20 Suede Chelsea Boots That'll Always Steal the Scene
At some point over, say, the last decade or so, chances are you've owned at least one pair of trusty suede Chelsea boots. For a few years straight it seemed like every young-ish dude in the country was rocking a pair (thanks, in no small part, to the influence of one Kanye West) along with some stacked skinny jeans, a bomber jacket, and a chronic soft spot for truly terrible Instagram captions.
Needless to say, the suede Chelsea boot, with its signature elastic paneling, has long since hit the mainstream. And even though it's not quite as ubiquitous as it once was, the style is never really at risk of going anywhere. Helped along by its associations with icons of rock 'n' roll both old and new, it's as classic as they come, and its staying power is a testament to the Chelsea boot's timeless good looks and an overall versatility that's still tough to beat. Wear it with skinny jeans or wide-leg chinos. A bomber or a shirt jacket. The choice is yours.
Scoop a pair in a soft, buttery suede with a crepe sole—or up the formality ante by opting for a more tapered toe and a substantial hard bottom—and remind yourself why the whole damn country fell in love with the style to begin with. And to help, we've rounded up some of the best suede Chelsea boots on the market right now.
