Chelsea boot. Chelsea boots are close-fitting, ankle-high boots with an elastic side panel. They often have a loop or tab of fabric on the back of the boot, enabling the boot to be pulled on. The boot dates back to the Victorian era, when it was worn by both men and women. Chelsea boots and some of its variants were considered an iconic element of the 1960s in Britain, particularly the mod scene.
Other men that I have seen recently wearing these boots are David Gandy and Tom Ford. Winner of designer of the year at the CFDA Awards 2015, Tom Ford never hid his love for the 50âs and thatâs one of the inspirations for the Chelsea boot. The Beatles were also one of the guys to show that the Chelsea boot was cool.
