SO, WHAT IS a Chelsea boot exactly?
Well today, a Chelsea boot, which dates back to Victorian times, can be flat or heeled and come in any colour under the sun.
But in order to qualify for the title, it must feature an elastic side panel, and the super-traditional among us will expect to see a loop of fabric on the back of the boot.
To be fair, it’s not like Irish weather allows us to retire our boots entirely, but that’s not to say you don’t deserve to splash out on a new pair as we officially welcome in winter.
