Whilst boots are less likely to fall in and out of favour quite at the same speed as trainers, they’re certainly not immune to a seasonal shift in mood. And although I won’t be retiring my classic black boots anytime soon, I can’t help but notice that a new silhouette is gearing up to be one of the season’s most impactful buys. Lately, the chicest dressers I follow are all completing their jeans outfits with chisel-toe boots.
Sitting between pointed-toe and square-toe styles, the chisel-toe design mimics the slim, angular edge of the tool it’s named after, creating a narrow, sculptural square that looks impossibly chic when translated into a boot.
The best of both worlds, the design is elongated enough to bring a certain sharpness into an outfit. Meanwhile, the square-toe finish imparts a chic edge.
That angular nature makes chisel-toe boots a particularly striking partner for jeans, lending a considered polish that feels fresh without complicating things.
Having already spotted them on some of the chicest Parisians, Londoners and New Yorkers, I have no doubt this emerging boots trend is about to make serious waves. And if, like me, you’re looking to invest in a piece that feels current yet timeless enough to wear for years to come, this is one worth paying attention to.
