Want to know how to spice up your shoe closet this winter? Stock it with these five essentials for work and play and you’re sure to step out in high style.

1) Ankle boots: I absolutely love this trend! Ankle boots have appeared in every form this winter, so you’ll definitely find a pair that screams your name. Since I’m a fan of high heels (as every girl should be) I suggest going for a stiletto ankle boot to add height. If you feel a little more daring, try a pair in patent leather! We love these from Guess ($130: Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide).

2) Knee-high boots: These boots are not only stylish and hip, but they definitely keep your feet and legs warm on colder days. A classic staple will always be a brown or black leather knee high boot, but you can switch it up with a pair of suede ones. Don’t be afraid of adding some bright colors into the mix! Go to Zappos.com to find your favorite.

3)  Mid-calf boot: If you do decide to try a mid-calf boot, pair them with dark or opaque tights to create the illusion of a long leg. Be careful though, many mid-calf boots tend to make you appear shorter. Visit Shoes.com.

4) Lace-up boots: These boots are super easy to take on and off but also a great change from a regular boot. Lace-up boots are great if you have a wider calf, since you can adjust them to fit you just right. Don’t think of lace boots as the ones that tie up in the front either, they can lace up in the back for a fun look. Find them at Zappos.com .

5) Slouchy boots: These go hand-in-hand with the Boho look seen on runways.
These boots provide effortlessly chic, all the time. They come in either flats or in heels, making them a great choice to pair with jeans for a great weekend look or a night out.—Victoria Sanchez-Lincoln
