When the temperature suddenly drops in London, there’s only one choice of footwear I’m interested in: boots. People in London will do their very best to prolong their time in ballet pumps and mules, but once winter is here, the truly sensible choice of shoe has to be the boot in all its forms. My love affair with a great pair of winter boots stems from the ability to dress them up or down for any occasion. (The only place you won’t find me wearing knee-high boots in December is the gym, and that’s only because this month is an exercise-free period.)
When it comes to elevated footwear, Russell & Bromley needs no introduction. Whilst you may find its stores on many high streets throughout the UK, its offering is hardly of a high-street status but rather has the quality, care and luxury detail of a designer brand. The heritage label continues to serve timeless seasonal classics year upon year, including its iconic loafers, but it also has a series of fashion-forward styles for all occasions. Party shoes and bags currently reign prominently, with an array of pink satin platforms, crystal-embellished kitten heels and rhinestone stilettos that all scream unapologetic glamour. But the shoes that go directly in my Instagram Saved folder are Russell & Bromley’s boots.
Whether it’s the brand’s Western-inspired styles or its pull-on ankle boots, there’s a pair for any activity and facet of your life. And London’s most stylish agree. Influencers Jessie Bush, Karen Williamsand Who What Wear columnist Monikh Daleare just some of the people who have been spotted stomping around the streets in their R&B shoes.
If you’re looking for some inspiration for how to wear them, look no further! I’ve pulled the best boot looks from all three women below.
