Chelsea boots
Slip-on ankle boots
Chelsea boots are close-fitting, ankle-high boots characterized by elastic side panels that allow them to be pulled on and off without laces or zippers.
The rounded toe and low heel give them a sleek silhouette suitable for both casual and semi-formal wear.
Originally designed in the Victorian era, they became associated with 1960s British fashion and the mod subculture.
He paired his Chelsea boots with slim-cut trousers.
