When Tommy Hilfiger sent chic, high-heeled versions of the classic made-for-hunting duck boot (one of our picks for the most stylish winter boots) down the runway, the fashion elite couldn’t wait to snatch them up. Available in colors ranging from brown to black, navy to red, rain boot-hybrid duck boots are the perfect winter shoe. And they’ll keep your feet toasty warm while embracing another one of winter’s trends, lace-up boots!
Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2010 RTW
On the runway, Tommy Hilfiger’s preppy duck boots looked great paired with classic pieces in solid holiday hues like cherry red and camel.
Celebrities also love the comfortable, laid-back look of duck boots. Christina Aguilera looked put-together on the go in hers, while Olivia Palermo stayed on-trend by pairing hers with leather leggings and a blazer. The look on the right shows how anyone can rock duck boots: pair them with knee socks and a dress for a foolproof combination.
Get the Look!
If you’d rather not spend $300 on a pair of duck boots, you’re in luck! Many retailers are stocking their shelves with lower-priced versions of the wearable boot. I just bought a pair at Target, and they’ve definitely helped me navigate the slushy sidewalks on my way to class!

How to Wear Duck Boots
Already own duck boots, but stumped on how to wear them? Tuck them into leggings or skinny jeans and pair with an oversized sweater and striped tee for an everyday look. Add some interest with a leopard scarf, gold hoop earrings, and a headband.

Thank goodness fashion has turned to PRACTICAL boots, rather than horrible UGGs- snowboots ruined by water, how stupid was that?
Not impressed by these,tough some people do look good in them..My choice will always be Dr Martens boots.They’re edgy,eternal,waterproof and by my opinion,they look great.
Normally I’m not a fan of duck boots, but the brown Free People style is cute and versatile (not to mention practical for all those slushy winter days)!
YES! I knew they’d be “in” soon! II am going to get authentic L.L.Bean duck boots. I’ve got my hipster vibe going.
I love the practicality of this trend. But the heels are just wrong.
This is kind of a strange trend for me. I live in the country and its kind of like my practical, rugged boots are becoming.. fashionable?
I believe that the duck boots are the best! Not only are they fashionable but they work great in extreme weather. As a minnesotan college student, I can always rely on my duck boots.
They look really cute 🙂 Love the high heel version!
Not a fan, but everyone is wearing them here because of the amount of snow we’re having this year. But some of these – the ones in your outfit – are way cuter than many others I’ve seen!
I LOVE duck boots! I have always worn them in the winter, even during Spring and Fall on rainy days, because I live in the country and my dad has always worn them so he started my on them! (I know, my DAD started me on a fashion trend) Glad to see other people think they can be made cute also! (:
i absolutely love this trend. the william rast boots are so cute for a deal! 🙂 planning on buying them with my christmas money
Unless there was rain, snow, or extreme slush outside, I don’t think I would wear these.
