What Are The Chukka Boots And How To Wear Them?
Chukka boots come inside the little space between casual and formal.
You know, the thin line that every man would like to successfully tip-toe on yet usually fails?
Or the section of semi-formal or classy-casual that no one really knows how to dress their feet for?
Yes. For that line and those sections, Chukka boots have successfully surpassed all these tests and come out as an evergreen winner and the ultimate footwear for every time you’re not sure what to wear.
Chukka Boots were initially introduced as “desert boots” for the British during World War 2 and were really popular from the 1940s to 1960s as casual wear.
If there is anything that all of us learn from history is that fashion repeats itself and this cycle is never stopping anytime soon. So here we are, again, tapping in the time-machine and bringing out the classics we all need now more than ever.
Chukka boots are basically ankle-length with open lacing and two or three pairs of eyelets.
Here are some really cool modern chukka boots with revolutionised styles for the man of this century and his ever growing need to look not only presentable but refined and tasteful too.
So now you might ask, what are the rules?
Well, have there ever been any rules when it comes to fashion?
But there are ways to play it safe so we will help you out with that for your initial experience with the boots so that you can easily go about with your personal style then.
1. Try pairing these with some classic jeans and your favourite shirt.
2. Chinos or even formal pants with a casual vibe towards the top of the outfit can work out well with these boots.
3. Wear during winters with long coats and add a scarf for a charming touch to your overall style.
6. We would recommend a medium-brown shade for your first buy as these remain teetering on the edge of formal and casual with the rest of the outfit.
7. Pick the shoe with a rounded toe for a casual vibe. The square and boxed ones might look uptight and will constraint your wearability.
