Fall is my favorite season to style clients. I love the textures, layering options, and, we finally get to incorporate boots! I’ve broken my boot selections for this season down by type: Chelsea, Chukka, Water-Resistant, Laceups, Rugged, and Wild Card. See below for Fall’s essential boots for the discerning gentleman, and here are three points to consider when building out your boot wardrobe.(click the images below or here for specific item links):
01 Versatility matters: Choose a style that suits your lifestyle.
Sleek Chelsea boots work well for business casual, while rugged work boots suit a more active lifestyle. Consider your daily activities, and choose a style that complements your wardrobe versatility.
02 Material selection: Balance style with practicality.
Leather is durable and polished, while suede offers a softer look. For wet climates, consider water-resistant options and/or have suede treated with a water-resistant spray.
03 Invest in quality: Great pairs can last for years.
If your budget allows, invest in high-quality boots. Well-crafted boots not only last longer but also age beautifully, developing character and patina over time, and providing long-term value.
Happy Fall, and happy boot shopping! As always, contact me if you are looking for more tailored personal shopping and wardrobe strategy.
Cheers,
Julie
