Timeless Versatility: Why Blundstone Boots Are a Wardrobe Essential

Blundstone boots are one of the true enduring classics. You see them being worn by men and women everywhere, and for good reason—they look awesome and they’re incredibly versatile. You can wear them on a rocky mountain trail in the morning and out to dinner at a fancy restaurant at night.  

Blundstone has been making boots in Tasmania for over 60 years - and now we’ve got them at Outside Sports. They're a must have item for every wardrobe.

The elastic side panel is the most distinctive feature, which not only makes the boot easy to put on, but also helps create the close, comfortable Blundstone Chelsea Boot fit you know and love. Another iconic design element is the pull-tab that allows you to easily slip the boot on.  

Another defining characteristics of the Chelsea Boot is that they has always been popular with both men and women — from the Victorian era when Queen Victoria rocked a pair for horse riding, to their revival in swinging 60s London, and on to today where you’ll find them from the boardroom to the beach, and everywhere in between. 

Being so verstaile the Chelsea boot can be worn with a range of styles, but look especially good with skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans—either rolled up a little to show off the boot or tucked into the top of the boot. For a cool ‘boho’ look, flowy clothes and skirts work nicely with the Chelsea boot too. And if you’re heading to a festival you can ditch the sneakers or sandals, and go with a Chelsea boot paired with shorts. They'll keep your feet warm, dry and protected. 

With a pair of Chelsea boots you’re ready for anything. The beauty of any Blundstone Chelsea boot is that you can dress them up or down. They’re sharp enough to impress with a suit, and rugged enough for adventuring with jeans and a flannel shirt or down jacket. 

Blundstone Boots in a range of styles for women and men are available at Outside Sports - instore at Queenstown and Wanaka, and online at our website.
