For the Gentlemen: Our Men’s Autumn Boots
Discover our top autumn boots for men in our coveted collection, designed to help you stride through the season in warmth and style.
Men’s Chelsea boots
If you’re searching for men’s autumn footwear, the Chelsea boot epitomises effortless, refined style, making it an indispensable choice for the transition from summer to autumn. Its sleek, lace-free design, characterised by the signature elasticated side panels, offers both convenience and wonderfully clean lines that pair impeccably with tailored trousers or robust denim. Crafted from the finest calf leather or supple suede and secured with our Goodyear welt for longevity and weather protection, the Chelsea boot moves seamlessly from the city office to a weekend retreat.
Men’s Derby Boots
For the gentleman who values versatility and a slightly more relaxed aesthetic, the Derby boot is a magnificent choice for the changing autumn weather and autumn footwear. Defined by its open lacing system, which is well-suited to a higher instep, the Derby boot offers an exceptional fit and a more substantial profile. It carries a charming, understated confidence, pairing perfectly with tweed for a weekend in the country or providing a robust anchor to a business-casual ensemble. The sturdy construction and reliable traction of its soles ensure that it is both practical and handsome, offering comfort and style for all-day wear throughout autumn.
Men’s Military Boots
The military or combat boot, with its origins rooted in durable, functional design, offers a robust and purposefully formidable aesthetic for the colder months. Traditionally a symbol of strength, our version elevates this utility with the finest Kudu leather and nubuck and impeccable Goodyear-welted construction, ensuring it is built to last a lifetime. The classic ankle-high, lace-up silhouette provides excellent protection and grip, making it the ideal autumnal footwear for a brisk country walk or lending a grounded, masculine edge to a refined, tailored coat in the city.

Men’s Brogue Boots
The brogue boot is arguably the most characterful in a gentleman’s collection, a nod to its rich country heritage. The distinctive decorative perforations, or ‘broguing,’ originally designed to allow water to drain away, now serve as an exquisite hallmark of craftsmanship. The handsome wingtip design and robust construction make it an ideal choice for the damp autumnal weather, offering unparalleled style whether paired with a corduroy suit or casual chinos. Selecting these autumn/winter boots in a deep, rich grain leather or a classic burgundy hue provides a luxurious, textured finish that is both traditional and wonderfully relevant for the season.

Women’s Chelsea Boots
The women’s Chelsea boot is the foundation of a sophisticated autumn wardrobe, valued for its sleek silhouette and absolute practicality. This timeless ankle boot, featuring convenient elastic side gussets, offers unparalleled ease of wear without compromising elegance. Crafted in luxurious finishes such as polished black calf leather or rich sorrel suede, these women’s autumn boots are versatile enough to anchor a tailored trouser suit for the working week or to complete a chic, relaxed weekend ensemble. The clean lines and fitted ankle ensure a flattering silhouette, upholding the quiet luxury of British design with every graceful step.
Women’s Derby boots
Offering a relaxed yet classically structured profile, the women’s Derby boot embodies versatile footwear for the autumn season. Like the men’s style, its open lacing system makes it comfortable and accommodating, while the slightly higher ankle shaft provides welcomed coverage as the weather cools. Our interpretations feature fine, supple leathers and are finished with a durable sole that is perfect for navigating the demands of the town or a casual outing. These autumn ankle boots possess a confident, non-fussy charm, making them the perfect complementary piece for a midi skirt, tailored trousers, or a pair of slim-fit jeans.
