6 Ways to Wear Winter Boots Like J.Lo, Kate Middleton, and Katie Holmes
Winter boots are twofold: Some help you trudge through the snow and keep your feet nice and toasty. But then there are the less practical, more trend-oriented boots that are nearly impossible to pass up when the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Meghan Markle are wearing them. But guess what: Celebs provide plenty of inspiration on practical footwear for winter, too.
Katie Holmes, for one, knows the value of sensible shoes. Stepping out in New York City last week, she braved the chilly weather in the coziest Sorel x Chloé boots that look like a dream to wear. On the other end of the spectrum, we can't knock a pair of high-heeled, knee-high boots, either. Scroll down to see how celebrities wear winter boots, and shop the key pieces to re-create their outfits.
Practical Boots
When it comes to practical options, you'll want to look for details like lug soles, waterproof materials, and cozy interiors to protect you from the cold. (For less practical boots à la J.Lo, keep scrolling.)

Next, the winter trends four celebs (and their moms!) all agree on.
