10 Boot Trends You'll Want To Wear Everywhere In 2023
New year, new style! The cold, winter months can be depressing, but a new pair of boots can always brighten your day. Whether you're looking for something practical to wear in the snow and frigid temperatures, you're looking for a hot new boot to wear to work or you simply love to keep up on all the latest styles, there is a boot trend for everyone in 2023.
Boots are such a great addition to your wardrobe because not only are they fashionable and can complete your outfit but they also add a lot of function. For 2023, we're seeing some trends reign supreme, but people are also being a lot more creative when it comes to what they wear. "I see people wanting to make a statement and taking risks with their fashion choices," Boston-based stylist Amanda Vargus tells USA Today.
If you've been looking to update your wardrobe in the new year, a new pair of boots (or two) is a great place to start. If you're not sure how to incorporate a certain trend into your wardrobe, celebrity stylist Dani Michelle told DSW that "the best way to make a trend your own is to work it into your own personal shape and style." Now, we've compiled 10 of the hottest boot trends you'll want to wear everywhere in 2023 to help you on your next shopping trip.
The platform
If you love high heels but aren't so confident wearing a pair of stilettos, or you're simply in search of a more comfortable alternative, we have good news for you. The platform is back for 2023 and is one of the hottest trends for all types of shoes, not just boots. "A platform shoe adds a bit of fun and edge to any style," celebrity stylist Jennifer Udechukwu told InStyle, adding that it "can be more comfortable for your arch and provide better balance."
Denim boots
Denim is having a big moment. We've seen denim on the runways, on influencers, and on celebrities this year, so it's no surprise that denim boots are going to be a huge trend in 2023. Designers like Isabel Marant and Diesel have showcased denim boots on the runway, a sign of things to come. Whether you like a tall boot or short, stiletto or lug sole, denim boots are going to be everywhere in 2023.
White boots
We've already told you that white ankle boots are one of this year's hottest trends, and while they'll continue to be hot well into the new year, white boots in general are going to be very popular. All-white outfits will be in style in 2023, making all-white boots a fashion must-have.
Cowboy boots
Thanks in part to the popularity of shows such as "Yellowstone," cowboy boots are back and one of 2023's hottest boots. One of the best things about cowboy boots is how versatile they are. You can wear them during any season and with almost any outfit. Pair them with a pair of jeans for a casual look or with a dress or skirt for something a little more formal.
Combat boots
A combat boot is the perfect blend of function and fashion for the winter months, which is why they are so on trend for 2023. "They are sturdy, highly functional, and very on-trend. You will see people wearing them with everything from distressed jeans to dresses," wardrobe consultant Alison Bruhn told The Zoe Report. Whether Doc Martens are your style or you prefer something a little more glam, you can't go wrong with combat boots.
Micro heels
If a platform sole isn't for you but you still want to add some height to your boots, you may want to go with the kitten heel. The style will not only give you retro vibes but also add that touch of femininity you've been looking for while also being comfortable enough to wear all day.
Lug sole
Lug sole boots were the sole of the fall 2022 season, and it was so popular that the trend will continue to be hot in 2023. The best thing about these boots is that they're not only fashionable and available in a variety of styles and colors, but they're super comfortable and practical in the colder weather.
Metallic
If you really want to make a statement in 2023, grab a pair of metallic boots. Whether you opt for gold, silver, or a bright, vivid color, opting for boots in a metallic finish is one way to stand out in a crowd. We tend to go for practical or more neutral tones when choosing boots, which is why we love that metallic will be so on trend in 2023. This is a great choice to add a bit of personality to your outfit during those colder months.
Point your toes
Pointed-toe boots are going to be hot in 2023, which is great news for those who love to wear dressier boots without high heels. What's more, these are the perfect option if you want to combine sexiness and comfort. These boots look great dressed down or up and still give a sleek vibe when paired with a lower sole.
Rain boots
Your Wellies aren't just for rainy weather! Rain boots aren't just practical but also stylish and can pair well with several different outfit choices. Chanel even designed its own line of rainboots that could even be seen on the runway in its Fall-Winter 2022-2023 show in black, khaki, and beige rubber. While the Chanel rain boots may not be within budget, the style is certainly there to be emulated.
