As the cooler months enter the chat, the hunt for the perfect pair of boots begins. Suede or leather? Over-the-knee or ankle-length? Stiletto or flat? Each season brings a fresh set of choices, but the goal remains the same: find a pair that’s equal parts stylish and practical.
This year, celebrity street style makes a case for the heeled ankle boot. Spotted on American actress and dancer Maddie Ziegler, as well as British actress and model Poppy Delevingne, these boots are set to become the ultimate cold-weather wardrobe staple.
Maddie Ziegler Spotted In Chelsea Boots
Chelsea boots have long been a wardrobe staple. Named after the affluent London borough where they peaked in popularity during the fifties and sixties, Chelsea boots are slim fitting with elastic side panels and a low heel. This season, they’re more versatile than ever.
Maddie Ziegler was seen wearing the ECCO SCULPTED Lx 55 Chelsea boots in croc-embossed burgundy leather. The sleek silhouette, comfortable block heel and easy pull-on design make the boots perfect for everyday wear, particularly in walkable cities such as Los Angeles (where Ziegler was spotted) or Sydney.
If you’re looking for a masterclass in how to style burgundy boots, this is it. Ziegler pairs hers with an all-black ensemble and the classic ECCO Tote, letting the rich, croc-embossed leather take centre stage. Equal parts effortless and elevated, the look is proof that bold footwear can be both statement-making and endlessly wearable.
Poppy Delevingne In Black Ankle Boots
Poppy Delevingne’s take on the classic ankle boot is rooted in timeless style. Featuring a modern block heel and ankle-hugging silhouette, the ECCO METROPOLE SEOUL 45 boots are a versatile wardrobe staple designed to suit any outfit.
This pair comes with serious sartorial cred, too, as they’re designed by ECCO’s creative partner Natacha Ramsay-Levi. With a design pedigree rooted in luxury fashion (the celebrated designer has held previous roles at houses such as Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Chloé), her designs blend high-end sophistication with everyday wearability.
Delvingne complements the boots with the ECCO Sail bag in rich burgundy, adding a pop of colour to her monochrome outfit. It’s a simple yet winning outfit formula to keep on rotation in your cold-weather wardrobe.
