Are gumboots OK to wear out and about?

We'll be wearing these on repeat this winter.

This season, take your style cues from celebrities and royals alike who made gumboots chic – such as Kate Moss and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who has been known to pair hers with skinny black jeans, a tailored shirt and vest. Thankfully – gumboots are still on-trend – more recently, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, was seen wearing a pair of gumboots in a segment of that Oprah interview.

So, how to make gumboots look smart while staying cosy? These ankle gumboots from Hush Puppies newly available at Myer tick every sartorial box.

The leopard print option will add a playful touch to a neutral-coloured midi dress and stockings, while the olive is particularly on-trend, and will look great with everything from printed dresses to jeans. Or go for classic black, which is an ever-popular option – and truly goes with everything.

Their practicality deserves kudos – and is a quality that is frankly, music to our ears in the freezing days of winter.

Not only are they durable and water resistant (and therefore perfect for trudging around in the rain), they have a removable foam padded sock and a pull-tab to easily slip on and off. Soft and comfortable, the leopard-print lining also adds a fun final touch.

A pair of Hush Puppies from Myer will certainly up your style game – while keeping you comfortable and your feet warm and dry.
