Truth be told, I have never heard of duck boots until the last couple of years. I’m not sure how they became so popular recently but I’m definitely not complaining. I love it when a trend is practical yet still fashionable! So let’s take a look at how to make duck boots look cute!
Even though we’re talking about ducks here, I actually wore this winter outfit to impress the elk. On our last day at Suncadia Resort, we ventured out to see the elk feeding, which was about a 15 minute drive from the main resort area. I’ve never seen elk in a farm setting like this before. I hear that elk can be dangerous so it was cool that we could just watch them from about 200 feet away. Before this, I’ve only seen elk in zoos.
I knew that there would be a ton of snow at the farm, and it would be raining on our drive back to Seattle so it was the perfect time to try out my duck boots. Originally designed as hunting boots by LL Bean, duck boots are meant to be very functional. They’re waterproof, warm, comfortable, and versatile for both snow and rain. Here are some major tips on how to make duck boots look cute:
- Wear them with skinny jeans/pants: Skinny jeans will allow you to show off your duck boots and polish up the overall outfit. If you pair your duck boots with non-slim jeans, they’ll cover your shoes and make the look less chic.
- Pair them with socks that peek out at the top: I didn’t get to do this (since I forgot them at home), but it’s an easy way to add another layer and texture to your look. Try printed socks or these cozy ones!
- Style them with cute clothes: Since duck boots are utilitarian, it’s a good idea to wear them with chic and cozy coats, sweaters, and scarves to balance out the ruggedness of the boots. I also like styling them with pom pom beanies since they add a touch of femininity to your winter outfit!

These are all great tips, Tina! I definitely agree that skinny jeans are a must if you want to go for a more polished look, and I love having the socks peek out at the top. And it’s funny that you say that you had never heard of duck boots until recently, because neither did I, but I’m taking this athletic and outdoors marketing class and we were talking about how they’re part of an effort to develop products to market to women. I have to say it’s working because they are cute!

Not gonna lie Tina, I’ve always steered clear from duck boots because I have no idea how to style them, and this post is really helpful! And you look super cute in them too! I love the idea of wearing them with beanies and skinny jeans, a great way to lessen the “toughness” of duck boots. Happy new week my dear! 🙂 xo~ Lena

I think what I miss right now is all of the boots and winter wardobes left back in the UK. In Bangkok, the temp is only going up up and up. Therefore, I can’t even think about layering anything!

I don’t even know what they are but I’ve certainly seen those styles around here and there (online, not on people hahaha). Makes sense though, for snow and such. Being an Aussie I can’t comprehend this!
