Boots are a great way to stay stylish while keeping your feet toasty! They pair beautifully with dresses and tights, skinny jeans, and even leggings. Here are five essential winter boots (as modeled by celebs) to help you stay lookin’ cool, even when the weather is not so hot. 

1. Booties

Booties are a hot trend right now, as Julianne Hough knows. Here she pairs a tan set with distressed skinnies for a casual, but cute look.

2. Thigh Highs

Thigh highs, heeled or not, are a sexy way to keep those stems warm this winter. Here, JLo adds a pinch of sass to a leopard minidress.

3. Combats

Combat boots can be worn like Rachel Bilson’s – adding a touch of biker chic to a floral dress – or amp up the BAMF factor by wearing a leather jacket.

4. Wedges

These simple boots add a little oomph to any outfit by adding a casual heel. Perfect for a casual sweater weather outfit like Jamie Chung’s.

5. The Everyday Boot

T. Swift knows that this boot is a girl’s best friend. Perfect with jeans or even a long skirt, these can be worn everyday without sacrificing style.

Rachel is a senior at UC Santa Barbara and studies Communication and Global Peace and Security. Rachel is from a small, beautiful town in southern California called Palos Verdes. However, Palos Verdes is just one of the many places Rachel has lived. Rachel spent her childhood moving and traveling all over the world, living in places such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Santiago, Chile; Vienna, Austria; and Orlando, Florida. Rachel has found her heart and her home in California, choosing to spend her college years in sunny Santa Barbara. However, Rachel continued her wanderlust when she studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain in Fall 2012. At UCSB, Rachel is an immensely dedicated and involved member of her sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, where she held the positions of Panhellenic Delegate, Inter-Greek Counselor, Rho Gam, and a member of the Nominating Slate. Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is a passion of Rachel's, as she is their Social Media Coordinator as well as an active and proud member. As a member of the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honors Society, Rachel is able to implement her prowess and affinity for communication and communication-related issues. When Rachel is not writing, participating in Kappa events, or volunteering, you can find her in the gym, on the soccer field, watching Modern Family, or cooking. Rachel's love for sports, food, and writing often times go hand-in-hand, as one may see in her weekly blogs. For the past two summers, Rachel has been freelance writing for the Los Angeles Times, and hopes to continue her career pursuit of journalism after she graduates. Rachel is elated to be a part of Her Campus's fabulous team and loves every moment of it!
