Just as sure as Christmakuh brings a Cohen family crisis, the onset of winter brings a whole new crop of fashionable boots. Practical since temperatures are
plunging, but your choice in boots can make or break your winter style statement. So toss last year's furry marvels into the nearest snow bank (seriously, what
were we thinking donning the knee-high Abominable Snowman look?), and slip into this season's hottest boot trends.
Flat, Slouchy and Suede
Flat for your walking pleasure, slouchy for a relaxed and cozy look, and suede for its quintessential statement of luxury. Wear ‘em over slim-fit jeans or with
a pair of calf-length gaucho pants; either look will showcase your trendy style. On a practical note: Suede stains easily, so remember to waterproof your new
boots before stepping out into the elements.
Neiman Marcus, Jeweled Slouch Boot
Stacked Heels and Rounded Toes
A calf or knee-high boot, with a stacked wooden heel and rounded toe, blends with the season's soft, romantic and bohemian looks. Pair ‘em with your
favorite distressed jeans, a long and flowey skirt, or even a tweed mini and thick knit tights. Embrace your urban cowgirl when you opt for this look in a
western bent.

Rain Boots
Stompin' ‘round in puddles ain't just for kids anymore. Waterproof your feet in high fashion with a pair of patterned, pull-on, rubber rain boots. Animal
lovers may opt for a wild cheetah or zebra print; on-campus college co-eds for stripes in their team colors; and style setters for a preppy argyle pattern. (In
case you hadn't noticed, from sweaters and gloves, to scarves and hats, argyle is one of the season's must-have prints.)
