5 Affordable Winter Shoes for Women that Look Expensive
Wintertime is almost here and that means you may be looking for a wardrobe update. Shoes are one of the more fun items to add and update in your closet (especially when there are so many styles to choose from!) Unfortunately winter also means that your clothing items are a bit more expensive. Having a pair of quality cold-weather leather boots that won’t break the bank seems impossible, but we have several styles that are easy to find dupes of (and still look like you dropped major dough on).
Tall Faux Leather Boots
One style of boot that looks great with almost any outfit is a pair of tall faux leather boots. Having this style in your closet is an absolutely essential and can truly bring your winter wardrobe in sync. The quality of faux fur has increased dramatically over the past few years so it’s easier than ever to look like your wardrobe (especially your shoes) are more expensive than it really is. Tall boots are great for protecting your legs from the cold and look great with pants, dresses, or skirts. It’s easily a heavy-duty multitasker and comes in all sorts if heel heights, allowing you to find the pair that best fits your lifestyle.
Animal Print Boots
Animal prints are still all of the rage this season and incorporating them into your winter shoe wardrobe can be a fun way to get a little bit trendy in the chilly weather. Available in a variety of tones and styles, you can have your pick of the zoo! Cheetah, leopard, zebra, and snakeskin still rank as the most popular options, but cowhide and mink fur are slowly starting to make appearances. Adding a fun bold print to your shoe spices up any outfit and can be your statement piece, taking out all of the thinking when it comes to getting ready. We love this leopard hiking boot from OTBT that is among one of the stylish women’s boots of 2019.
White Leather Boots
White leather boots are becoming a popular trend this winter season and with good reason, they make any outfit absolutely pop!

This trend has been particularly hot as an ankle boot and can really make a statement no matter how you pair them. There’s something that’s really exotic about a white leather boot in winter, almost an exotic taste and we are 100% living for it.
Hiker Boots
Another trend that has been really popular this coming winter season is the hiker boot trend. This style shoe has been all over the place and it’s easy to find an alternative version without shelling out hundreds of dollars. The laces on these hiker boots make any outfit feel a bit sportier. Choose a style with a wedge, heel or flat depending on your personal tastes. This styling looks great even when the shoes aren’t real leather due to the mix of textures between the PU and laces. Adding this kind of style to your wardrobe helps create expensive taste without having to cash out.
