FASHION TODAY-MEN (…BOOTS…)Chelsea boots hark back to the Victorian era where they were invented by Queen Victoria’s shoemaker, J. Sparkes-Hall, as an antidote to the lace-up riding boot that was practically impossible to remove by oneself, hence the elasticated ankle piece. Of course, their name was derived from the 1950s and 1960s Chelsea scene, when they were de rigeur on the King’s Road.
They are arguably one of the most versatile footwear silhouettes a man can own, with the boots able to be polished to smartness or left scuffed and dusty for a rock ‘n’ roll patina. Their clean lines, slimline profile and minimal detailing makes them the ideal match for your suits during the working week, yet come the weekend they can be dressed-down with slim black jeans, a simple white tee/shirt
An
effortlessly cool look that is ideal for a night out...
