Things I changed my mind about, in 2023 

I will (not) wear Chelsea boots

One of the things I’ve tried often enough but never worked for me was Chelsea boots. Every time I tried them on with a pair of jeans, they just didn’t look right. That was until last year when I spotted a pair with a snake-leather pattern in the corner of a shoe store. I thought, why not give it another shot? My girlfriend frowned at me; I was wearing light brown jeans-type trousers at the moment. Surprisingly, they worked… for a change.

Not only did they work for a change, but I also began to really enjoy wearing them. These boots can be versatile, fitting into both formal and less formal attire. Obviously, the pair I got isn’t suitable for formal events, but the style of boot itself can be. Moreover, the boots improved my posture, as I was once advised by a podiatrist to opt for firmer shoes that provide support. These boots ticked all the boxes – comfortable, classy, and supportive. They went from zero to hero in my book.
