I Forgot About These Winter Boots Until Meghan Markle Styled a Pair In the Most 2025 Way
It's been snowing more than usual in New York lately, and I guarantee that I'm not the only person in the city who's been stumped by the precipitation, which usually melts into slush by now but is instead accumulating—a lot. I don't own snow boots nor would I know how to style them if I did. So instead, I've been putting my not-safe-for-snow footwear through the ringer.
Everything changed though when I saw the below photo of Meghan Markle during the 2025 Invictus Games, in which she's wearing the winter boots I'd completely forgotten about in the chicest, most right-now way: tucked into a relaxed, non-skinny pair of white jeans. Suddenly, making a practical shoe purchase didn't feel out of the question for me. When I found out her exact Sorel boots were on sale, I clicked Amazon's big, orange "buy now" button right away.
On Meghan Markle: Aritzia The Super Puff Long ($350); Sorel Joan of Arctic Waterproof Boots ($159)
Specifically, Markle wore a tan pair of Sorel's Joan of Arctic waterproof boots, which feature a rubber, duck-like toe and tall, faux–trim. She styled the $159 shoes (down from $240) with white denim, a matching sweater, and a long, black Aritzia Super Puff coat, the perfect choice for a cold, snowy day in Vancouver.
Though the Duchess of Sussex is more accustomed to dressing for warmer weather since she and Prince Harry relocated to California in 2020, that doesn't mean she's not a master cold-weather dresser. The former actress spent years living in Toronto during her days playing Rachel Zane on the hit lawyer drama Suits. The family also briefly stayed in Canada before their move to California. Suffice it to say, Markle knows how to make a pair of winter boots look chic. And if it's Sorels she swears by, then it's Sorels I need.
