Frye Campus 14L Boots

1. Tall boots

Tall boots are just that girl when it comes to winter outfits. They truly wear well alone, but for wintertime, they look especially stunning when you layer ‘em up with leggings or tights.

Free People

Jeffrey Campbell Katrina Pull-On Tall Boots

There are quite a few variations in design when it comes to tall boots, so you could snag them in a moto, cowboy boot, or sleek style.

Tecovas

Whatever tall boot style speaks to you the most and will be most practical for your needs will be perfect!

Blundstone

Blundstone All-Terrain Thermal Chelsea Boots

2. Snow boots

Snow boots are honestly non-negotiable if you live somewhere, well, snowy.

Nordstrom

Sorel Tivoli V Faux Fur Lined Waterproof Boots

Snow boots are designed with the cold in mind, so they’re often expertly insulated and boast reliable textured soles that won’t fail you on slippery ice.

Nordstrom

Hunter Amble Booties

Sorel, UGG, Hunter, and Blundstone make some of my favorite snow boots since they still look effortlessly stylish, all while keeping your feet safe and warm!

SeaVees

SeaVees Bodega Clogs

3. Clogs

Where would I be without my clogs?! Seriously – they’re super helpful if I need to run a quick errand or take my dog for a brief walk outside. The best part about clogs is they’re extremely easy to put on and take off – no time for traditional laces over here!

I thoroughly enjoy this gardening-inspired pair from SeaVees because the soles are fitted with a good amount of traction to keep me from slip-sliding when I have to go out in the snow. They’re also waterproof, keeping my feet dry with every step.

Nordstrom

Chaco Ramble Water Resistant Puffer Clogs

Puffer styles like these are especially great if more warmth is what you’re seeking this season.

DSW

Chaco Paonia Clogs

I also can’t recommend these Chacos clogs enough, since they’re remarkably durable and perfect for year-round wear.

Adidas

Adidas Samba OG Shoes

4. Reliable sneakers

Sneakers are a must no matter the season, but having a pair for winter can really depend on your season-specific needs. Whether it’s a running sneaker that’s primed for the gym’s treadmills or a more fashion-forward design that you want to rock with all of your ‘going out’ outfits, there’s a winter sneaker for everyone.

New Balance

New Balance 530 Sneakers

I tend to shop sneakers for winter in more toned-down color palettes, since I typically wear more monochromatic ‘fits when the weather’s gloomy. I really adore my New Balance 530's since I can easily take them from a workout to a night out.

Nordstrom

UGG Disquette Slippers

5. Cozy house shoes

Finally, cozy house shoes should be a given when it comes to winter. I surely spend more time at home around this time of year, and when I’m hibernating, my toes get annoyingly cold! I know I'm not the only one, too.

Amazon

Dearfoams Chloe Soft Knit Clog Slippers

That’s where a good slipper or house shoe comes in – they exist to protect your feet from the elements, ensuring you stay cozy all season long.

Denim is so very choose-your-own-adventure these days. From big, baggy shapes to skinny silhouettes (throwback!), the latest and greatest denim trend that’s buzzing around is none other than bootcut jeans.

Contrary to my previously-held opinion that I should absolutely leave bootcut jeans in my middle school days, my mind changed quite quickly after a slew of social media influence (hello, ‘fit pics), and of course, Kendrick Lamar’s fashionable Super Bowl 2025 halftime performance.

In fact, Google searches for “bootcut jeans” surged not even 24 hours after Kendrick took center stage. His Celine jeans boasted some dramatically wide ankles, obviously hinting toward bootcut or even full-on flare jeans.

Like ‘em or not, bootcut jeans are coming back. They look oh-so stylish worn with boots and ballet flats alike – forget the wacky outfits of your youth.

There’s a pair of bootcut jeans out there for everyone. Here are the 10 chicest pairs to inspire your 2025 outfits!

