Fashion Alert: Womens Winter Riding Boots
In case you’ve been living under a fashion rock and haven’t heard: Riding boots are in. On their website Zappos.com stylist Brook Hyden puts together a plethora of winter looks with plenty of fashion advice for even the most out-of-date rock-dwellers. One of the looks she came up with really caught our eye and includes some really cute womens winter riding boots. Hyden says:
Now that the cool brisk days are here to stay for a while, it’s time to exhilarate your wardrobe with a bit of winter style. Three-quarter sleeves are ideal for any season but for this outfit, it serves as the perfect base atop corduroy leggings that will give you a great, slimming effect. A magnificent pair of equestrian-inspired boots will spruce up your look. Finish your casual attire with a playful striped scarf and a handy, convenient crossbody. Finally, stay warm and toasty with an insulated jacket that will keep you looking fresh and dandy throughout the season!
In her ensemble, Hyden goes on to recommend Patagonia Addie Rider Boots. While the boots she recommends are really cute I cannot endorse them because they are not nearly as well-liked as the La Canadienne Passion Rider Boots. While the Patagonia Rider Boots received luke warm endorsements from buyers, the La Canadienne Passion Rider Boots are a top pick with rave reviews from scores of satisfied customers. If we were going on reputation and quality craftsmanship then the best womens winter boots are the La Canadienne Passion Rider Boots.
