The desert boot is a very important part of a man’s wardrobe. It is a fashion essential that you simply can’t afford to ignore. Think of it as one of the hard hitters in your wardrobe. Popularly called ‘Chukka Boots’, desert boots are a great way to get a better understanding of the effectiveness of versatile footwear. Wear them with a suit, it takes that formal edge off them. Swap them over trainer shoes with denim jeans, they give your attire that mature look which men all over the world are trying hard to master. There are plenty of ways to rock desert boots.

There are two basic types of desert boots. On the one hand, you have desert boots made of suede and then there are the boots made from leather. Suede desert boots are the most common type. They come in a variety of colours and shades. This means you get variety with them like you would with sports shoes and trainers. All of this while you get that coveted mature look with your casual and smart casual attire. The neutral shades of suede desert boots make it very easy to team them with most outfits.

Leather desert boots are way more intriguing than suede boots. They are a great alternative to the suede boots, especially if you enjoy the sophistication of leather footwear. Leather boots are more durable and are significantly easier to maintain than suede shoes. Paired with a suit they emulate formality but can still be teamed with jeans for a casual day out. The versatility of desert boots can be truly realized when you wear them in leather.