Free People

Levi's Wedgie Boot Jeans

Levi's is a staple brand when it comes to any kind of jean, but these bootcut jeans with a bit of a hiked-up ankle are – dare I say? – perfect. The extra space allows you to show off your favorite shoes, from kitten heels to cowgirl boots.

Madewell

Madewell Relaxed Bootcut Jeans

You truly cannot go wrong with a medium wash. Plus, this pair comes with a relaxed feel: per Madewell, they're "rigid with a touch of stretch."

J.Crew

J.Crew High-Rise Bootcut Jeans

As much of a medium wash girly I am, I'm also a huge fan of a good ol' dark wash. It gives your pair a subtle vintage vibe, which will always be easy to wear with other garments. This J.Crew number also features an ultra-stretchy material that comfortably forms to your figure!

Quince

Quince Stretch High Rise Wide Leg Jeans

Bootcut + high rise = the most flattering pair of jeans you'll ever own.

Free People

We The Free Flora Low-Rise Bootcut Jeans

With a cozy low rise and some playful seaming along the legs, the magic of these bootcut jeans lies in all the details. You can shop 'em in 3 more washes, which range from light blue to worn-in black.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch We The Free Flora Low-Rise Bootcut Jeans

I love the idea of pairing this super light pair of bootcut jeans with black boots, a black top, and a black leather jacket. It's a simple outfit formula with a very stylish (and not to mention comfy!) payoff.

Anthropologie

Rag & Bone Peyton Mid-Rise Bootcut Jeans

If a mid-rise is where your heart lies, you'll swiftly fall in love with this bootcut number from Rag & Bone.

Free People

We The Free Holly Bootcut Jeans

With more of a loose fit, these Free People jeans are ideal for days off and lazy weekends. The non-stretch denim screams vintage influence, so they'd look stunning with some other thrifted items, from graphic tees to bags!

Nordstrom

1822 Denim Butter Tall High Waist Slim Bootcut Jeans

Fashioned for those with taller frames, these bootcut jeans fit just right and land a little below the ankles.

Anthropologie

Paige Petite Laurel Canyon High-Rise Bootcut Jeans

If you're more on the petite side, these bootcut jeans are specially designed to flatter and fit you to a tee with a slightly-stretchy material and a nice high-rise waistline.

Fashion trends come and go, but there are some that live in our hearts forever. Whether it’s pure nostalgia or reminiscing on just how bad they were, there are plenty of embarrassing and outdated fashion trends I can list off the top of my head: micro vests, chevron dresses, and *shudders* skinny jeans. (How did we let that happen?!)

Since it’s the season of cold, cold, cold, I figured I’d share several outdated winter coat trends that you simply shouldn’t shop anymore since they’re no longer en vogue, not practical at all, or all of the above. Plus, I’m offering some fresher winter coat alternatives to keep you lookin’ oh-so stylish this time of year!

From ultra-cropped coats to army jackets, here are the top 5 “outdated” winter coat trends to avoid at all costs, and what you should shop instead.

Nordstrom

Cotton On The Mother Puffer Cropped Soft Fleece Jacket

1. Swap cropped coats for long coats.

Because what good does a cropped coat do? They aren't very practical for keeping you comfy and warm, especially if you live somewhere where the temperature dips below freezing on the regular.

Plus, cropped coats often come in overly puffy, chunky styles, so they mess with your proportions, which is not flattering at all.

Quince

Quince Stretch Crepe Trench Coat

Instead, opt for an ever-stylish trench coat. They’re all the rage right now, plus they’ll give you that nice ‘quiet luxury’ look. Trench coats are shoppable in all sorts of fabrications, but if warmth and practicality is what you’re looking for, I’d recommend snagging a wool one.

Target

Wild Fable Faux Leather Oversized Moto Jacket

2. Trade faux leather for real leather.

When it comes to fashion trends, investment pieces stand the test of time – which is why you shouldn’t be shopping any faux leather winter coats. Not only do they have the possibility of looking cheap-y, they might not last you as long as a real leather coat would.

