A Fashion Editor Walks Into Nordstrom in Search of New Boots—5 Pairs She'd Buy Instantly

Because I live in L.A., I can get away with wearing closed-toe flats and heels most of the year, but with the cooler weather finally setting in, I am back to wearing boots—and rather thrilled about it. (My Arizona Birkenstocks will be hibernating after five months of pounding the pavement.) So with boots weather in full swing, I've been looking to add some cool new styles to my arsenal this season. In search of a new pair or three, I headed straight to Nordstrom—known for its diverse assortment of shoe brands—and found several chic styles I simply couldn't resist.
From moto styles to sumptuous suede, below I'm sharing some of my favorite boots that will see you through the season in style—whether you're stomping in the snow, or off to a chic holiday party. Trust me—there's something for every budget and occasion.
Keep scrolling to see the five boot styles I'd buy instantly from Nordstrom.
Suede
Suede is having a major moment this season, and a pair of boots is one of the easiest ways to lean into the trend. Whether you go for black, brown, burgundy or trending olive, it's one of the chicest boot styles I'm shopping right now.
Burgundy & Dark Brown
It's all about deep rich burgundy and chocolate brown hues this season, and nothing looks chicer than sporting these trending colors via a pair of gorgeous boots.
Stylish Stomping Boots
From moto styles to combat boots, I'll be adding a cool edge to my look with stomping silhouettes and chunky lug soles—a trend we saw all over the runways.
Classic & Chic
You can't go wrong with timeless and chic black boots. I'm particularly leaning into elegant and minimalist kitten heels and chic black flat boots in luxurious leather that will be a staple in my forever wardrobe.
Cozy
From Uggs to shearling lined booties, I'm all about cozy, practical, and soft boots for those off-duty winter days.
