Chelsea Boots

<-h2->Chelsea boots in flat and heeled cuts<-h2-> Some shapes never need reinventing, and the Chelsea boot is one of them. This edit runs flat, block-heel and chunky-sole versions in black, brown and tan leather-look and suede finishes, with elastic at the ankle and a pull tab behind. Set a flat black pair against a straight jean and a long wool coat and the proportion works immediately, which is how it becomes the autumn uniform. Under a knitted midi dress, a chunky sole adds the weight the outfit needs to stop reading soft. A block heel with a tailored trouser sharpens the whole line for a day of meetings that turns into drinks. Suede feels warmer, smooth leather look feels sharper, and both change the character of everything above them. The shaft wants to finish just above the ankle bone, which is where the leg looks longest. Get the boot right and the outfit needs nothing else from you.
