The Winter Boot Trend Everyone With Rich Taste Is Wearing in Aspen, Switzerland, and Utah
Is it just me, or did winter burst onto the scene with unexpected intensity this year? In a matter of days, a substantial portion of the population—over 70%—is grappling with frigid temperatures that make it essential to hunker down and don our warmest cold-weather gear. What are those items for fashion people worldwide this year? Moon boots.
These astronaut-inspired knee-high and ankle-high boots that ruled the Sundance Film Festival fashion scene in the early aughts have reappeared on influencers and celebrities in major cold-weather cities in the past few months, fast becoming the most-worn footwear trend of the season. For instance, just last week, Emma Leger posted a slideshow on her Instagram showcasing her mini Moon Boots amid the picturesque backdrop of Verbier, Switzerland. Meanwhile, the New York-based creator, Amy Juliette Lefévire, showcased her stylish faux fur pair during an excursion in Deer Valley, Utah. Not to be outdone, Sara Walker made waves a few months ago by debuting a bold red pair in Aspen, Colorado.
These stylish women have demonstrated how versatile Moon Boots can be, as they effortlessly pair with an array of outfits—from ski suits and leggings to pajamas or thermal pants. The boots' surprising elegance is matched only by their functionality. Despite their chunky design, the lightweight construction offers comfortable wear, while the excellent insulation keeps your feet warm and cozy in even the coldest settings.
As the demand for these coveted snow boots surges again, it is time to secure your pair before they disappear from the shelves. So keep scrolling to shop the must-have boots while supplies last.
