Here's Every Cozy Shoe to Gift (or Keep) This Holiday Season

Sponsor Content Created With DSW

If you ask anyone what their favorite winter shoe was in the early 2000s, I'm 99.9% sure that the answer would be some variation of cozy boots. When I look up fashion from this decade, the results are filled with paparazzi-snapped photos of It girls wearing chunky, fleece-lined suede boots with low-rise miniskirts, velour tracksuits, and baggy jeans on the streets of Los Angeles (and even on red carpets). The love for this shoe style was so real that people sported them even in the middle of the summer despite their obvious winter appeal. Twenty years later, this design is back in the trend cycle with a vengeance, and celebrities and influencers everywhere are making sure that we all know that fashionable, cozy footwear is in.

Now that the holiday season is officially here, I'm setting my sights on the Koolaburra by UGG collection at DSW. Not only are there options for literally every person in my family, but I'm also a fan of this price point (especially because I plan to buy more than just one pair). Influencer Angela Kim agrees that these are the shoes to buy and gift this season, so I'm following her lead and adopting this vibe for winter.

All it takes is one scroll through Kim's Instagram to see what a chic full-time mom she is. Her style is relaxed and on-trend with a bit of L.A. flair, and this outfit is the epitome of that. A moment, please, for the practicality of this look: Who doesn't want to slip on a pair of leggings, cozy shoes, and an oversize sweater every day during the winter? But the real magic here lies in Kim's ability to turn this look from one that screams "laundry day" into a full-fledged fashion-forward ensemble. The neutral oversize cardigan is about as on-trend as it gets, and of course, these new-season styles from Koolaburra are the perfect modern take on the beloved early-aughts shoe trend.
