DETAILS TRENDS

Originally favoured by infantrymen and fictional

monsters, it’s all about big black boots for AW19.

And the clompier they are, the better

There are certain items of which no self-respecting

man’s wardrobe should be bereft: a navy blue suit

being one, a perfectly cut taupe trench coat being

another. One more item that every man should own

is a pair of heavy-duty black boots – and it’s a point

that the world’s menswear designers agree on

for AW19. From the commando boots with built-in

spats shown at Dior to the hardcore paratrooper

styles at British label Church’s, this season it’s all

about getting your feet ready for the trenches

(even if you only plan on jumping in puddles).
