HOW TO: STYLE COMBAT BOOTS

“For combat boots that hit a bit higher, like mid-calf, I suggest styling them with a dress or skirt with a high slit, so you show a bit more leg. I love juxtaposing the tough nature of a combat boot with something a bit softer, like a lace-trim dress.”

“My favourite type of combat boots are the ones that are bit chunkier or that have a bit of platform, and these ones from Alexander Mcqueen fit the bill. For this style, I try to show a bit more leg to balance it out, whether that be wearing a shorter hemline or something tighter on top.”

“While combat boots can always be styled with skinny jeans tucked in, I like to mix it up with pants with a wider leg. I love these cargo pants from sustainable Hong Kong label The R Collective, paired with a cropped T-shirt and a hoodie or denim jacket to give a 90s edge to the look.”
