3 Ways To Style Chunky Combat Boots

Influencer @_hollyt shows us how to nail the stomping boot trend that’s taking over Instagram.

If you’re a big fan of the ‘gram for style inspiration you’ll have noticed that chunky black boots are e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. Worn with everything from dresses to denim, sweats and even tailored suits, the possibilities are endless. But while it’s easy enough for us to say ‘wear them with everything, they just go’, influencer Holly Titheridge shows us just how easy it is to take the AERE Chunky Leather Chelsea Boots and make them elevated.

Like with anything, the simplest way to make things look *L*U*X*E* is with a clean and minimalist colour palette. Monochrome shades ranging from pure whites and cream tones to sharp black and even deep mocha browns are your best bet this season.

When it comes to outfitting, of course you can make a plain cotton tee look anything but basic with these boots, but soft tailoring is what will set your look apart and add a touch of sophistication to shoes originally inspired by heavy-duty workwear.

As for accessories, chunky gold hardware is the way to go. A 90s-style shoulder bag will complete your trending look, but a smooth leather tote will work just as well, especially if you’ve got a lot to carry.

Last but not least, the boots are obviously the hero to your look. When choosing the perfect pair, it all comes down to personal preference. Take your pick from tall Chelsea boot styles with elasticised panels, boots with buckle details, or lace-up varieties. The main defining feature is that they have a thick, chunky sole, sometimes cleated – that’s what makes these boots look BOSS.