Nordstrom

Treasure & Bond Leather Jacket

Look for a real leather coat in a timeless color you know you’re going to wear again and again, like a deep brown or plain black. These neutral colors make ‘em easy to style with everything else you've got going on in your closet, plus a 100% real leather will easily stand up to any weathering as you don it throughout the years.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Utility Jacket

3. Toss any army jackets (especially camo) for leopard print coats.

Army jackets feel so 2014 – and remember when camo was all the rage? Well, it’s not so much anymore. Army jackets and camo feel so 2014 for a reason, and that’s because much trendier (and much more flattering) coats have taken center stage.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Faux Fur Coat

This season, try switching out your outdated army jacket for a different pattern, like leopard. Contrary to popular belief, you can wear leopard and not look too over-the-top. A basic leopard print coat (I love the fuzzy-looking ones) is an easy statement piece to throw over all-black outfits. We’ve matured past camo – try something new this time around!

H&M

H&M Bomber Jacket

4. Trade bomber jackets for barn jackets.

Bomber jackets are another ‘so 2014’ pick in my opinion. While they can work well in some instances, I don’t think they are very flattering. They typically come with elastic waistbands and wristbands, which can constrict your figure and movements in a way that just doesn’t feel good.

Free People

We The Free Denim Barn Coat

Loosen up a bit instead with barn jackets, AKA chore coats. They boast a roomier silhouette, plus everyone seems to be donning them right now. They add a subtle utilitarian look to any outfit, all while letting you layer up underneath with your favorite sweaters and long sleeve tees.

Urban Outfitters

Silence + Noise Yavonne Faux Fur Coat

5. Ditch dramatic furs for more stylish shearling coats.

While I do love a bit of drama, dramatic furs are just way too extra. They can distract from your look easily and drown out your figure instead of flattering it.

Nordstrom

Topshop Faux Shearling Aviator Jacket

I suggest toning down this “outdated” winter coat style by wearing some stylish shearling instead. Shearling will keep you just as warm, but it looks a pinch more polished. You can shop shearling coats in many colors or snag one that has mixed materials for added visual interest.

The Fantastic Four trailer is finally here! And it's just as creative and exciting as I hoped. The retro futuristic edge feels brand new and familiar at the same time (and is totally giving Captain America: The First Avenger...but more on that later), and yeah, I'll say it: Pedro Pascal looks good. Let's get into the trailer for this new movie because I've already watched it multiple times.

Here's every detail you missed in the new TheFantastic Four trailer.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps confirms the movie's not in our world.

First things first, The Fantastic 4 trailer lets us know we're not on Earth-616 (our world) with the first frame because even though the Baxter Building is in New York City, the cityscape is full of buildings our real Manhattan doesn't have. Plus, Sue Storm and Reed Richards' kitchen is full of gadgets and gizmos aplenty.

One of my favorite moments comes when Ben (played by The Bear star Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is cooking with H.E.R.B.I.E. and winds up improving upon the robot's sauce with some garlic, which is TOTALLY something Richie would do behind Carmy's back.

We also learn that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will take place after the team has gotten their powers, and that Reed specifically is struggling with the fact they've all changed: Sue turns invisible, Ben became a literal rock, and Johnny can turn into flames. But as Sue reminds him, "Ben has always been a rock, Johnny is Johnny, and I am right here."

"Whatever life throws at us, we'll face it together," she continues, "as a family."

According to Deadline, the trailer, which broke 202 million views in its first 24 hours, became Marvel's most-viewed, non-sequel trailer ever.

"I love how much they made the thing’s face look like Jack Kirby’s illustrations," one YouTube user said of the original comic book artist, while another added, "There are only a few things that truly make me happy, and one of them is you, Marvel."

However, the Instagram crowd was a bit tougher, with users sayingthe trailer "was a bit rubbish though. Didn’t make me want to watch it," and that it was a "massive disappointment."

