The chelsea boot is defined by its elastic side panels and pull-on construction, a slip-on style with no laces or zips and a shaft that stops at the ankle. That clean, close finish sets it apart from a laced ankle boot, and it sits easily under denim or a trouser hem.

The range runs across leather, suede and canvas in black, brown and neutral tones, from flat everyday soles to a low block heel. For a heavier or more directional look, compare it with combat boots and the close-cut sock boot.

Styling is straightforward: straight or skinny denim tucked in, tailored trousers skimming the top line, or a midi and opaque tights through the cooler months. Browse the full women's boots range to see the chelsea boot alongside the season's other shapes.
