The sheepskin boot trend shows no sign of going away, and while they might not be the most glamorous choice of footwear, they’re certainly some of the comfiest options around. One of the best designers, Emu, is based in Australia – the birthplace of the sheepskin boot – and has a great selection of styles, from ankle to higher-cut boots, which can be found here: http://www.bankfashion.co.uk/women/brand/emu/.

However, it’s not just the comfort factor that contributes to the enduring appeal of sheepskin boots – plenty of celebs, including Paris Hilton, Kate Hudson and Lindsay Lohan have helped to get them off the streets and into the pages of glossy magazines.

Picking what to wear with your sheepskin boots isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. While you’ve no doubt spotted them paired with pyjama bottoms and hoodies, this isn’t really the hottest look going – likewise, miniskirts and shorts should be avoided. A pair of skinny jeans or even a bit of bohemian chic with a flowing tunic dress looks much better. If you really want to wear them with a skirt, a pair of leggings or tights works well and will help to keep your legs as toasty as your toes.
