There are so many differences between Dress Boots, Casual Boots, and Work boots and how you can style each of them.


You don't want to get stuck trying to style a work boot as a dress boot because your whole outfit will look off. Sometimes it can be tough to know what shoe is going to be best for your outfit and its important to start with the basics. What is a dress boot? What is a casual boot? and what is a work boot?


The dress boot should be worn with clean lines. You don't need to wear dress boots with a suit or some other form of formal attire. When wearing dress boots you should avoid baggy clothing though. I would stick to some tapered jeans or chino's when styling these.


The work boot has a lot more freedom when it comes to fit and style. I think these look better the more relaxed your outfit is. If you can wear some relaxed fit denim or even some sweatpants with work boots it will be a good look. Timberland boots are the perfect example and have a long history of being a go to boot for people especially in the midwest and east coast.


Red Wing boots are also a great work boot if you want a different look than the premium 6in Timberland boot. Remember that these boots are rugged for a reason. They are going to last you a long time so don't be afraid to wear them a lot and beat them up a little bit. They look better with wear in my opinion. The beat up Timberland is a go to for me all Winter.


The casual boot is everything in between. Not to dressy to need certain restrictions but also not so relaxed that you can just throw them on with anything. They look nice with denim and chino's (I love boots with chino's). They are also the most comfortable option in my opinion. These brown boots I wear all the time but I also have a red pair and a lighter brown pair that I wear often as well.
