Boots with a distinctly British heritage

Purportedly created by J. Sparkes-Hall, Queen Victoria's shoemaker, Chelsea boots burst into popular culture when they became the footwear of choice for many mods during the sixties. A style that transcends gender boundaries and looks equally good on men and women, modern Chelsea boots are true to their formal origins while also chaneling rock & roll influences.

Ways to Wear Chelsea Boots in Black

Black is often regarded as a safe color choice in fashion, but that doesn't have to be the case. Here are a few ways you can wear your Chelsea boots to make sure you stand out from the crowd:

  • Black leather Chelsea boots are great for creating a retro look with a white t-shirt and black leather biker jacket
  • Black Chelsea boots with contrasting white detail are great for adding boldness to an outfit while simultaneously keeping it simple and monochrome

Beatle Boots

Shoemaker Anello & Davide created the Beatle boot in 1961 after Beatles band members John Lennon and Paul McCartney saw a pair of Chelsea boots in their shop window with Cuban heels that they wanted to adapt.
