Chunky boots:the shoes we see everywhere this winter

Just take a look on social networks, fashion bloggers or read a fashion magazine, to see silhouettes with big black boots with thick soles :the chunky boots . These shoes that we would have happily left in the punk style in the past, are now a must-have in the female wardrobe.

We see them on very feminine looks, with skirts or dresses. The trend is so strong that it is also a flagship shoe for men. Even designers make it a favorite item in their catwalks.

In short, this is THE shoe for fall/winter 2020-2021 . Here is how to wear chunky boots this year.

What are chunky boots?

These chunky boots, far from being discreet, are very easy to spot thanks to their thick sole, also known as a platform sole.

If you're a 90s kid, remember the boy bands in the Hit Machine. All the famous singers and bands of the moment were surfing on this fashion trend with big high black boots on their feet.

Why are chunky boots making a comeback this year? What is the reason for this success? The ankle boot that everyone is snapping up. Not only does it surf on the retro trend of the moment, but it breaks the codes with a couture spirit that becomes affordable to everyone, and we love that!

The notched aspect of the Ranger-style shoe gives it a rebellious spirit and gives a look of character, which we have fun twisting with trendy and feminine pieces, like a little leather skirt for example.

Second good point for the trendy winter shoe :it is comfortable and solid! These are the shoes you want to wear to dress when it rains. We can even say that it is an all-terrain shoe.

You will see that we now find all kinds of models of Chunky boots, from chunky boots to heels to the flat lace-up Chelsea boot style shoe. This wide choice of model allows you to integrate the sublime little Chunky into many clothing styles, whether you like sportswear, streetwear or the preppy girl style!

3 ways to wear chunky boots

To find out how to adopt the winter shoe trend, nothing more effective than taking a look at the fashion influencers.

The chunky boots with a skirt

This is the right way to wear platform boots. The short or mid-length skirt breaks up the imposing and masculine spirit of the shoe. This perfect feminine/masculine duo creates an inimitable, incredibly contemporary look . A-line skirt, skater skirt, leather skirt, all skirts go with your ankle boots.

On the print side, it's the same, you can choose a floral print or an animal print to have a trendy look or a denim skirt for a retro touch.

Personally, I advise you to completely break the codes by combining your chunky leather boots to a tweed skirt suit set. The rendering will be really very chic and sharp!

On the tights side, if your skirt is plain, dare the dotted print tights to add a dose of style to your look.

The chunky boots with a dress

That's it, we can finally wear our dresses with flat shoes!! Finally, it's not really new since we could already do it with wedge sneakers, derbies or any other flat shoe. But what is new is this sweet mix between rock attitude and femininity.

If you want to have everything just right, I recommend a white babydoll dress with a pair of high chunky boots .

Dare dresses with frills, short or long, romantic prints, fluid materials…. For an evening look, on the other hand, you will be sublime in a bodycon satin dress, in a blazer dress or in a belted wrap dress style dress.

Chunky boots with pants

Bootcut, flare, slim, cargo, no cut seems to escape her. All pants go with chunky-soled ankle boots.

To have the right style, make sure you have a cohesive whole. Opt for contemporary pieces. Mix an oversized blazer with short mom jeans with your chunky boots for example. In spring, wear a crop top with high-waisted 7/8 pants.

I really like riding the vintage wave by wearing a retro cut, like bootcut jeans for example and a pretty lace blouse.

Another really nice look:the total look.

  • The minimalist version:with the chunky beige boot, white pants and a cream sweater for example.
  • Or the total look black version! Black skinny jeans, black oversized sweater and chunky chelsea boots. All sublimated with an oversized blazer and you will get a very sharp chic streetwear look!
  • Don't forget the accessories to add even more style to the whole thing.

Finally, chunky boots can also be paired perfectly with shorts or jumpsuits!
