’s Chelsea Rain Boots is that they don’t even look like rain boots at all, which means you’ll look like a rockstar. The most amazing benefit these boots offer is the softly lined faux fur which provides comfort and warmth for your feet.

These babies are not just for winter hiking activities but can be utilized to walk the icy cobblestones of Downtown New York. These stylish-looking boots are made in Italy from glittered beige suede and are lined with a shearling that’ll have your feet feeling cozier than ever.

Timberland Jayne Waterproof Hiking Boot:
Timbs are so New York City, which you can’t go wrong with every winter. The Jayne Waterproof Hiking Boot was inspired by Timberland’s OG hiking boot. The difference is that this model was made in a slimmer and sleek silhouette with a lug-sole that features an OrthoLite comfort footbed that makes it easier for one to walk in the cold weather.

Doc Martens always provide the elegant grunge look, no matter the weather. The Leonore Burnished Wyoming Leather Fashion boots are one of a kind as they are completely lined with shearling to keep the toes warm.
