When I think of Scandi style, my mind immediately goes to colourful bonnets, voluminous skirts and chunky trainers—a uniform of playful pieces and joy-sparking colour, neatened by the sleek styling and inherent grace that runs throughout the Scandi style-set’s wardrobes.
While I often look to them for inspiration in the summer months, I was particularly curious to see how they’d be elevating their outfits ahead of the coldest season. A few minutes of scrolling was all it took to spot the shift: this winter, the Scandi style set is trading in its chunky trainers for something ten times sleeker—chic kitten heel boots.
Styled with jeans, wool trousers and even suede separates, these streamlined boots are fast becoming the finishing touch to Scandinavia’s most polished cold-weather outfits. A sharp pivot from the sporty silhouettes they usually favour, this winter-ready alternative offers the warmth and coverage the season demands, while bringing a level of elegance that trainers could never quite match.
And while stilettos will always have their place, their fussier feel is at odds with the Scandi girl’s relaxed sensibility. Kitten heels, however, the right amount of lift and poise—enough to elevate an outfit without making it feel overly considered.
More refined than flats and more wearable than towering heels, read on to discover the chicest kitten heel boots to shop this winter.
