﻿Can You Wear Chelsea Boots With A Suit [0:00:00]
[Music] So, I got a question the other that went like
this, “Antonio, can I wear brown Chelsea boots with a three-piece navy suit? Sincerely, Dinesh.”
It’s a great question because on the surface, it seems simple. But,
when you examine it, it depends on three things. The first issue is what’s the dress code? In most
situations, there isn’t a formal dress code. But, if you’re going to a black tie event,
then that three-piece suit hopefully is a tuxedo and you need to be wearing the appropriate shoes
for that. That’s going to be a black pair of Balmoral oxfords that are well-shined.
Now, based off the question, he said that he’s wearing a navy three-piece suit. So,
I assumed that this isn’t a black tie event he’s going to. There might not even be a dress code,
although technically there’s always an unsaid dress code, otherwise you could show up nude.
Point being is it sounds like he wants to dress sharp and he’s just wondering,
does this go together? So this now takes us to the second part of the question how formal is your
outfit? In this case he said a three-piece suit. I’m going to assume it’s a solid suit. With this,
I would think that you’d wear a necktie, you’d wear a white shirt. This is going to be a dressed
event. But, this matters because it depends on the type of shoes that you want to match with it.
Chelseas in general are going to be a bit more casual. They’re not the most dressed up looking
boots, but they can be. So, we’re going to want to make sure that we choose the right Chelsea boots,
the most formal-looking Chelsea boots. If we were going with a casual suit with a window
pane pattern, you’re not even going to wear a necktie, you’re just going to wear a casual shirt,
in this case, you’ve got more options when it comes to Chelseas in the boots.
So, the third point where we’re going to spend the meat of this video is talking about the different
types of Chelsea boots and formality and what you can match and wear them with.
What you’re looking at here are pretty formal pair of Chelsea boots. They’re in oxblood,
what would be more formal though is in black or you could go with a very dark brown. Although,
dark brown is not going to be as formal as black, I do think with a navy suit,
it will look fine, even if it’s a three-piece. I also think this combination is going to
work really well especially in the fall, winter, and spring. Why? Boots in general,
the rules bend for them in inclement weather. Boots are functional, they go
up higher because they protect the ankles. So, you know, you don’t want to maybe wear
low-cut shoes if you’ve got slush, you’ve got snow out there. Chelseas, in my opinion are
the dressiest boots out there. But, this pair right here, I think would be perfectly fine
for that outfit you’re talking about. And, really quick, gents, if your wife
or girlfriend, they’re jealous of your shoe collection, do me a favor and smash that like
button to feed the algorithm. Now, these boots right here,
I feel would be pushing the envelope of being too casual. Why? They’re a lighter
brown and they’re made from a suede fabric. Notice this fabric right here has a bit of
texture? It’s going to stand out. And there’s a lot of boots out there that I think are great
and suede especially if it’s a weather-protected. Overall, the design is pretty sleek and nice.
If maybe you decide that you’re not going to wear the necktie, if you wanted to drop maybe the vest
and you wanted to wear it in a more casual manner, I think that you can make these boots work.
They would definitely be the contrasting part of the outfit. Meaning that your eyes will be
drawn to them and they would make the outfit pop. But, in a casual nature, this would work fine.
That being said, not all Chelsea boots are made the same. These are going to be more casual.
Even though it looks like they’ve got about the same fabric, same color, but, right here,
what you’ll notice is that contrasting fabric around the stitch on the sole.
These are made heavier, bigger, these are probably made to be worn with jeans. You can maybe wore
them with gray flannels and a sports jacket, but these are not made to be worn with a suit.
They’re just too heavy, they’re just too clunky. Not a bad thing especially if you want something
these have a Goodyear welt. So, they’re going to be better resistant from the weather versus these
that have a Blake stitch, which is going to be a little bit more elegant looking,
at the same time, not as weather-resistant. So, you got to understand that this is a small
difference, but it’s a big difference when you’re looking for Chelsea boots
that are going to work with the suit. Now, today’s video, gents, is brought to you

down in the description. Go check out Vitaman. These boots right here even though they’re black,
I would say are borderline when it comes to being able to wear them with a suit.
They’re just a little bit too heavy, a little bit clunky overall in the built. I think you could
still pull them off. Again, if you’re wearing this in inclement weather, it’d be perfect.
And, remember, if you’re going to wear boots like this in weather where it’s raining where it’s wet
outside, you want to make sure that you condition them that you wax them. That wax polish is going
to help protect them from the moisture. Now, what do you guys think of this pair?
Could you wear these boots right here with a three-piece navy suit? I want
to hear from you guys down in the comments. But, I am going to say, yes, you could pull
this off. It’s a little bit more fashion forward, it definitely is going to draw attention to the
boots. There’s going to be high contrast there. This is definitely going to draw attention.
But, assuming that you are okay with that, you’ve got the confidence to pull it off
and assuming that you’re not going to an event like a funeral, maybe that you don’t want to draw
any attention to yourself, I think that you could pull this off and that you would look amazing.
A gray suede like this, I would say no with the combination we talked about. Right here, this
combination right here, I just feel is too casual. They’ve also got a bit of bulky build. But, again,
you guys agree? Disagree? Let me know down below. So, what video to watch next? How about why boots
make you sexy? Seriously, guys, I’ve got the data I pointed out. And if you don’t own a pair of
boots, you will after this video right here. [0:06:49] End of audio
