Just an FYI, if you haven't noticed yet, it is COLD outside. It is definitely time to bundle up. A lot of the time this means that students gravitate towards UGG boots, sweats and baggy sweatshirts. While this is okay once or twice a week, if you have a presentation or just feel like sprucing up your winter look, you are need of something to keep you warm without ruining your style. These boots will do just the trick. This pair of riding boots from Charlotte Russe will have people turning heads and wishing they had a pair.

While you don't need to buy this exact pair, riding boots are definitely in style this season. Pair them with anything from skinny dress pants to jeggings and you are in for an outfit that no one will forget. A few things that make riding boots so awesome? I personally LOVE the buckles and the amazing zippers that seem to come on all amazing riding boots. Add a pair of long socks or leg warmers and you'll be sure to be warm all winter long!
