Are Chukka Boots best worn smart or casual?

Man’s Best Friend: How Chukka Boots Are the Key to Looking Great Whatever the Occasion

They say that a dog is a man’s best friend. But I beg to differ. I think that chukka boots are. Many people think that chukka boots are best worn as part of a laid-back, casual outfit, but actually, the great thing about chukka boots is that they can also be styled up into a classy, smart look.

This is testified by our Instagram poll which shows that 61% of our followers believe that they can be used both for casual and suited outfits. And who are we to argue with that?

In fact, we see it as our quest to open the doors for even more fine men to enjoy the pleasure of donning a pair of dashing chukka boots, whatever the occasion.

What are Chukka Boots?

Men’s chukka boots are identified by their smooth, ankle-high form, with open lacing and two or three pairs of eyelets. Their thin soles and low-cut uppers make them comfortable, flexible, and easy to move in – but don’t let that fool you into thinking that they only look great with jeans or on an evening out with the boys – they are also the perfect accompaniment to a smart pair of trousers or a dapper suit.

Our Italian, suave men’s ankle boots are available in leather and suede, and in the colours tan, black, oxblood, or brown suede, giving you an array of options to get your perfect look.

Chukka boots have been a man’s best friend for years, without ever going out of style, and we’re here to show you why.

How to Wear Chukka Boots

The very fact that you’re interested in chukka boots already tells us that you have immaculate taste and style, and a pair of chukkas is the final touch to your perfect look.

For a formal occasion or to look smooth in the office, choose a sleek pair of leather Hamilton chukka boots in black, tan, or oxblood to match your well-tailored suit. Their simple yet elegant silhouette tops off a stunning look that not only shows that you mean business, but also that you know exactly what you’re doing when it comes to looking good.

Give your chukka boots a good polish to make sure that they look the part and choose darker boots for more formal occasions.

If you’re heading out for a relaxed evening meal with a lady friend, or for a few drinks with the guys, a pair of chukka boots is again, an old faithful. You can rock your casual look with a jacket, jeans, and your favourite chukkas – perhaps try our brown suede chukka boots or try pairing your brown chukka boots with your favourite turned-up blue jeans for a more retro look.

Or you could choose black jeans with a blazer, simple shirt, and black chukka boots to complete your look – the perfect way to show you’re successful yet out for a good time.

All Year Round Boots

Another thing we love about men’s chukka boots is that you can wear them all year round. Many people think that chukka boots are for winter only, but they actually look just as great with a light, summer outfit as they do with your warmer winter wardrobe.
