Chelsea boots and a blazer

[OuterFromOutersville]

Right, you S&B lot . I saw a woman yesterday with a blazer, skinny cords, and chelsea boots on - she looked great. I usually wear a cardigan, skinny cords, and biker boots, but now I want to be her . So, does anyone have any blazer or chelsea boots recommendations? I'm thinking a dark grey blazer and black boots...

Massimo Dutti has a rather smart black blazer with narrow lapels and a leather pocket seam detail. Worth a look?

Brand Alley is real, but all their stuff is several seasons old. It's the online equivalent of TK Maxx - lots of dross but if you look every day you won't fail to find something great now and then.

I love my J Crew schoolboy blazer. Mine's a ltd edition tweedy one and the current collection isn't so great but have a look anyway - there are dark grey ones in other styles.

Also not strictly Chelsea boots but Clarks Orinoco Club are a sort of Chelsea-biker hybrid, SO comfy and versatile. I know about 10 people who have them of various ages & styles.
