Winter months pose a certain challenge. You’re out there battling the snow, the rain, the mud. It’s cold and messy and you need the right gear. The easiest thing to do is forget your sense of style and just throw on the warmest gear you can find. But it’s not the answer. There’s a better way. The first thing to do is get the essentials right: proper footwear to keep you warm and dry without skimping on looks. Then let the rest follow — great outerwear, a strong knit, the right trousers and of course, good accessories.

Sorel’s waterproof chukka is the dream come true. At first glance, it’s a good looking leather lace-up. In reality, it is so much more. It’s waterproof and equipped with a rugged rubber sole for added traction should the weather turn against you. You can truly wear it any time whether you need the added protection or not so you’ll always be fully prepared. Styling is easy with this one. We paired it with a quilted olive jacket, earth-toned pullover and slim medium-wash jeans.
