If there’s one item of clothing I wear the most during the autumn months it would have to be flat boots. Unlike my ever-growing jacket collection, I find that I tend to stick to one perfect pair, which I then go on to wear until they’re literally falling apart at the seams. Yet for some reason, up until 2020, it’s always been such a struggle to find a style which ticks all the boxes: I need them to be comfy, hard-wearing, not extortionately expensive and, of course, stylish.
However, thanks to Bottega Veneta, the chunky boot has been flourishing over the last 12 months, and it’s gone from being a niche shoe offering to something that is available in a variety of iterations from both high street and designer brands. There’s so much to choose from: You’ve got the ‘extra’ Chelsea boot, which typically comes with dramatic calf-grazing height, classic lace-ups for those craving a ’80s punk vibe, and of course, there’s the don’t-mess-with-me XXL variety, inspired by Prada’s viral Beatle boots.
These statement-making (yet no less practical) styles are your cold weather answer to 2020’s velcro sandal: i.e. they’re an easy way to give any outfit an edge. Throw together with a floral dress and watch it become instantly more interesting, or elevate your fave jeans-and-white-t-shirt pairing with a high-impact buckled pair (you can’t get much better than & Other Stories’ duo buckle leather boots). Scroll down to see and shop the best chunky boots styles to invest in this autumn.
