What types of men's boots are there?
Men's boots come in many shapes. The most common are:
- Ankle boots and booties: end just above the ankle and work with many outfits.
- Lace-up boots: with laces for a secure fit, often cut a little higher.
- Lined boots: warmly lined for the cold season.
- Waterproof winter boots: keep the wet out and suit snow and rain.
Other well-known boot styles include Chelsea boots with an elastic side panel and biker boots with a bold look.
Which men's boots are on trend right now?
Right now, plain ankle boots in black or brown are the most modern, and they're easy to combine. Lace-up boots with a chunky sole are popular too and suit a casual look. If you want something bolder, go for boots with a heavier sole. For the cold season, lined and waterproof winter boots are both practical and on trend. What matters is that the boots suit your own style and fit comfortably.
How do I style boots as a man?
Boots can be styled both casually and smartly. With jeans and a jumper you get a relaxed everyday look. With chinos and a shirt they look smarter, for example in a business context. In winter, boots go well with a warm jacket. In terms of colour, black and brown boots are especially versatile, because they go with almost anything.
Which trousers go with men's boots?
Most trouser shapes go with boots. Straight or slim-cut jeans can simply be worn over the shaft or tucked in slightly. Chinos work well with ankle boots. With other trousers the hem is best kept just above the shoe, so the boots stay visible. What matters is that trouser length and shaft height suit each other.
Which boots are suitable for winter?
In winter, lined and waterproof boots are the best choice. Warm lining keeps your feet warm in the cold, while a waterproof construction keeps out moisture from snow and rain. A sole with a good tread also provides grip on slippery ground. If you're outdoors a lot, look for both: warmth and protection from moisture.
