    10 Best Chelsea boots to see you through the summer.

    The weather is still quite changeable, switching from sunny skies to near-Arctic winds. Having found ourselves in the strange get-up of a scarf and open-toe slides, the dillema of what to wear during the transition from winter to summer can be very problematic. However, a practical solution comes in the form of the classic Chelsea boot.

    The Chelsea is a style mainstay, loved by models, celebs and It girls; a wardrobe must-have with serious style kudos. The style is unique in the sense that these boots are practical, will keep you warm and dry but comfortable enough to navigate the morning rush hour, while still saying you're cool, with your fingers on the fashion pulse. Great with jeans and an oversized shirt or with a miniskirt and T-shirt, plus they're super-cute with tea dress. There is a Chelsea boot for any type of girl or outfit.
