SHOES IN STYLE FOR WINTER 2024 2025
*Fold over boots and cowboy boots are last season’s runway trends - hence they are not listed below. You might see them everywhere - not a surprise, they are at that point of their lifecycle when the masses buy into the trend. They are at the same point as Sambas last year. Anyway, if you like the style, shop for croc cowboy boots in burgundy and fold over boots with a buckle.
Ps. Shoe trends are more or less ordered to follow the narrative.
1 BIKER HARNESS BOOTS
Feel extra fashionable heading into winter by stepping in trendy biker harness boots. Whether you choose the trendiest knee moto boots with buckles in black, or a slightly lower style in grey, biker boots ensure they are easy to wear with everything.
I’m obsessed with these Jimmy Choo biker harness boots.
2 THIGH HIGH BOOTS
New statement boots are here to dazzle at the height of the social season. Pov while we can hardly imagine the scenery for the thigh high boots IRL for work by day unless styled with a romantic flowy silk dress, if you are a fashion girlie, they are already all over your IG and for you page.
Presented in mesmerising colorways and silhouettes (they can be slightly slouched, in patent leather or with no gloss finish - but not suede), thigh high boots offer a unique take on winterwear. Perfect for a night out with girlies or for a cape and shorts for brunch, these Chloé boots will be your wardrobe statement this season.
Ps. We are obsessed with these Kahite tight high boots, too. So much so that we have already heard the ring - it's time to grab the phone and verify the purchase.
3 KNEE BOOTS IN BERRY HUES
Invest in winter boots that are easy to mix and match with various outfits.
Elevate your look with finely worked knee boots in deep berry tone. Forever iconic, knee boots in deep berry tone will become your winter shoe wardrobe mainstay.
Fashionable knee boots in deep berry tone bring a new edge to classic sophistication. Choose from kitten heel knee berry boots (I will probably buy these kitten heel ankle boots from Paris Texas) or flat berry boots for a trendy girl update on old-world elegance.
4 WEDGE BOOTS
It’s time to hit the pavement in the coolest winter boots yet.
From winter to spring, from the farmer’s market to the office, wedge boots will be the most reliable shoes in your wardrobe rotation.
Presented with a modern update for an opulent look, buy into the new winter shoe trend immediately.
Taking a 2024 spin on the wedge trend, these are the wedge boots that will take you seamlessly from brunch to a party.
5 SLOUCHY BOOTS
If you haven’t already got the memo, slouchy boots are back in full force for winter 2024 2025.
What is more, slouchy boots will transition into 2025 as one of the key shoe trends. For now, shop for these knee slouchy boots.
Knee length takes the classic slouchy boots to new heights, giving them a chic and distinctive edge. But remaining versatile and capable of complementing a wide range of outfits and styles. Whether paired with a full skirt for a touch of classy or matched with sheer silk ruffled high low dress for an effortlessly chic look.
Streamline your daywear with green slouchy boots. Chic slouchy boots in suede are the only adornment you need for looks that never feel overwrought. *I won't buy into this trend, though - I hate suede. But I might change my mind for a butter smooth slouchy leather boots. I found these that could work. Plus they come with bonus points - they can be worn as thigh high boots as well.
6 WELLIES
This winter, fashion takes a nod to the old money and quiet luxury with a resurgence of wellies. Embracing a blend of sophistication when paired with Barbour jacket and slim fit stretchy pants and practicality, wellies effortlessly bridge the gap between fashion and function.
I only wear wellies at home, but aligned with the barn jacket trend, you can wear your Hunter or Barbour boots for the city, too.

7 PATENT LEATHER KNEE BOOTS
Designed with eye-catching shine, the new season patent leather knee boots are made to stand out. Whether in burgundy or black, there is never a dull moment with patent leather knee boots. Style with wide-leg jeans for the day, or wear them with shorts for a night out.
8 UGG NEW HEIGHTS PLATFORM MINI BOOTS
While we are sad to let off those warm and balmy days, there is no denying a certain thrill comes when sliding into fashionable shearling botos. Combining cosiness and ease, it’s time to give your legs comfort and warmth.
Designed with eye-catching platforms and uglier than ever, the new season platform UGG boots are made to stand out. Whether in chestnut or black, there is never a dull moment with UGG New Heights Platform mini boots. Style with jeans for the dorm, or wear them with pyjamas at home.
9 PLATFORM SNOW BOOTS
When it’s time for fun in the snow, step into comfortable snow boots that still look delightful and fashionable. Get mini furry snow boots for Aspen or mini Inuikii snow boots for the Gstaad. BTW I have these snow booties, too. And they very comfortable – as comfortable as Moon boots.
With the days so short, we all need fun snow booties to brighten up the cold weather blues. While being the most fashionable snow boots of winter 2024/25, platform snow boots – I have them in pink, are the best option to get you through the winter ahead in style.
And this is it - all the winter shoes in fashion for winter 2024/25. And no, there are no ankle boots. They are not as trendy as the boots this season.
