What are the best men’s boots for winter?

Men wearing Westside winter boots styled with coats and trousers

Let’s get one thing straight lads! Winter is not for being lazy and just blending in. It’s for showing up in style! The air’s crisp. Your playlist’s moody. And your outfit? Needs to serve leading man energy. Picture this – You’re walking into a café. Coat collar up. Steam from your coffee swirling around. And your boots? They’re doing all the talking gentlemen! Giving Cillian Murphy meets Ryan Gosling in a winter campaign. Smooth. Subtle. Unbothered. And Westside’s winter boot collection is exactly that. A touch of rebellion. And a whole lot of sophistication!

So, What Kind Of Boots Are Worth Investing In This Season?

Two words my friend. Timeless sophistication. This winter is all about versatility that travels from city mornings to late-night plans without missing a beat. You’ve got your Chelsea boots. Clean. Effortless. The Daniel Craig of footwear. Then there are lace-up leather boots. Rugged but refined. The kind that make you look like you just stepped out of a heritage film. And for the bold ones? Chunky soles are in. Giving power and that modern edge. Kind of like Adam Driver in a black turtleneck moment.

What Colours And Materials Are Trending Right Now?

Neutral. Rich. And quietly powerful. This season’s palette is all about deep espresso brown. Classic tan. Charcoal grey. And that sharp matte black that goes with everything. Material? It’s gotta be a mix of polished leather and soft suede. Textures that look like they belong in a Tom Ford frame. Slightly weathered. A bit imperfect. But perfectly intentional. Because the modern man doesn’t chase trends. He refines them.

How Do I Style Boots For The Perfect Winter Look?

Keep your proportions sharp. Dark denims or tailored trousers. But hitting just above the boot. Style it with a chunky knit. Or a crisp shirt. And layer it under a wool coat. Now, that’s your everyday statement. Burgundy boots? Keep the top neutral. Charcoal. Camel. Very Tom Holland.   Classy brown textured boots? Cream or off-white knit for contrast. So posh!  Feeling cinematic? Try a monochrome moment. Black boots, black coat, black confidence. Or channel your inner Michael B. Jordan in Creed III press tour. Tan boots. Turtleneck. Minimal jewellery. Maximum charisma.

Do accessories really make a difference?

Always! The smallest details pull the whole look together. A leather watch strap that matches your boots. A well-fitted scarf draped (not tied). Gloves in suede or soft leather. Maybe even a bold ring or a pocket square. Nothing loud. Everything intentional. Because being well-dressed? It’s about being remembered.

So what’s the secret to mastering winter style?

Confidence. A man in good boots doesn’t follow fashion. He defines it. Every step is deliberate. Every look? Just effortless. This season, walk like your soundtrack deserves a slow pan and a close-up.
