Winter Booties For Springtime

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Columbia Barnard chapter.

Although it seems like this chilly, rough winter will never end, we can keep our fingers crossed and hope for spring to break through with its welcoming warmth and brightness. With excitement, we can begin to plan our spring days and the outfits, of much fewer layers, we so desperately wish to wear! And more specifically, we can begin to plan out the shoes we will wear on the sunny streets and in the fantastic parks of NYC.

The great thing about spring is when it comes to dressing up your feet, strappy sandals or colorful wedges are not the only options—you can easily take your winter booties out of the closet and keep wearing them after the winter season! As you trade in your winter coat for a leather jacket and your sweaters for short sleeves, your daring booties can remain in your spring wardrobe. Whether it is a sleek, leather pair or a more rugged, earthy hued pair, these winter shoes can be worn in all their glory in the springtime! Here are some ways to wear your winter booties in the spring:

With a skirt

A pair of your winter booties would look great with a skirt this spring season. Wear a light, short, fluted skirt of flowery designs with a simple top with a matching leather pair of booties to create an awesome edgy look. A dark tight pencil skirt with a band tee paired with a matching leather pair of booties also creates a cool vibe. Or wear a longer, flowing skirt on those fresh spring days with a pair of natural colored booties for a feel of spirited, freeing relaxation. 

With a dress

A lively spring dress would also look fantastic with your winter booties. During the day, wear your favorite pair of booties with a short dress of modernistic geometric prints! Like with a longer skirt, put on a longer, solid hued flowing version of a dress with your stylish winter booties to give your look boldness and power. And during the spring night, take out your signature pair of going out booties and wear them with your chiffon top, lightweight coat, and decorative shorts. 

With a pair of cuffed, boyfriend jeans

Winter booties also look amazing with a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans. When you go out to run errands or get a quick bite to eat during the week, wear this chic, comfortable combo. Pick out a pair of ripped boyfriend jeans and make sure to cuff them at the end; with your booties, this whole outfit becomes an essential spring look to add to your wardrobe. Wear the jeans with a breezy, plaid button down and try the look out with a pair of your winter booties that have a bit of color too them—maroon, dark blue, etc.

Keep crossing those fingers that spring will come soon, so you can start wearing your winter booties in the wonderful, springtime sun!
