The famous Chelsea Boot has epitomised the ankle boot. It is doubtful you’d have to head far before spotting someone parading about in a pair! Instantly recognizable with two elastic side panels, they boast versatility and simplicity, which is why they are so popular with both men and women all over the world. Characterized by:

●       Often a pull tab on the rear to make it easy to take them off and on

●       Typically a very low heel and flatter sole

●       Normally a more rounded toe rather than pointed

●       Defined by two elastic looking side panels

The combination of practical elements makes them an all-purpose shoe for every and any season - there is no reason you cannot wear them all year round!

Chelsea boots have a long and rich history dating back to the Victorian era. In 1830, a man named J.S. Hall, who was Queen Victoria’s shoemaker, originally designed the boots for men in - you guessed it - Chelsea, London. Hundreds of years later, you now see both men and women sporting the boot throughout the year.

What made them a great success, all those years ago, was the pull tabs on the back of the boot. This ensured they could be put on with ease, in comparison to traditional boots that you had to tediously lace up. As well as this, the boots’ classic elastic paneled sections were, at the time, an innovation to the footwear industry.

Throughout the 1960s, the Chelsea boot rose to fame again when the The Beatles wore them as part of their outfits for their staged concerts. Nicknamed the “Beatle Boots”, the original Chelsea boot was adapted to have a pointed toe and a higher heel section. After seeing them be worn by famous musicians, everybody wanted a pair of stylish Chelsea boots for themselves. From this point on, the boots have never gone out of style and the rest, as they say, is history. 

We’re often in a hurry and a pair of Chelsea boots that are easy to throw on with any outfit saves time and stress. Even more so with super soft wool lining, allowing you to go sockless and enjoy that barefoot feeling. 

Classic, girly or edgy: no matter your style or mood, Chelsea boots are extremely adaptive and go great with every outfit. Here are 5 different ideas to inspire your next look or help you express your individual style. 

Come rain or shine, you can style Chelsea boots with shorts, to create a chic outfit. Whether you’re pairing with casual or tailored shorts, our Chelsea boots will look incredible! To rock this look in colder weather, wear a pair of black, semi-transparent tights under some cool shorts. If you’re looking for an outfit with a vintage edge, try our boots in the shade “Sandmelé.” 

When pairing your Merino Wool Boots with jeans, your pants shouldn’t be too long—and shouldn’t be worn over the boots. It’s best to opt either for skinny jeans worn inside the boots, or to roll longer jeans up over the top of the boots. For an even cooler look, go for jeans with a fringed hem.

For those who like creating an air of mystery with their outfit, you may wish to stick to dark tones. Throw on your favourite pair of dark denim jeans, a leather jacket, a simple tee, and a pair of black or grey Chelsea boots. That’s all you need for rocking this look. To add a more feminine edge, opt for a flattering mini-skirt instead of pants.

Do you tend to wear neutral colours? If this is you, you can let your accessories do the talking. Choose a statement necklace or stylish bag, keeping the rest of the outfit classy with minimalistic Chelsea boots.
