How To Wear Men’s Boots 101 - 5 Best Boot Styles: Chukka, Chelsea, Jodhpur, Balmoral & Winter Boots
About this video
The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to five essential men’s boots, explaining which styles suit different occasions, lifestyles, and preferences. They cover the chukka boot, Jodhpur boot, Chelsea boot, Balmoral boot, and winter boots, detailing appropriate colors, styling combinations, and who should—and shouldn’t—invest in each style. The team also recommends complementary accessories like shoe horns and varied laces to maximize boot versatility.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that no single boot works for everyone, so men should consider their lifestyle, formality preferences, and climate when selecting boots
- The Gazette team recommends starting with dark brown or chocolate tones for first boots due to versatility, then experimenting with lighter shades like sand or tan once established in a collection
- The Gazette team suggests investing in accessories like quality shoe horns and multiple laces in different colors to extend the versatility of a single boot and create varied looks
