Black suede and a tall block heel give these ankle boots a strong, dressy silhouette. A chunky sole adds weight at the front, with a buckle detail near the ankle breaking up the plain upper.
They work well with wide-leg trousers or a simple above-the-knee dress. Let the heel and sole provide the main statement.
A tall elasticated collar and substantial sole give these black Chelsea boots a modern outline. The smooth front stays plain, so the contrast comes from the shape of the boot rather than buckles, laces or extra panels.
Try them with wide-leg denim or a printed dress, leaving the ankle visible if you want to show the extended collar.
Other colour: Green.
Dark green leather and a substantial block heel give these Chelsea-style boots a dressier shape than a flat everyday pair. The elasticated side panel keeps a familiar detail, with a zip providing another opening.
Wear them with straight trousers or a plain knitted dress. The deep colour works well beside navy, brown and neutral tones.
