Seasons typically dictate what we wear on a day-to-day basis. Rain jackets are for spring, shorts are for summer, sweaters are for autumn, and scarves are for winter.

But there are a few pieces every stylish and well-balanced travel wardrobe needs: items that can transition throughout seasons (and locations) like T-shirts, jeans, lightweight jackets, and boots. While boots may not be the first item that comes to mind when you think of a year-round, all-destination wardrobe staple, think again.

Related:10 Comfortable Dress Shoes for Men

Unlike other shoes — like sandals and thin canvas sneakers — boots are the perfect transitional travel shoe. They offer support to both the ankle and the sole, making them ideal for those long days spent on your feet.

Boots can also be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. You can easily pair them with a nice trouser for a night out in a new city, or wear them with comfy sweats at the airport.

We have rounded up the most stylish boots for all of your upcoming travels. Some pairs offer waterproof design, which is essential for rainy locations or unpredictable climates, while others offer an extra comfortable, cushioned sole for all-day wear.

Ahead, 12 pairs of stylish men's boots that blend fashionable design with technical function.
