How to Wear Chunky Boots

The past several years has seen an ever-evolving trend in boots – from knee-high, ankle, and even Western boots, and chunky ankle boots have now stepped into the arena. These chunky gumboots have an updated edge to them to make them functional, comfortable, and classically on-trend.

Our latest release, the Tully Boot, takes inspiration from the bold colours and styles of 90s-era gumboots. With our vibrant colour options, such as Sunshine and Teal, you can add a pop of colour to your favourite outfit or add a playful hint of edge with classic black.

Styling Chunky Ankle Boots

Wondering how do you wear chunky boots with dresses? Jeans? Shorts? You can never run out of fashion-forward chunky boot outfits! Let’s dive into some of our top tips on how to wear chunky boots.

Get Short With It

We all remember the iconic moment Kate Moss wore her gumboots and micro-shorts to a British summer festival eighteen years ago and the gumboots craze reignited. Now, influencers and models alike are pairing their favourite waterproof, chunky heels with miniskirts and micro-shorts to add some edge and playfulness to an otherwise revealing ensemble.

If you want a sophisticated edge, try an all-black outfit with black shorts, a black blazer, and your black Tullys. For concerts and festivals, mini dresses and shorts pair best with these bold and chunky boots.

Try A Trench Coat

You can never go wrong by embracing the functionality of your favourite statement piece. Whether you have a bold or neutral colour of our Tully boots, leaning into the playful utilitarianism is a classic fashion statement. Find your longest trench coat, throw it on over any simple outfit, add your Tullys, and you have the ultimate urban sophisticate outfit for running errands.

Bold colours pop best against black coats or compliment other bold, patterned pieces as well.

Add Edge To Your Loungewear

Dress up your favourite running errands outfit with some bright, chunky Tullys. The height of the boots and the chunky, funky designs elevate your ultra-casual wear to a casually-cool fashionista.

Go Long With Column Skirts

Break up the Parisian tradition of long column skirts with sleek, heeled boots and opt for a chunky gumboot instead! A midi or column skirt creates long, sophisticated lines for your silhouette while leaving room for you to show off your favourite kicks.

Pairing these skirts with our Tully boots subverts expectations, creating a whimsical and bold effect that makes your outfit pop!

Classically Cropped

You can never go wrong with gumboots and denim jeans. For the eye to be drawn to your show-stopping footwear, we recommend cuffing the legs of your jeans to show the boots in their entirety. Pair with a casual tee, a basic black belt, and your favourite jumper or puffer, and you have a classically cool look that will never go out of style.

Jump In With Jumpsuits

Embrace your inner child by partnering your colourful gumboots with a jumpsuit. Whether it’s a draw-string-cinched waist or a utilitarian jumpsuit with buttons and rolled-up sleeves, these boots compliment the one-and-done outfit without overpowering.

In A Nutshell

With the Tully Boots, gumboots are a fashionista’s best friend. Whether you prefer comfort with your edgy-rocker vibe or are looking for something waterproof that will compliment your style, the Tully is the versatile boot you need in your closet.