'The Fantastic Four' trailer recaptures the magic of Marvel's Phase 1.

And the most impactful part of The Fantastic Four trailer for me is that it really emphasizes how Phase 5 of the MCU is a refresh. The fact we're getting introduced to a new family, as well as the retro element and the tech, calls back to Iron Man and Captain America: The First Avenger for me. Just like those movies provided us with a foundational understanding of the MCU, I really believe F4 will set the tone for Marvel moving forward. Plus, I won't say no to Pedro Pascal becoming one of the new Avengers' leaders!

Whether the movie leads directly into Avengers: Doomsday, or it ends with Sue, Reed, Johnny, and Ben coming to our timeline like Steve does at the end of Captain America, we'll have to wait for July 25, 2025 to see what kind of adventures await these fantastic four.

This post has been updated.

Netflix has announced that a Little House on the Prairie reboot is coming to the streamer, so grab your sundresses because Cottagecore 3.0 is absolutely on its way. And showrunner and executive producer Rebecca Sonnenshine (who worked on The Vampire Diaries) can't wait for you to see the new adaptation.

"I fell deeply in love with these books when I was 5 years old,” she told Tudum. “They inspired me to become a writer and a filmmaker, and I am honored and thrilled to be adapting these stories for a new audience.”

Here's everything we know about the Little House On The Prairie reboot, coming to Netflix soon!

Netflix's 'Little House on the Prairie' will bring "hope and optimism" to viewers.

The Little House on the Prairie reboot will serve as a "reimagining" of the books, according to Tudum, which immediately makes me think of the differences between Netflix's Anne With an E, which was a grittier approach to L.M. Montgomery's novel than CBC's Anne of Green Gables from the 1980s.

Little House on the Prairie has captured the hearts and imaginations of so many fans around the world, and we’re excited to share its enduring themes of hope and optimism with a fresh take on this iconic story,” Netflix's Drama Series vice president Jinny Howe says in an interview with Tudum. “Rebecca’s vision threads the needle with an emotional depth that will delight both new and existing fans of this beloved classic.”

But fans of the original series have mixed feelings.

Deadline first announced news of the Little House reboot on January 29, which was met with QUITE a stir on social media.

"Get out!!! Best news today!" one Instagram user commented on Deadline's post, while another said, "This does not need a reboot. It was an AMAZING show!!"

And fans aren't the only ones with opinions. Dean Butler, who played Laura's (Melissa Gilbert) onscreen husband Almonzo, told ReMIND that while “there have been so many different announcements about reboots or re-imaginings," the new Little House on the Prairie "had a different feel to it. This felt like this was really real.”

“One of the first feelings, in all honesty, is probably, well, ‘If this works, are they going to forget about what we did all those years ago?'" he continues. “And then the next thought is, ‘It’s going to be very difficult to create something that touches people’s hearts in the way that the original did.'"

He continues that Michael Landon, who was both actor and creator Michael Landon had a “certain specific kind of touching, personal, intimate storytelling about the human condition.” And while times have changed, "if this adaptation of Little House can meet the expectation of this more current audience and bring along a few of those who have loved it, it’s going to be very successful.”

Actress Alison Arngrim (who played Nellie Oleson) promises the new show will stay closer to the books than the original series. “So concerns that they’re going to run amok away from the books and make it into something weird, not happening,” she told Remind.

And after former Fox News host Megyn Kelly tweeted, "Netflix, if you woke-ify ‘Little House on the Prairie’ I will make it my singular mission to absolutely ruin your project,” Melissa Gilbert recommended Megyn watch the show again.

"TV doesn’t get too much more ‘woke’ than we did," Melissa Gilbert said a statement. "We tackled: racism, addiction, nativism, antisemitism, misogyny, rape, spousal abuse and every other ‘woke ‘ topic you can think of. Thank you very much.”
