Everyone on Instagram Keeps Asking Me Where These Boots Are From
A big part of my job at Who What Wear is to try and judge which fashion items our lovely readers (yes, that's you) are going to want to buy—particularly when I'm putting together one of my Joy of Shopping features. However, what's often tricky about these excursions is finding a single pair of shoes that works for multiple outfits.
Case in point: For one of my recent pieces about the parent brands of the high street, I decided to wear a pair of chunky lace-up boots that the brand Ash kindly gifted me with. What I wasn't expecting, however, was the deluge of questions that hit my inbox the moment the pics were posted on Who What Wear's Instagram Stories. Everyone was desperate to know where my boots were from.
So I thought I'd give the people what they want. In summary, these boots make every single outfit look a 100 times cooler, whether it's a tweed skirt suit, floaty dress, or minimalist camel coat. They're also super comfy and so resilient. I've worn them both on the streets of London and in the muddy forests of Kent. Anyway, enough from me. If you want to bag a pair, I've put a link to them below alongside a few similar styles. Trust me. You won't regret it.
Style Notes: I never thought I'd like a tweed suit, but when paired with a Breton top and Ash's lace-up boots, it's transported into cool-Parisian-girl territory.
Style Notes: Hobbs's classic camel coat is kicked into 2019 with a leopard-print top and Ash's chunky boots.
Style Notes: Ash's boots are a dream to wear with a floaty dress, as they instantly offer an edge.
