It's definitely not too early to start shopping for the key players in your winter wardrobe — especially when it comes to boots. And what's one trend that's guaranteed to impress all of your friends? The sock boot.

Several celebrities have worn sock boots in the past few seasons, even going so far as to style them with some of their summer outfits. Beyoncé paired her Vetements sock boots with cut-off shorts while attending a NBA game, and Kendall Jenner styled her white Stuart Weitzman clinger boots with a mini dress during the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. All of the celebrity-approved looks are proof that they're worth every penny — especially since you can keep them in rotation season after season.

The fitted fabrics are designed to hug your ankles for a streamlined look. Several sock boot styles are designed with chunky and low heels, making them a lot easier to walk in compared to traditional stilettos. Ahead, we've gathered a couple of the best sock boots of 2018, so that you can strut through fall and winter in style.
