Ducks boots are winter's necessary evil. Now we're not saying we don't love our trusty duck boots -- they keep our feet warm and dry all winter long -- but they aren't exactly the most attractive boots in the biz.
In fact, sometimes it feels like they can ruin an outfit. Since we (unfortunately) have a lot of cold weather in our futures, we decided to look to Pinterest for a little inspiration on how to wear duck boots and still look chic. It turns out, the key to looking great is sticking with slim-legged pants (slouchy pants would make an outfit look sloppy when paired with such utilitarian boots) and letting a pair of slouchy socks peek out the top of your boots. Who says practical footwear can't be stylish?
