Tan Chelsea Boots

As an iconic design that came to fame in London during the swinging 60s, Chelsea boots are ideally suited to mod fashion styles (think miniskirts and shift dresses) but will work just as well with plenty of other fashion design disciplines. They’ll pair easily with everything from leggings and skinny jeans to looser-fitting boyfriend-style denim, and even floaty dresses.

In terms of colours, tan boots really are great all-rounders. They’ll work seamlessly with darker tones like black, charcoal, navy and burgundy, but will work equally as well with neutrals and even florals.

For a simple statement look, pair your favourite Chelsea boots with a mini skirt or dress, oversized longline coat and structured handbag. Another great no-fail look is to pair them with some loose-fitting culottes or rolled-up jeans, your favourite tee and a chunky knit cardi. 

Chelsea boots are also a favourite among horse riding enthusiasts, so why not channel your inner rider by opting for a pair of panelled leggings that loosely resemble jodhpurs, a tan belt, a long-sleeve turtle neck and fitted blazer. You’ll fit right in at the country club!

Depending on the jean style, it’s easy to achieve a few different looks with a black jean/Chelsea boot combo. 

If you’re sporting some black skinny jeans, try throwing on your tan boots, a fine knit sweater in a neutral shade and a beanie or wide-brimmed hat for a versatile, warm wintery look. For high-waisted mum jeans, opt for a simple block-colour cropped tee, or tuck in a form-fitting singlet or long-sleeve crew neck top. Then add extra layers to suit your mood and the climate—think a cropped bomber, leather jacket, shacket or structured coat. The options are endless!
