Duck boots are Winter's gift and curse. They are absolutely necessary when you're living in the frigid Northeast, like I am, and global warming is out to get us. But I am determined to make the ugly duckling of my wardrobe a swan song of style. *double pun intended*
These are my L.L. Bean Bean Boots. If you're a part of my family, owning a pair of these is like a right of passage. We are some of L.L. Beans' most loyal customers and definitely embody the outdoorsmen lifestyle. These are the most classic pair of 'duck boots' in my opinion. The tan/raw sienna leather upper and brown rubber bottom are a neutral pairing that go with just about anything. But if this isn't your favourite combination, L.L. Bean do a few others! My favourite part is definitely the lifetime warranty that come with the boots which really make it worth a pretty penny. However, in comparison to some other designer snow boots they are at the lower end.

This entire outfit is designed to help you brave the cold and look chic doing it. Let's start bottom up, with the stars of the show. Obviously the duck boots are from L.L. Bean and I paired them with my best pair of trusty blue skinny jeans from Zara. There are no rips on these jeans which make them perfect for keeping in the warmth. The J.Crew turtleneck is actually a hand-me-down from my mother and 100% merino wool so it's super warm. Combined with a tomboy coat from Zara, the turtleneck makes for a classic silhouette. The coat is also part wool and keeps out the wind chill. Finally I added my trusty Ralph Lauren satchel to complete a classy look that's ready to face the cold.
