Step Into Style: Winter Boot Trends Taking Over Australia

Once confined to casual errands and post-gym comfort, Ugg-style boots have made a dramatic return to the fashion fold. The sheepskin-lined icon is no longer just about comfort—it's about cool. This season, classic Ugg boots have been updated with platform soles, zip details, and even weatherproof finishes.

These boots pair perfectly with relaxed loungewear sets, oversized coats, or even with a midi skirt and chunky knit for a high-low mix. Their popularity is also driven by the rise of “ugly chic”—where intentionally bulky or normcore items become high-fashion staples. 

Closely related to the biker trend, combat boots are slightly more pared-back but equally impactful. Inspired by military silhouettes, combat boots offer a clean, practical shape with lace-up details and sturdy soles—ideal for long walks, weekend getaways, or unpredictable weather days.

What’s changed this year is the styling. Instead of just being worn with denim or utility pants, combat boots are being paired with flowy skirts, oversized knitwear, and even officewear for a utilitarian twist. The contrast between rugged footwear and soft tailoring creates a modern silhouette that’s functional without sacrificing femininity. 

Knee high boots have made a graceful comeback this season, offering a sleek and sophisticated option for winter dressing. Whether flat, heeled, or block-heeled, these boots elongate the leg and add polish to everything from midi dresses to skinny jeans.

This year’s knee-highs come in buttery leathers, faux croc textures, and rich shades like chocolate brown, charcoal, or olive. Perfect for workdays or date nights, these boots strike the balance between timeless and trendy.
