Originally popular in the 1960s, in the past few years the chelsea boot has become the thing to put on your feet according to many fashion-forward dudes.
Commonly seen in leather:
...and suede:
In my experience chelseas are incredibly divisive. Some love them, some hate them, some find them totally boring. They're definitely more feminine-looking than the average boot a man would wear, which is an instant turn-off for some people, but for me that just sort of adds to the appeal.
Personally, as a skinny dude who likes to wear skinny (but not skin-tight) pants, I think they're pretty cool. When you have super thin legs, it's hard to wear boots without them looking like clown shoes, and the slim profile of the chelsea really helps to mitigate this issue. The narrow opening at the ankle also means it's easy to tuck them into jeans/pants with small leg openings, which is a definite plus in my book.
Here's a picture of a regular guy from a fashion forum pulling them off well (IMO):
What are your thoughts, GAF? I'm interested to see what kind of reception they'll get on a gaming (AKA not fashion-focused) forum.
