Style – The Best Mens Boots to Buy
Words: Violet
Desert, Chukka, or Chelsea, the choice is yours this season as the boot is back with a vengeance. Here we bring you our selection of the best boots to buy right now.
BOTTEGA VENETA DESERT BOOTS
These sand coloured desert boots from Bottega Veneta are a classic investment. Crafted in Italy from suede, the natural crepe sole ensures comfort as well as style. The natural colour and texture of the fabric will only improve with a bit of wear and tear, so expect to have these boots for years to come, even if they are particularly on trend right now.

ACNE DESERT BOOTS
These classically designed desert boots from uber-cool brand Acne get a modern update with 2 texture-contrasts. Supple leather and burnished suede are finished off with thick soles and laces. Keep the rest of your look casual when wearing these; team with a plain white t-shirt, jeans and thick shearling jacket for the perfect weekend look.

BELSTAFF TRAILMASTER BOOTS
Named after the brands iconic Trialmaster waxed cotton jacket, this ruggedly elegant boot in bull suede features curved lines, sleek buckles and a decorative roller-bar heel zip for a sophisticated, authentic look, on the road or indeed in town for a toughened up weekend-look. With all the rain at the moment, we’d suggest the darker pair, although we can’t help but think we’d regret missing out on these sand coloured ones come spring…perhaps we’ll just have to go for both!

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTINFor those of you looking for something a little more adventurous, but don’t want to skip out on luxury and quality, these Jesse boots from Christian Louboutin are just for you. An amalgamation of the Chelsea boot and the brogue, the supple black leather is perfectly set off by the wing-tipped silver metal cap. Wear with just an ounce of attitude for serious impact.
