"Outfits with duck boots and leggings" might not be the most frequent Google search ever, but we're pretty sure there's a time when that thought crosses everyone's minds. Carefully created with a signature rubber sole and a leather upper, duck boots (a.k.a bean boots) are the boots you turn to when the weather turns crappy. Now, duck boots are a timeless and effortless wardrobe must-have which attests to the fact that they've managed to endure the test of time. Whether we're talking about popularity, quality, or aesthetics, duck boots have been around for more than a hundred years (as a matter of fact, the first duck boot ever was cobbled together around 1911). Actually, the history, importance, and persistence of duck boots seem to fly over everyone's heads. And, we shouldn't even talk about outfits with duck boots and leggings without at least touching upon the odd, old days when these boots were created. Here's how the story goes - a Maine fisherman and hunter Leon Leonwood Bean crafted the first duck boots because he grew tired of wet, soggy feet. He combined a light, leather upper and a rugged rubber outsole to ensure ultimate protection without the weight or the rigidity of regular rubber boots. So, the Bean Boot or Maine Hunting Shoe (as they were known at the time) ended up making waves across Maine. Over the course of time, duck boots became popular, loved, and respected across the world with both celebrities and regular folk coming back to them each time they come back to chunky cardigans and pumpkin spice lattes. Duck boots and chunky cardigans are a match made in heaven, but what else can you add to this combination?
