    • Winter weather may require practical footwear, but this season’s top shoe trends manage to achieve that without sacrificing personality.<\/li>\n
    • From sculptural knee-high boots to ruched loafers, there’s a timely, high-style option for all sorts of cold-weather scenarios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      If you’re anything like me, you started the season with high hopes for your outfits, but the frigid temps have derailed your plans. Winter trends\u2014in all their layered, multi-textured glory\u2014remain cooly chic, but I find myself disregarding them in the face of icy temperatures and frozen sidewalks. I retreat, layer on my coziest outfit, and reluctantly slip into low-fuss shoes. This year, though, will be different: While comfy stompers still reign supreme for cold-weather dressing, this year’s trendiest styles actually<\/em> blend function with form. Ahead, discover eight winter shoe trends that make a statement with stamina.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Architectural styles are here to replace your worn-out riding boots, upping the ante with a funky toe box, sculptural heel, molded leather, or otherwise unique structure. On that note, we\u2019ve noticed an uptick in the undeniably 2000s-inspired slouchy boot\u2014controversial, yes, but also sartorial shorthand for \u201cIt girl.\u201d Take your pick.\n<\/p>\n

          Kitten heels refreshed the trend cycle over the past few winters, and delicate mules are having their own comeback this time around. According to DSW’s fashion director Regina Popp, more is certainly more: \u201cOrganic gold hardware and ‘beltification’ looks fresh on shoes, while there are some fun interpretations of mesh, lace, and velvet, often with touches of bling, that are hard to resist.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

            Don’t neglect the basics\u2014and that includes a dressed-up ankle bootie. The classic silhouette is practical and sleek, with an aesthetic ambiguity that takes you from work presentations to happy hour. In the spirit of maximalism, we’d suggest a tactile texture (think suede, croc, and lacquer-like finishes) to keep things fresh.\n<\/p>\n

              The sneaker-Mary Jane hybrid has staying power. Popp says she’d bookmark this contemporary style for late-winter vacations. (It’s co-signed by Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Julia Garner, too.) The playful style entered the zeitgeist when Puma offered up the Speedcat ballet sneaker last year, but lots of similar styles are up for consideration now.\n<\/p>\n

                Popp says she’d describe this season’s overarching themes as “cozy, contemporary, and comfortable.” While some of the trendiest silhouettes are staunch classics, she notes “a richness in the materials, detailing, and color for winter.” In this case, we’ll take a bite of the ongoing chocolate brown trend with rich, fully saturated boots.\n<\/p>\n

                  Flats and loafers are comfortable with a preppy edge. They feel like your fur-lined house slippers, but better. “Grandpa-core” loafers are on the rise, and If you can’t release the thick-tread chunky loafers of trend cycles past, opt for a hybrid silhouette with a slightly abbreviated sole. Ruching around the seam adds textural interest to a time-honored shoe.\n<\/p>\n

                    Lauren Chan, model and Naturalizer global inclusivity ambassador, has a soft spot for trim ballet flats. Following its resurgence, the trend has found new life in glove flat form, with molded-to-your-foot silhouettes and teeny design tweaks (like ever-so-elongated toe boxes). Another consideration: This simple-yet-sophisticated style is versatile enough to transition into the warmer months, taking you into lighter springtime outfits and beyond.\n<\/p>\n

                      Inevitably, you’ll hit chilly days where slipping into actual shoes feels impossible. <\/em>That’s the job for a quilted puffer boot, a wearable spin on this season’s campy duvet trend. (And another trend on Popp’s radar.) High-visibility volume is key, so opt for an over-puffed boot with details like quilting, fur accents, and metallic finishes.\n<\/p>\n

                                      Kitten heels refreshed the trend cycle over the past few winters, and delicate mules are having their own comeback this time around. According to DSW’s fashion director Regina Popp, more is certainly more: \u201cOrganic gold hardware and ‘beltification’ looks fresh on shoes, while there are some fun interpretations of mesh, lace, and velvet, often with touches of bling, that are hard to resist.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

                                        Don’t neglect the basics\u2014and that includes a dressed-up ankle bootie. The classic silhouette is practical and sleek, with an aesthetic ambiguity that takes you from work presentations to happy hour. In the spirit of maximalism, we’d suggest a tactile texture (think suede, croc, and lacquer-like finishes) to keep things fresh.\n<\/p>\n

                                          The sneaker-Mary Jane hybrid has staying power. Popp says she’d bookmark this contemporary style for late-winter vacations. (It’s co-signed by Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Julia Garner, too.) The playful style entered the zeitgeist when Puma offered up the Speedcat ballet sneaker last year, but lots of similar styles are up for consideration now.\n<\/p>\n

                                              Flats and loafers are comfortable with a preppy edge. They feel like your fur-lined house slippers, but better. “Grandpa-core” loafers are on the rise, and If you can’t release the thick-tread chunky loafers of trend cycles past, opt for a hybrid silhouette with a slightly abbreviated sole. Ruching around the seam adds textural interest to a time-honored shoe.\n<\/p>\n

                                                Lauren Chan, model and Naturalizer global inclusivity ambassador, has a soft spot for trim ballet flats. Following its resurgence, the trend has found new life in glove flat form, with molded-to-your-foot silhouettes and teeny design tweaks (like ever-so-elongated toe boxes). Another consideration: This simple-yet-sophisticated style is versatile enough to transition into the warmer months, taking you into lighter springtime outfits and beyond.\n<\/p>\n

Ahead, discover eight winter shoe trends that make a statement with stamina.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They feel like your fur-lined house slippers, but better. “Grandpa-core” loafers are on the rise, and If you can’t release the thick-tread chunky loafers of trend cycles past, opt for a hybrid silhouette with a slightly abbreviated sole. Ruching around the seam adds textural interest to a time-honored shoe.\n<\/p>\n

Following its resurgence, the trend has found new life in glove flat form, with molded-to-your-foot silhouettes and teeny design tweaks (like ever-so-elongated toe boxes). Another consideration: This simple-yet-sophisticated style is versatile enough to transition into the warmer months, taking you into lighter springtime outfits and beyond.\n<\/p>\n

The classic silhouette is practical and sleek, with an aesthetic ambiguity that takes you from work presentations to happy hour. In the spirit of maximalism, we’d suggest a tactile texture (think suede, croc, and lacquer-like finishes) to keep things fresh.\n<\/p>\n

They feel like your fur-lined house slippers, but better. “Grandpa-core” loafers are on the rise, and If you can’t release the thick-tread chunky loafers of trend cycles past, opt for a hybrid silhouette with a slightly abbreviated sole.
