Hot To Trot: 10 Super-Chic Riding Boots To Kick-Start Your Winter Wardrobe

Whether you're in the stables every Sunday, or don't know a stirrup from a side saddle, one thing's for sure — riding boots are the easiest way to add a touch of equestrian elegance to your wardrobe. Not to mention, they're so much more sophisticated than that other horse-riding classic, the Western boot (nothin' against my urban cowgirls out there).

Take these simple, sturdy styles out for a trot. Tall enough to keep your gams cozy on the most subzero day, and oh-so-chic with skinny jeans and a slouchy sweater, these statement steppers are just the thing to upgrade your gait this winter.
