It’s finally here: the season of the chunky boot. From combat boots to lace-up lug-sole boots with sherpa trim, to pretty much any other iteration of the hiking boot, footwear this season is both stylish and functional. But how do you put together boots outfits with those bulkier winter styles? Don’t stress; we’ve got your back.
Wearing chunky boots is all about embracing those rugged vibes–and then balancing them out with more polished, pretty pieces (if you so choose, of course). For starters, try pairing your platform lug-sole boots with a ruffly sweater or wearing combat boots with a sleek turtleneck and mini skirt. Or lighten up black-boots outfits with luxe winter whites–the options abound.
Need a little visual aid to assist you in your boot outfit styling (and shopping)? No problem. Ahead we’ve rounded up this year’s looks that will inspire you to give your wardrobe the (chunky) boot.

For a classic look with an edgy twist, pair a white turtleneck with a plaid skirt and combat boots. It’s a ’90s-inspired prep school look that also reminds everyone that you’ve maybe been to detention once (or twice).
