Your favourite style from our range of ladies’ wellies will become a staple within your winter wardrobe and potentially all year round. Unlike heeled shoes or sandals, wellies can be tougher to match your favourite outfits, so Brocklehursts are here to help you perfect your style for the colder months.

Whether you use your wellies for functionality or wear them to complete your winter aesthetic, confidently follow our style advice to ensure they keep you looking and feeling your best.

When should you wear wellies?

Our range of wellies varies between ankle, calf and knee lengths, allowing you to wear them throughout the seasons. While a shorter welly may be a practical option for an early-morning dog walk in the summer, you will want your feet to be hugged cosily during the cold. We are here to help you decide what style is best and when.

The best wellies for winter

Aigle Parcours 2 Iso Wellie

Wearing wellies throughout the winter is essential for keeping your feet warm, comfortable and protected. We recommend selecting a pair of wellies with high-quality insulation, enabling you to wear them for long periods.

Styles like the Aigle Parcours 2 Iso Wellington and Le Chameau Ladies Chasseur Neoprene Lined Boot feature a neoprene lining designed to maximise warmth with every wear. So, for cold, coastal dog walks or exploring the festive British countryside, choose a sturdy welly to get the most out of every adventure.

The Chasseur boot is also suitable for all terrains, so if you fancy a walk up the snowy hills or get caught in the rain, your feet will stay snug and dry, preparing you for any downpour!

The best wellies for warm weather

Barbour Wilton Chelsea Welly

You may prefer wellies of a shorter height or plan to wear them to summer events such as a flower show or festival. The Barbour Wilton Chelsea Welly is the perfect addition to keep your footwear waterproof yet create a look that complements your summer dresses. While replicating a traditional Chelsea boot, the wellies' rubber construction and water resistance embody a classic winter feel, giving them purpose in every season.

Wearing wellies in warmer weather may be for functional purposes like farming or gardening. The Grubs Midline Neoprene Ankle Boot will have you performing at your best in temperatures up to 30°C. The unique INSO-FOAM ULTRA™ and 5.0™ technology perfectly combine comfort and protection, retaining heat and repelling water to ensure you can carry out tasks efficiently.

What do you wear with your wellies?

Styling your wellies to craft your winter look brings endless opportunities to keep your fashion fresh and diverse. Brocklehursts stocks a wide collection of brands and clothing, so you can experiment with your favourite designs without searching far and wide!

Can you wear wellies casually?

Ariat Kelmarsh Shortie Rubber Boot

Wearing your wellies to create a casual vibe is simple. The Ariat Kelmarsh Shortie Rubber Boot features an animal-inspired print to give it a playful yet sophisticated edge and is built with 4LR™ technology for a lightweight feel and stability.

You may also wish to adapt the classic khaki green Aigle Parcour 2 Ankle Boot to your favourite casual look, merging the timeless colour with your style. The sole is made of 100% polyester with quick-drying lining for full comfort and also contains anti-fatigue and shock-absorbent qualities to keep your wellies wearable all season long. The short length of our ladies’ ankle boots gives them extreme versatility to suit any look you aspire to create. So, whether you wish to match them with your favourite women's jeans for a wholesome winter look or dress down one of our colourful skirts in the summer, you have the freedom to!

Le Chameau Ladies Vierzon Jersey Wellington

If you prefer to create a casual look with a pair of knee-length wellies, a style such as the Le Chameau Ladies Vierzon Jersey Wellington can be customised to round off any outfit with style.

Maintain the warmth throughout all your layers with one of our ladies’ fleeces or hooded coats to keep your casual look as practical as it is personal. With various colours to choose from, your winter look will truly reflect you, causing you to stand out and brighten the dullest winter days.

How do you wear wellies with trousers?

Schoffel Whitwell Water Repellent Trousers

Putting a pair of women’s trousers with your wellies could mean you want to create a more formal look. Although we advocate for honing your style exactly how you wish, we recommend choosing a pair of trousers that easily sit within your boots. A slimmer style will add elegance to your look, even when paired with knee-length wellies.

The Schoffel Whitwell Water Repellent Trousers are practical and versatile, easily adaptable to accompany your entire winter wardrobe. The water-repellent properties of the trousers maximise protection from the weather and the utility of the neoprene lining of wellies such as the Barbour Tempest Neoprene Wellington.

Our range of trousers also caters to customers who prefer to experiment with regular or looser fits, should you wish to give your legs extra room or exhibit a more casual look. After all, whenever you ask yourself, “How do you look good in wellies?” It is you who knows best.

What do you wear inside wellies?

Once you have chosen your favourite wellies and mastered your winter wardrobe, it is time to complete your look with a pair of comfortable socks. Adding a pair of high-quality socks inside your wellies will provide long-lasting cosiness, allowing you to wear your wellies all day.

Le Chameau Iris Socks

Le Chameau Iris Socks

The Merino wool blend of the Le Chameau Iris Socks adds a luxurious feel to your winter outfits, helping you to stay comfortable and dry. The Nuyarn® technology provides thermal retention, wind resistance and quick-drying properties, while the abrasion and odour resistance keep you confident during every adventure.
