What is a fashionista to do when the temperature drops? Wear high heels for winter, of course! Thankfully there are plenty of stylish and wonderful options for the cooler climes. Many of our favorites are found in soft suede, with accents and embellishments that are sure to punch up the style in your winter step.

The Versatile Wide Shaft High Heel Boot

The Mia by Dolce Vita is 100% black suede. It has a tall shaft about 10 inches or so and it is designed a little wider so that it could be slouched down or stand tall. The best part of these booties is that the shaft is adorned with stylish cutouts and metal grommets which are ideal for showing off a sparkle tight or simply stand alone. With a 4 inch heel you will be a stand out in the Mia.

The Strappy Sandal? Just Say Yes for Holiday Parties.

The Luminate by Nordstom’s own, BP is a strappy sandal. Yes, there is some debate on whether or not the strappy sandal is the best choice for winter. However, while the weather outside is frightful, the style conscious still care that their feet look delightful. Plus, the Luminate comes in nine of the freshest colors for the season. From a rose gold crackle faux leather to denim, velvet and blush suede patent; we just can’t decide which color we like the most. The $59 price tag suggests a different pair for every day of the week.

The Wrap Around Lace Bootie

Vince Camuto’s Chenai is a wrap-around lace bootie. ‘Tis the season for laces! The enclosed toe will keep your feet toasty and the 4-inch shaft will make this pair easy to slip on with a pencil skirt or your favorite pair of jeans. The Chenai is available in black leather, black suede, khaki suede and our favorite, cabernet suede. A side zip enclosure and padded foot bed will make this your favorite for all-day wear.

The Over-The-Knee

No winter list would be complete without a mention of over-the-knee boots. Perennially, Calvin Klein presents a beautiful boot especially with the Coletta. Classic design and clean lines mark the gorgeous black, clay or warm coffee bean leather. A pointed toe and the long sleek boot shaft lengthen the leg in a flattering way. The slim heel is 2 3/4^th inches tall. For leisurely walks on city streets, look to the Coletta.

The "Rock & Roll" Stiletto Heel Bootie

The Zepplin was made for long nights and rock and roll. Steve Madden has designed a towering 41/2-inch stiletto heel bootie. Made of rich velvet this spunky pair is available in black or a dark burgundy. A thick black ribbon laces up the front and ends in a bow at the top of the 4 ½ inch shaft. A back zipper and open toe complete this rockin’ pair. Wear for special occasions and VIP sections.

There is a lot to love in this roundup of high heels for winter. It goes to show that dropping temperatures are not an excuse for lagging style. Try peppering your winter wardrobe with a few of these pairs and dazzle the season away.
