Lace-up Boots

Lace-up boots are your go-to for going to the office or hitting the town because of their perfect blend of polish and ruggedness. But why blend in with the boring business crowd when you can take your style one step further?

Swap Them With: A Brogue Boot

For those outdoorsy country gents, get inspired with these work man’s boots by wearing them with your chunky knit cardigans, tweed jackets and cord trousers.

Biker Boots

Don’t get us wrong, we all love a good Marlon Brando biker boot for putting a tough-guy spin on dark denim, classic tees and leather jackets. Why not revamp your rebel ways and revert back to an equally as trendy time: The 60s.

Swap Them With: Chelsea Boots

Why They Work: The clean lines, slim profile and rock-n-roll vibe make these a must-have for any man who lives life on the edge. The chelsea boot still gives off that free-spirit vibe while mixing in a subtle touch of sophistication-perfect for pairing with your slim-fit suits or black jeans.
