What do you wear with tan Chelsea boots?

[JellyBea]

I have a thing for flat Chelsea boots. I've always bought a cheap high street pair every winter, but last year invested in a black pair of Dr Martens ones and they are amazing.

I've just picked up a tan pair of the same Dr Martens in the Office sale for an absolute bargain (reduced to £67 then an extra 25% off with a code) and they looks beautiful, but I don't know what I'd wear them with. The black just seem to go with everything.

In winter I usually wear a dress (I generally swing towards navy, grey, burgundy colours) with black tights and a camel wool coat.

Would this go with the tan boots or not? I feel weird about wearing black tights with tan boots!

I've just collected mine and I'm just not sure about the size and how they sit on my cankles

I need to try them on with socks and also tights...

[JellyBea]

My cherry red ones arrived today and they are lovely!

I wore them yesterday with skinny jeans.
I shall be wearing them with all jeans (most of mine are skinny jeans) either with jeans tucked in or out over the top of the boot, leggings and dresses, dresses and tights, skirts and tights.
Most of my jumpers are navy, cream or neutral shades, trousers are denim, khaki, burgundy and leggings are black.
Skirts I've got are baby and cream colours, and a couple of dresses I would wear them with are navy.

What will you wear them with? Am looking for more inspiration!

[winchesterfan]

I got the boots in tan today, I love them!
The 4 fits perfectly and they are so comfy, no breaking in needed like regular DMs!
I like the tan colour, I think once they've got the 'worn' look, they'll look great.

Pippin Good to know about the dress, might have to have a little look.

I've ordered my boots for instore collection, cant wait!

[Pippin8]

Just waiting on the boots now...

[Pippin8]

I just bought the green dress I linked. Lovely colour, fit & style.

The fabric is stretchy crepe & quite thin. It looks like it'll wash well & for £26 I'm keeping it.

I ordered these and collected them today in store, but returned them immediately after trying them on. They came up too tall on me and I wouldn't have been able to wear them with dresses/skirts. All was not lost, because I bought some flat black suede Chelsea boots - but with a zip at the side - and also ordered some ankle boots. I have wide, small feet so finding anything that fits is like a miracle!

[doctorboo]

dotty I'm so sorry I missed your comment when I was reading through . I'm 5'3/4" with chunky legs so it could be an interesting look!

wine Yes, no cute white summer shoes or clarks Key shoes for me!

I've ordered the 5's, really hope they're comfy - I love the price

[winefairyagain]

I remember that trauma doctorboo. The feet measuring and subsequent humiliation when they would dust off the only shoes in the shop that would fit.

Once when I was having a wobble the assistant said if I didn't like the shoe then the only other thing wide enough were the boxes I can laugh about it now

I love the colour mainly because it doesn't scream DM and it's neutral enough to go with everything else I wear. And they were £53 including delivery.

[doctorboo]

winefairy thank you for your help. I was the girl in extra extra wide shit sensible shoes from the moment I could walk. I was always envious of my slim footed friends 😀. I've been given some dosh (either £40 or £150, TBD) and am torn between these and a darker version...

[winefairyagain]

I'm a very wide (think flippers) size 6 and quite a bit. Usually play safe with a 7 but got these in a 6 and they are perfect. I'm 5'6 and the length was fine.

The right boot had obviously been out on the shop floor and was more worn in hence the left one felt a little stiffer around the ankle but nothing I now know won't soften very quickly.

As I said, I don't find them chunky (one of my pet hates) but it's all relative I guess.

[dottyaboutstripes]

I'm a wide size 5 and they were a bit too big .
I did find them to chunky and felt they came up to a bit of a strange height on my leg - maybe I'm just too short at 5ft1??

[doctorboo]

Right. I want them. I'm imaging them with dresses, skirts, straight leg trous.

Jelly love your coat! Pippin8 that's a lovely dress.

So I have wide but short size 5 feet, do you think I should get them in a size 5????

[jelly10]

Love that dress Pippin. Thanks winefairy, I'm the same with DMs but if these are neater than other styles I might give them a try.

[winefairyagain]

Green dress is lovely Pippin. Would look great with the boots!

They aren't too chunky. I usually avoid DM's like the plague because being already fairly large of foot they make me feel like a clown and they remind me of Uni but this style is quite neat.

I sized down as I was between sizes which made a difference too though.

[Pippin8]

I think they would, I'm hoping so. I've seen this green dress im hoping to wear with the tan boots.

Then I'm thinking, brown chunky cardi or camel coat?

[jelly10]

Ooh, I'm getting drawn in despite having decided I wouldn't.... How do the boots look with skirts/dresses? Are they very clumpy? I'm not keen on very cute little boots with dresses on me, but also not very heavy either iyswim. I'm thinking plain a-line skirt for example - would they work with that?? Probably not black for me - maybe the grey?

[AyeAmarok]

It's what I do with lots of my tan leather shoes as I prefer my tan to be a bit darker/deeper/oldy vintage furniture looking, rather than the lighter tans you sometimes get.

I always do the toe a tiny bit darker too.

Suppose it's a bit scary doing it on a brand new pair that you might want to return though!
