Classic Chelsea Boots

In a chic shade of dark brown that’s as versatile as black, these Chelsea boots are a valuable addition to any capsule closet. From the sophisticated silhouette to the sturdy platform sole, this evergreen style is iconic for good reason. With an elastic panel and pull tab in a black finish, these boots are easy to slip into and even easier to style. Pair them with a black turtleneck and high-waisted pants.
