Men's combat, chelsea and texans boots FW 2020/21.
The three cult models of ankle boots that you will wear this autumn winter 2020 2021.
In addition to knee-high boots (biker style, as seen in the fashion show by Salvatore Ferragamo), the fall winter 2020 2021 collection brings attention back to ankle boots, that model that ends up to the ankle.
An ecumenical choice that certainly helps in the matching, a real wild card of the winter season. The options are many, all of them standing around three iconic models: the Texans for a country touch even in the city, the combat boots stolen from a military history and the flawless chelsea.
The goal is to break the rigor, focusing on the contrasting shapes, styles and materials. At Dior, Kim Jones makes even an entire business look gritty by opting for a pair of two-tone boots with ankle strap. The same philosophy is embraced/acquired by Hermès which goes for a pair of massive boots combined with minimal trousers. Givenchy revisits the classic Texans: for fall winter 2020 201 they present a square toe, side buckles and a caramel-colored upper. The look is finalized with apparently classic trousers: the woven fabric is in contrast with the amethyst-colored side band.
Dealing with casual looks, combat boots are recognized as the most popular ones: shiny leather and sturdy sole, the models are all equipped with laces that allow you to play even with knots. Worn with soft and sporty trousers but also with a tailored suit, the rebellious spirit proper of the 70s subcultures is here enclosed. A chapter in itself for chelsea boots: the model was created by Queen Victoria's shoemaker but enhanced in the 60s with the Beatles. The shoe has no laces: they slip on comfortably, thanks to two elastics. These ankle boots require a dry outfit, which winks at the Paul McCartney style.
