Fashion conscious women must surely know that in the last few years wellies have been the footwear of choice for women of all ages who want to look cool and hip while also wearing shoes that are immensely comfortable and keep their feet protected from the elements. Wellies have long been popular with the British and they have been around for so long and seen the country through so much that they are now one of the symbols of Britain. They are synonymous with everything that suggests British country living.
What started out as a working boot in the mid eighteenth century by a Duke from whose title the name of these famous boots are taken was instantly a hit with fashionable people. Though black wellies were standard shoes to the army during the first world war, as soon as the wars ended they were pressed into action on the home front. They were used by everyone who had to spend time in the mud, from farmers to the landed gentry who wanted to keep their feet dry when they got out of their Range Rovers on picnics to the country side.
A few years ago after the trend of huge music festivals in the country side like the Glastonbury music festival started, wellies caught on like never before. Many celebrities were spotted wearing them both for their stylishness and their immense practicality. Black wellies were soon the colour to have after many celebs were spotted wearing theirs in this colour. People realised that even though these shoes were now available in literally every colour under the sun, the colour to have was black because that made them the most versatile. You could pair them with literally any outfit and not have it clash with the colour palette. They also wore well and tended to look much less dirtier after a few days of not being washed and being used to trudge through mud and slush in the country side.
If you are looking to buy yourself a pair of wellies this summer black is the colour to go for because although colourful wellies may be hot at the moment black is always in and is always stylish. Trends change and other colours come and go in trendiness but black is timeless. So get yourself the finest pair that you can in the colour that always goes well with everything.
