A stylish man is always marked by accessories and shoes. The latter should be impeccably polished and not stand out from the general style. One of the most popular boots today is Chelsea boots.
Chelsea boots in a men's wardrobe
It is generally accepted that they were invented by the shoemaker of Queen Victoria of England in the 19th century, and they were used exclusively by ladies for riding, later they were adopted by soldiers of the mounted army. Only in the 20th century did Chelsea begin to be worn by men who had nothing to do with the army or the cavalry. At the same time, their name appeared, originating from one of the districts of London.
New The wave of popularity of these shoes was brought by the lead singers of the Beatles group, wearing black boots of this style. As a result, Chelsea boots have become firmly established in the men's wardrobe. They are most common in the UK, USA and Australia.
However, this is not the first season that modern designers have been offering men to complement their clothing sets with convenient and comfortable Chelsea boots.They are especially good in the off-season, but there are also winter models with fur, which are indispensable for daily walks.
What to wear with Chelsea boots for a man
Men can wear these shoes both in everyday life and at formal events. In a classic design, made of black leather with narrowed rounded noses, they look elegant and noble.
Designers offer boots not only in a wide range of colors, but also made from different materials. They are made from leather, suede, nubuck, velor, patent leather and even rubber.
Chelsea boots are worn mainly in the off-season, as they are hot in the summer and cold in the winter due to the lack of insulation.
Model
Chelsea shoes are ankle-high leather shoes with a thin rubberized sole with a low heel and a rounded tapered toe. Elastic side panels are a distinctive feature of this shoe. If they are replaced with fasteners or zippers, then this is not Chelsea. In addition to the insignia, the inserts perform a very important function - they allow you to quickly and easily put on and take off your shoes. This is why such boots are also called shoes for the lazy.
