Best on a Budget: Chelsea Boots

Alexa Chung's fur vest, skinny jeans and black ankle boots fashion style look
If I were a shoe, I'm pretty sure I'd be a Chelsea boot. This classic style first made popular by the Beatles is practical yet polished, with a sensible heel and elastic panels on the side for easy slip-on styling. It's in every model-off-duty and cool girl's closet (which is what I not-so-secretly wish I was) and that's why you'll spot it on the likes of Alexa Chung, Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham. Do Chelsea boots need any more endorsement than these A-list fashion icons? You can invest in a genuine leather pair that will never go out of style or try the trend with one of these picks under $100 - I guarantee you'll be hooked!
