5 pairs of boots you need for autumn

Meta: Are you on the lookout for a new pair of autumn boots? Read on to see 5 pairs that you need to have in your wardrobe.

Brits love their boots, and why wouldn't they? With the weather being irregular at best, it's always worth having a few pairs of boots just in case the rain decides to arrive with nearly no notice at all. Whether it’s Dune London boots or a pair of classic Chelsea boots, you should always have a good pair of boots at your disposal. 

In this article, we'll be looking at all of the major different boot options that Brits should be aware of this autumn, as well as giving you some information that should help you during the buying process. 

1. Chelsea Boots

Chelsea boots are a stylish, classic boot option that can be worn with nearly any outfit. They often come in both leather and suede options, so you can choose the material that best fits your needs. If you're looking for a boot that will last you for years to come, then Chelsea boots are definitely worth considering. Classy and elegant, Chelsea boots are always in demand.

Named after the area of London, where you can expect to see plenty of affluent city-dwellers, Chelsea boots became super popular during the post-war period as part of the 'mod' scene. If you were into your music during this period, it's almost certain you owned a pair of these trendy boots. Fun to wear and easy to remove, you've got to have a pair for autumn.

2. Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are another great option for those who want stylish and versatile boots. They can be worn with jeans, skirts, or even dresses if you want to show off a little bit of leg. Like Chelsea boots, they also come in both leather and suede options, so again, you can choose the material that best fits your needs. 

Ankle boots are great if you want to go for a simple look while still being fashionable and practical. They look great with jeans, though you'll need to make sure that they're quite slim fitting and tapered as boots can cause them to bunch up otherwise. To play it safe, try to pair ankle boots with a pair of skinny jeans and roll them up slightly so you can avoid any issues. 

3. Wellington Boots

Wellington boots are an essential item for anyone who lives in Britain! Often referred to as "wellies," these rubber boots are perfect for when the rain just won't stop. They come in a variety of shades and patterns, so you can find a pair that suits your style perfectly, and they're also surprisingly comfortable - perfect for long walks in wet weather conditions.     

While they're not the boots of choice for those who live in the city, Wellington boots are a staple in the wardrobe of anybody living in the countryside. They might not always look the coolest, but if they keep your feet dry and comfortable, then surely that's what matters most. If you decide to buy a pair, it's worth spending a bit more on a pair that fits well and is good quality. 

4. Knee-High Boots 

Knee-high boots are ideal for those chilly winter days when you just need a little extra warmth around your legs. They look great with jeans or leggings tucked into them, and they can even be worn over dresses or skirts if you want extra coverage from the cold wind. Again, knee-high boots come in both leather and suede options so that you can pick the right material for you.

One for you city-dwelling girls, the knee-high boots have been around for a while and are still worn by many. They aren't always the most comfortable or practical, but one thing they do well is that they complement a variety of different outfits. If you're a fan of the recent Y2K look, knee-high boots are an absolute must-buy and work well with many different outfits in that trend.

5. Snow Boots

Snow boots are a must-have for anyone who lives in a place that gets snow in the winter. They're often made from waterproof materials and have thick soles to keep your feet warm and dry in even the coldest of conditions. Snow boots usually come up to around calf level, so they'll also provide some extra warmth to your legs on those frigid days.

You don't need snow boots until you do, and while that might sound daft, there's no better way to say it. While Wellington boots can do a similar job to snow boots, they aren't always up to the job and can be quite cumbersome if worn for hours on end. Good quality snow boots aren't cheap, but they're absolutely worth the investment and can last for a lifetime.
