L.L. Bean: Rugged Comfort

Tuesday

LL bean Blogger collaboration
For the winter season, particularly when there’s snow surrounding you, it’s often difficult to look incredibly stylish when the temperatures are extremely frigid.

I grew up with snow, and one should always be prepared for cold weather, especially if you have to travel to various locations during the winter. Even if snow is not coming down in your neck of the woods, it can be frustrating to find durable boots that are practical, fashionable, and appropriate for the wintry climate.

L.L. Bean has been in existence for a little over a century and focusses in outdoor fashion gear and accessories for men, women, and children. From hunting to hiking, they have you covered in every capacity for the outdoors! And, for everything else in-between, there are still loads of other styles to choose from in their collection, including their popular Bean Boots®.

In collaboration with L.L. Bean, I've styled these distressed leather boots for a weekend-chic look using the Bean Boots® in bison leather. I also paired it with a faux fur vest and jumper for warmth, which was a great outfit for holiday shopping on the town.

Fortunately, snow and icy streets haven’t crossed my path yet this season, but when it does, I will surely be ready in style with boots like these. Perhaps, if you need extra warmth, I would suggest the Bean Boots®, 10” Shearling-lined style.

To celebrate the winter season, here are my top picks in L.L. Bean boot styles that are both fashionable and resilient for the season. Fashion Tales top boots for winter

    They look great, if you live in a snowy climate it's probably well worth the investment. Luckily us Brits don't get too much snow so cheap and cheerful wellies are just fine for the few days we're snowbound - mind you I've probably jinxed it now! xxx

  5. Haha, true! wellies are always in the closet! Although, I don't miss the rain too much from there. Happy Holidays! :) xx

  10. THOSE BOOTS! I really love winter outfits that are both functional and super street chic. I struggled with that when I lived in Alaska. And I still do now, especially when it's REALLY cold!

  13. For the last few weeks I have only worn boots during the day! When it's very cold it has to be knee highs. Four and five are my favourites here. I love those tweed gloves and you look so cosy all wrapped up. Have a wonderful Christmas and thanks again for all your lovely comments this year.

    Super cute look. I love L.L. Bean. I actually grew up with them. Duck boots were a part of my life and all my friends as well. However, for some reason they became mainstream/trendy all of a sudden. If you're looking for outdoor goods, LLB is the way to go. I love their coats/vest & totes as well. Especially because you can have them monogrammed and who doesn't like that. I think this look is cute & functional.

    Liebe Madison, ja, Du hast recht, es ist nicht immer einfach, im Winter stylish zu sein. Zum Glück ist Fake Fur gerade sehr modern :) Deswegen trage ich dieses Material sehr oft und mir gefällt Deine Weste so richtig gut! Auch die Schuhe sind toll, danke, dass Du diese Marke hier vorstellst. Ich wünsche Dir noch ein gutes Jahrensende <3

    Alles Liebe von Rena
