While the Blizzard of 2015 turned out to be a big bust for New York City, we unfortunately have two more months of winter to go. If you’re looking to mix up your boot rotation, there are still loads of great options you can buy right now. (Added bonus: Most of them are on sale.) Looking for one that hits your knee or above? Splurge on Gianvito Rossi’s luxurious over-the-knee pair, or grab Chloé’s equestrian-inspired style for 60 percent off. If you’d rather stick to booties, 3.1 Phillip Lim has a cozy lined option to keep your toes warm, while & Other Stories has a flashy silver pair that could be worn well into spring. Click ahead to see all of these options and more.

Since these boots are made with faux leather, you can totally justify wearing them in the slush. 
Try these shiny low-cut boots with a cropped pant and a glittery pair of socks.
A clunky navy menswear-inspired boot looks best with slim pants and a silk blouse.
If you prefer a boot with a substantial heel, this sleek black option is sturdy and easy to walk in.
Wear these to channel Cookie, the baddest bitch on Empire.
If you're sick of wearing pants every day, you can wear this pair with tights and an A-line mini.
With a pointy toe and snakeskin print, these boots offer one way to get that rocker Saint Laurent look at a lower price point.
The ideal everyday boot has a low heel and slim silhouette, like this pony-hair pair by Surface to Air. Just don't wear them when the weather calls fo... The ideal everyday boot has a low heel and slim silhouette, like this pony-hair pair by Surface to Air. Just don't wear them when the weather calls for rain or snow.
If you're looking to splurge on a tall boot, this sleek pair is significantly marked down from $1,615.
A creeper-meets-combat boot strikes the perfect jolie laide note.
A gold heel provides a bit of flash.
Try olive green with faded denim and a camel coat as a welcome change from basic black.
The slight dip on this navy suede pair will flatter the ankle and give the illusion of a longer leg.
If you're looking for a black boot that doesn't resemble every other pair in your closet, this version features a see-through heel and textured pony h... If you're looking for a black boot that doesn't resemble every other pair in your closet, this version features a see-through heel and textured pony hair.
Because sometimes you need a jolt of neon in January.
If you're looking for a more affordable over-the-knee boot option, this equestrian style by Madewell is currently 30 percent off.
This boot hits perfectly just above the ankle and looks equally as good with jeans as it does with skirts.
A pointy toe and kitten heel is a dressy look, and comfortable if you're schlepping to meetings all day. 
With a spiky heel and bondage-inspired detailing, this is the type of boot you wear with super-skinny jeans when you want to intimidate others.
If your toes are constantly cold, this lined version will keep them extra warm.
Swap out your usual black boot for a navy one with a stacked wooden heel. It's still netural enough to be worn with everything.
A classic brown equestrian boot is a good staple to have and would look great under an ivory midi skirt.
Low heel, pointy toe, and the most deceptively simple yet cool boot you'll own.
Multiple buckles and a tiny silver detail at the heel are the kind of features that make for a street-style-worthy boot.
If you really want to splurge on a very fancy over-the-knee boot, this Gianvito Rossi pair has the perfect heel height and the most buttery-looking le... If you really want to splurge on a very fancy over-the-knee boot, this Gianvito Rossi pair has the perfect heel height and the most buttery-looking leather.
