 What up fellas, it's your boy Johnny and today we're going to be talking about them good ol' Chelsea boots. So Chelsea boots have been around for a long, long time but it never really got super trendy until 2016 when it got super hot in streetwear. And during that time a lot of celebrities were rocking it. Kanye West, Jerry Lorenzo, Scott Dific, and I'm sure they had a huge role with these regular high-fives picking up Chelsea boots. But that was almost three years ago. They're still hot, not as much, but they're still pretty fire and it did merge the dapper and streetwear community a little closer. So let's get started with the design of these boots and what you should get. This all comes down to preference, there's a lot of shapes, a lot of colors, and a lot of different material. Now for me, if you're into sweetwear, I would definitely recommend sticking to the suede options because leather Chelsea boots are more for the dapper casual fellas. As far as shape is concerned, I've had a lot of Chelsea boots and personally I like the pointy air toe because it gives it more elegant shape and it fits my aesthetic better. There are other super round toe Chelsea boots that I've had in the past and it just looked off with my outfits whenever I'd rock them. Now if you guys are curious where I get my Chelsea boots from, I get it from our sponsor New Republic. Now full disclaimer, I've been rocking New Republic since before they sponsored me, okay? So don't give me shit. But I reached out to them wanting to do a collaboration because I know you guys ask me all the time where I get my Chelsea boots from. And bro, let me tell you these Chelsea boots have the perfect mix of quality and price. It really does not break the bank and I've had other Chelsea boots in the past that I've paid equal amount of money for and they were trash. They have a multitude of Chelsea boots, different colorways, different materials that will complement any outfit and they even have the common projects alternatives. I'm telling you guys, you guys gotta check them out and cop a pair. So I'm gonna leave a link in the description where you guys can cop because trust me when I say this, their Chelsea boots have the perfect mix of quality, price, and aesthetics. Don't make any commission off your guys' purchases, but if you guys do purchase from those links down below, it'll really help me out in the long run and I would appreciate the support. Next up, let's talk about how to rock it. The pants. The pants will determine whether you're gonna move more towards the streetwear lane or more towards the dapper lane. If you want to go more street, Distress Denim is your best friend. More dapper casual, solid pants. And at that point, your top will determine if you're gonna go more towards the streetwear lane or the dapper casual lane. Like with all kicks, your pants will show off the silhouette of whatever kicks you're wearing. With Chelsea boots, I definitely recommend going more towards the skinnier pants or even slim pants. Because the Chelsea boots are very form fitting, if you're gonna wear baggy pants, it's just going to drown out the silhouette and it just doesn't look as sleek with these boots. And now that you've picked out your pair of pants, you have a few ways of rocking the Chelsea boots. You can do pants over the Chelsea boots or you can do pants over the boots with the pull tabs sticking out or you can roll with cuffed pants. Now for me, I like to just switch it up every once in a while. Usually I will rock it with pants over the boots. No pull tabs sticking out. It's just an overall clean look, but sometimes I do like the pull tabs sticking out just to switch it up. If you're gonna go with the cuffed pants route, I definitely don't recommend showing any skin or your socks. You can if you want. It's just not my preference. Now for tops, like I said before, your top, your jacket will determine if you're gonna go more towards the streetwear lane or the dapper lane. For the streetwear look, just treat the Chelsea boots as if they were your normal mid or high top sneaker. Wear your typical outfit and then just replace those sneakers with these Chelsea boots. For me and my aesthetic, there's a lot of leather jackets, varsity jackets, denim jackets, flannels, stripes. Rock your typical aesthetic because almost every top and almost every jacket perfectly complements with the Chelsea boots because of how neutral and how sleek they are. I like to do this whenever I'm going out with my friends, going to a party, and especially a date with my girl. And now if you want to move towards a dapper casual lane, you can rock v-necks, Henleys, overcoats and scarves, all that good stuff in the dapper lane. I like to roll, whoa, it almost fell. I like to roll with this outfit whenever I'm going on a fancy date with my girl, like a Broadway show or something, man, because sometimes you just got to be more fancy. Now for you guys, I definitely recommend weatherproofing the suede. I personally spray some crepe protect on my Chelsea boots because whenever I step in a puddle or something, the suede's not going to get damaged because that's just what happens when water touches suede. It fucks it up. All right, fellas, I hope this video has helped you guys out.
