item du jour : chunky combat boots #neednow

What: chunky combat boots
Which: Go for a chunky sole but not a serious big platform. You are not a Spice Girl.
I love a zip front ,  lace up boots look cool. A plain round toe is totally right.
Go for black: seems to suit the tough look. It’s the most versatile colour. Brown is a little tricky. White is too hard to style.
Why: Because they’re comfortable. Because they’re not spindly heels you can’t walk in. Perfect for lock down style. With the oversized silhouette happening chunky boots seem to balance out the look. Because it’s winter and cold and wet. And they’re warm. Because they’re instant joosherupperers. New cool boots will mean the rest of your wardrobe might make it out of quarantine. Looking half decent.
Wear : You can trace the trend to Celine. Of course. Back in 2018. It’s taken a few seasons for the look to gain some traction then suddenly the Bottega Veneta boots were everywhere. Wear with big coats, oversized blazers and slouchy sweaters. Toss with leggins. Jeans that sit on the top of the boot. And there ain’t nothing wrong with black pants and black boots. Tucking your pants into chunky boots? It’s too much of a tough military look. Aye Aye Captain ! see the street style inspo below
