No, Not Uggs—New York It Girls Have Finally Crowned New Winter 2026 It Shoes
It's been said that this winter stands to be the coldest winter in recent memory. In New York, it's already snowed, which feels significant for a city that hasn't seen much snowfall in decades. My major concern, though, isn't the impending inclement weather. Instead, it's the accessories I need to make sure I am ready for when it comes.
The issue is that practical pieces meant to actually withstand the elements don't have the best reputation for being aesthetically pleasing. Puffer coats, chunky socks, Heattech layers, snow boots… These aren't the things you associate with being cute or glamorous. But Marty Supreme's and I Love LA's Odessa A'zion has me thinking that might not necessarily be true.
The actress and recently minted It girl was spotted in New York sitting on a stoop outside the Bowery Hotel wearing all black and a pair of Sorel Caribou Horizon GTX Winter Boots. A'zion has great personal style, so I'm not surprised that her wearing the boots makes me view them differently. They looked extremely cool on her, and I'm realizing that they just might actually be cool.
Chunky boots are a perfect winter staple that can immediately change the vibe of an outfit. These Sorel boots go even further. They add edge as well as a sportiness and a gorpiness that can be an interesting contrast to the softness of winter textures.
I'm thrilled A'zion helped me come to the realization that practical winter boots don't just have to be something worn out of necessity but can also be worn out of pleasure too—right in time for the thick of winter. At least, I know what shoes I'll be wearing for the beginning of 2026, whether it really does snow a lot or not.
