Blundstone Boots recently gained attention in a recent NY Post article "Why Kate Middleton can't resist her favorite Blundstone boots adored by celebrities." The article highlights the enduring design of the Classic #550 Chelsea Boot, known for its durability, water-resistant leather, and cushioned midsole. It also mentions the widespread popularity of Blundstone boots among celebrities, including; Kate Moss, Lily Collins, Emma Watson, and Daisy Edgar-Jones who are said to favor various shades and styles such as the Blundstone Original Black/Rainbow #2105 Boot, Blundstone Classic Rustic Brown #585, and the Blundstone Rustic Black Lug #2238 Boots.

One of the most popular ways to style Chelsea boots is with jeans. This is a classic look that will take you from the woods to dinner, or the office to the bar, depending on how you style them. Here are a few ways to rock this combination:

Casual look

For a more casual look, couple your Chelsea boots with a pair of distressed or faded jeans. Rolling up the cuffs of your jeans slightly will showcase the boots, Blundstone’s iconic pull tabs and further tailor the look to everyday wear or casual outings. T-shirts and hoodies are  excellent additions to this comfortable and casual pairing. Blundstone’s Original Stout Brown #500 or Black #510 would be ideal companions to this kind of casual look.

Slightly more polished

Alternatively, a dark-wash pair of straight-leg jeans or black jeans make for a more put together, polished look. Jeans that are slim or tapered fits worn at midi length will also create a sleeker silhouette. This combination works well for all-day sessions in the office followed by a night out. You can also add a scarf or statement necklace to complete the look. Blundstone’s Classic Black #558 or Antique Brown #1609 would be ideal complements, or for a touch more formality try-on with the Blundstone Dress Series such as the Black #063 or the Stout Brown #062.

Dressing up

You can further notch up your Chelsea boot and jeans combo by adding a blazer, tailored casual jacket or a moto jacket. Adding a well-fitted jacket makes for a smart casual outfit yet laid-back look. You can also layer with a shirt, sweater, or a casual button-down for added style. Try out the Blundstone’s Ankle Boots in Chestnut Brown #1900 or Black #1901 for an added touch of refinement.
