subject: Chelsea Boots - A Smart Casual Must [print this page] Often you dont want to spend your free time dressed un-stylishly and with no thought to your looks. And you dont need to go over the top with fashion choices when aiming for the smart casual look. Chelsea boots are that one cornerstone in the world of footwear that never looks out of place when paired up with casual mens clothing, so long as the outfit does not involve shorts.
Ideally, when wearing jeans, you would choose a pair thats darkly coloured and straight legged to go with black leather Chelsea boots. For brown leather ones, you should choose jeans that are of a lighter blue denim. The belt that you use to hold up the jeans should be the same colour of leather as the boots that you aim to wear. Flared legged jeans are a possibility, but only if it is your intention to impersonate The Beatles.
Should you be after a look that is a little less cowboy when wearing these boots, then you could wear them with a pair of corduroys. Again, ensure that the leather of belt you wear matches the leather of the boots in terms of colour. Wear black boots with more darkly coloured corduroys and brown ones with more lightly coloured corduroys.
As for your top half, if you do not wish to ruin the level of sophistication that the boots will be bringing to your outfit, theres a possibility of opting to add a suit jacket to the outfit along with a plain tee. A casual shirt will also work instead of a tee, but you need to keep the top two collar buttons undone and avoid wearing a loose fitting tie. You could also wear a casual shirt and jumper, no tie, if the tee and jacket approach seems a little too young for you.
