Chelsea bots started out as a kind of walking bot in the Victorian era. The upper is made of leather and stretchy material, with a volcanic rubber shoe sole. These shoes returned to fashion in the 1960s in Great Britain, and the Beatles popularized them. Chelsea bots then continued to be popular in the UK, US and Australia.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Wearing Chelsea Bots (Male)
Step 1. Choose black boots over brown if you want the classic Chelsea boots style
The Beatles wore black boots and they symbolized urban style more accurately.
Step 2. Wear black boots with a slim fit black or gray suit
These suits can also be used with dress and casual shoes. Chelsea boots are slim fit boots, so they won't look good with baggy pants, t-shirts or jeans.
Step 3. Buy brown Chelsea boots if you are more likely to wear the boots with jeans or baggy pants
This will give a country style look as if you were a horse rider. A slightly outdated bot will also look better than a completely new bot.
In Australia, these bots are still used as work bots in the countryside
Step 4. Bring out the British style by wearing black or brown Chelsea boots with slim fit pants, dress t-shirt and tweed jacket
Add a scarf behind the neck and along the sides of the blazer.
Step 5. Choose Chelsea boots with winged tips if you want to wear them mostly as party or work shoes
Step 6. Consider buying Chelsea boots in a contrasting or neon color of the elastic to keep up with the latest fashion trends
Men in straight, slim fit jeans in dark tones might be able to roll up the bottoms of their pants to show off the brightly colored stretch of the boots.
Step 7. Pair slim fit jeans and Chelsea boots with a mod coat
Try a short pea coat, short leather jacket, or medium tweed coat.
Method 2 of 2: Wearing Chelsea Bots (Women)
Step 1. Start by wearing brown or black Chelsea boots with slim jeans in dark tones
Roll the bottom of the jim twice to reveal the weave edge. The bottom of the jeans should be just above the Chelsea boots.
- Pair your dark-toned jeans with a sweater, long-sleeved shirt, or casual top.
- Add a mod scarf or coat.
Step 2. Pair Chelsea boots with cut jeans and trendy socks
Put on crew socks that reach the top of the bot.
Step 3. Wear a miniskirt and leotard with Chelsea boots of the same color
A pair of black shoes with tight clothes will give the perfect artsy look. A more daring look would be to pair the boots with tight clothing in contrasting colors.
Step 4. Put some dark or other colored skinny jeans into the Chelsea boots
Patent leather boots with skinny jeans are perfect for casual or work style. Add a tunic, wavy blouse, or sweater to this look.
Step 5. Choose a short skirt or dress and wear your boots to show off your bare feet
This is a casual Bohemian look perfect for the weekend. Purchase a felt hat to enhance your look even more.
Step 6. Layer clothes, such as tights, skinny jeans, skirts, chambray t-shirts, or blazers and pair them with a pair of contrasting boots
It will also give a bohemian fashion statement, with the elastic section and the leather overlay in a contrasting color. Luckily, Chelsea boots are now available in a variety of patterns, bright colors with neon accents, so you have plenty of choices.
