A well-dressed man is rarely, if ever, caught off guard, right? That means being prepared ahead of time for style situations aplenty, and there’s no better time to start than right now — particularly as you build your fall wardrobe from the ground up with a pair of the best chukka boots.
Less formal than the best Chelsea boots (also a fall essential) and yet more classed-up than seasonally friendly high-top sneakers, the chukka boot transcends its functional origins these days in every way possible while still blending style and utility. Just witness the fact that even James Bond wears chukka boots now, and then set about finding the pair that works for you.
The best men’s chukka boots come in rich suede or deep leather, and often feature a two or three-eyelet design, all the better to rest comfortably under classic chinos, rolled selvedge denim or even wool suiting trousers (with the most luxe pairs on this list, that is). Preparation makes perfect when it comes to your fall wardrobe, so step into some new chukka boots today.
