With a midi skirt
You could really style your midi skirts with so many types of shoes out there, but styling it with Chelsea boots is a great way to make your outfit look easy.
Wearing a midi skirt is a great way of looking nice and chic. The skirt is of a decent length that doesn’t show too much skin, but at the same time, allows a peak of it to show since it doesn’t reach your ankles.
Plain Chelsea boots allow you to wear printed midis as well as plain ones so it’s just a matter of preference.

Did you know that you can also wear your jumpsuit with Chelsea boots?
Jumpsuits are very easy to style especially because just like a dress, they come as one piece. So you really don’t have to think too hard about what to pair them with.
Not the most obvious or common combination but it works so well.

With an over coat
You can wear your Chelsea boots with literally any outfit and throw an over coat over it to make a statement.
When the weather turns chilly, we all need a winter coat to keep us warm, so that we can wear the chic outfits underneath despite the colder weather. Regardless of the type of coat you choose, it can take an outfit a step higher and the best part is, it does so ever so effortlessly.

With mom jeans
Mom jeans were very popular back in the 90s but have in recent years made their way back into fashion and look very trendy. Mom jeans can be paired with some Chelsea boots to give you that nice, laid-back yet edgy look.
They give you that model-off-duty look perhaps because most of the time it’s the high fashion models such as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid who are photographed wearing such.
They are a nice breather from your ordinary sneakers or normal ankle boots that are often preferred when wearing mom jeans.

With an asymmetrical dress
Adding an interesting pair of footwear such as the Chelsea boot to a dress with asymmetrical hem makes your outfit look unique. An asymmetrical dress can come in different lengths. It could be a shorter one or a longer one but it’s the uneven hemline that makes it so stylish and interesting.
This is an outfit not a lot of people would think of, but they can be quite flattering.

With a shirtdress
You could pair your shirtdress with your favorite pair of Chelsea boots in the fall months, when you want to keep the cold at bay but still want to remain stylish.
A shirt dress always looks smart especially when paired with closed shoes, and can be dressy if you reach for a pair of strappy heels instead. They are versatile wardrobe pieces that everyone should have in their closet since you can wear them with different footwear to give different types of looks.
You can pick a shirtdress with buttons all the way down or go for one that’s halfway buttoned.

With leather pants
Leather pants can be styled with Chelsea boots for that elevated everyday look. Leather pants are a great option for those who would never be comfortable in leather leggings or shorts, but would still like to rock the trend when it comes to bottoms in colder months.
It’s a combination that works for women of different ages.

If you’d like to have less focus on your pants and more of it on your boots and blouse, then a great way to go about it is to pick a statement top or blouse. The outfit will also look more demure if you choose classic colors.
With sweatpants
If you’re all for the edgy yet comfortable look then how about reaching for your pair of Chelsea boots when you want to wear sweatpants?
Sweatpants were initially meant to be loungewear but things have definitely changed overtime, as these comfortable wardrobe pieces can be styled differently and worn outdoors. In fact you can actually make them look all dressy or even edgy.
Faye (above) styled her sweatpants with a matching sweatshirt and a pair of black Chelsea boots. To make the look chicer, you can always throw on a long stylish coat in a color that goes well with your top and shoes.
With a suit
You can wear your Chelsea boots with a suit for a fun and out-of-ordinary combination.
Suits were traditionally made for men but have over the years been adopted by women, with designers and brands coming up with many different ones to flatter the female body. They are easily the best way to look sharp and as long as you find a flattering one, you can’t go wrong with the styling. You can pick from different shoes.
While a suit already gives a strong look, the Chelsea boots add that extra touch of power to the outfit.
Printed suits with Chelsea boots make for a more interesting look although you could always pick a plain suit instead.
With a midi dress
Just like a midi skirt, a midi dress is very feminine and contrary to what a number of women think, they can actually be styled with so many different things if we’re talking outerwear. They also go with a variety of footwear.
A midi dress can be paired with Chelsea boots if you want to get that amazing balance between something that’s usually considered so ladylike and something considered a great option if you want a touch of masculinity in your look.

With a short skirt
Wearing your short skirt with a pair of Chelsea boots balances out the look by adding a sense of toughness to an otherwise hot feminine outfit.
Shorter skirts can be nice and fun especially if you choose to go for brighter colors. They are a great way to show off your legs and make them look even longer.
If you prefer a sophisticated look, pick a short skirt that isn’t too tight so that you remain comfortable and still look age appropriate.

Your Chelsea boots do not always have to come in black, white or brown, but can also come in brighter colors such as mustard, and others that can be found in shoe stores. As mentioned above, if the skirt seems a bit short, feel free to add a long coat and leave it open so that the skirt is still visible.
With cargo pants
Cargo pants when styled with some Chelsea boots creates that authoritative military look that can give you an instant confidence boost and well.
Cargo pants are the ultimate casual outfit go-to if you’re after an easy look without necessarily having to wear jeans. The slouchy pants look amazing when styled with more fitted tops although you can still go on full baggy with them.
Going for pieces such as jumpers or sweaters help you look more dressed up in cargo pants but cropped or fitted tops give the pants a good balance since the pants are already slouchy.
With an oversize dress
Who said you had to wear a dress that’s an exact fit for you every day? Well, it’s become very stylish to size up on certain pieces of clothing including dresses for that extra comfort, especially during colder months.
You can go one or two sizes up on your dress and style it with Chelsea boots for a comfortable and edgy look.
