Chelsea is not only the name of a well-known English club. These are casual boots, incredibly elegant and beautiful, which are worn by both men and women nowadays.

Like the football club of the same name (which, by the way, was not named after boots at all), Chelsea shoes are originally English. Initially, these were ladies' ankle boots, in which British fashionistas who lived in the 18th-19th centuries went on horseback rides. These boots were invented by Joseph Sparks-Hall. His creation turned out to be very successful - the socialites of those times liked the Chelsea boots so much that not having them was literally considered bad form. The success of these ankle boots is especially evidenced by the fact that in the middle of the 19th century they were worn by the British Queen Victoria.
Over the years, Chelsea boots have ceased to be just women's shoes. Their convenience was appreciated by men, who made them boots for everyday walks.
By the way! The appearance of the name still causes controversy among fashion historians. The most likely version: the boots are named after one of the London districts.

Chelsea boots have characteristic features that make these boots distinguishable from all other shoes:
The classic version of Chelsea is boots without laces, any fasteners or decorative elements. Natural smooth leather or suede is ideal for sewing them, but nowadays synthetic materials are also used (although it is difficult to call such shoes real Chelsea boots).
By the way! The sole should be leather and soft, but at the same time thick enough.
Some modern models are equipped with a zipper on the inside of the boot for greater convenience. It is also difficult to say that this option is a real Chelsea; rather, it is an equally beautiful variety. It is important that the zipper completely matches the shade of the material and is sewn with high quality.

Nowadays, Chelsea is a great shoe option for the off-season. It is believed that creating a basic look with these boots is not difficult, since they can be combined with clothes from a wide variety of styles.
For example, Chelsea boots are combined with jeans, including skinny ones, or a straight-cut casual dress. A leather biker jacket or a formal coat would be ideal as a top.
These boots look good with short office trousers with arrows, a jacket and the most simple, strict bag of the correct rectangular shape.
Perhaps the only item of clothing that definitely cannot be put together into a single harmonious look with Chelsea is an evening dress, since it cannot be combined with flat shoes.

When purchasing such English boots, you should pay attention not only to the quality of the leather, but also how durable the rubber inserts are. They are considered to be the most vulnerable part of the Chelsea. Low-quality textiles will quickly stretch and lose their shape, and the shoes will not fit as tightly on your feet as you would like.
