It’s time to dust off your Rust!
While we have retired Rust Bobbi Boots in Australia - after 36 restocks over three years - plenty of you still have a well-loved pair in your wardrobe.
In the three years it’s been part of our Merry Family, Rust well and truly earned its cult status. So, if you’ve got a pair waiting for a style revival, here are seven of our favourite ways to wear them - any season, for whatever reason.
A Recap on Rust
What Is Rust?
Rust is a rich, earthy shade with warm paprika undertones that make outfit building feel effortless.
Featuring a neutral sole and tonal pull tabs, Rust’s versatility has made it a merry favourite, purchased on 39 continents and restocked 36 times!
What’s The Colour Inspo?
Inspired by golden beaches, autumn landscapes and the earthy red tones of the Australian outback, Rust strikes the perfect balance between rugged and refined.
The clean lines and cool energy of Rust Bobbi Boots make them ideal for exploring country tracks, strolling coastal towns or navigating busy city streets.
7 Ways To Wear Rust Bobbi Boots
1. With Bold Brights For Fresh Air Fun
Take a walk on the fun side, with Rust! The perfect grounding shade for vibrant colours, Rust lets bold reds and vivid blue take centre stage.
We love this look as the fire-engine puffer vest and checked shirt are allowed to be the style statement, while Rust brings a warm, earthy energy to the outfit.
2. With Statement Denim for Busy Days
When your schedule is busy, Rust Bobbi Boots are born ready for high-rotation wear.
Guaranteed to cut time from your morning co-ord, pair them with another all-season staple - a trusty denim jacket - to bring ease to days out with friends, on errand runs and exploring the city.
3. With Sorbet Shades for Grey Days
When the weather is looking a little wild, Rust really elevates.
Introduce sorbet pinks and fresh minty greens for a sugar hit to beat any showers or storms.
The best bit is that the earthy richness of Rust helps balance lighter pastel shades, creating a fresh look without feeling out of step with the cooler season.
4. With Sand Toned Shorts Beachside
Rust Bobbi Boots bring the joy in warmer weather, too!
Styled with sandy-coloured shorts, a crisp white tank, lightweight knits, and natural textures, they bring a relaxed vibe to take you from coastal track to sunset cocktails.
Clean, fresh and cool, Rust is ready for sunny 24/7 fun!
5. With Earthy Greens For The Great Outdoors
We love looks that celebrate the big, earthy energy of this super versatile shade.
If your wardrobe leans more natural and neutral, Rust locks right in. From chartreuse pants to easy olive-coloured jackets, Rust really shines when worn with gorgeous greens.
6. With Layers For Laid-Back Days
When sneakers won’t suit, and you’re after an elevated ease for a day on campus, in the office or even walking the dog, the warmth of Rust elevates instantly.
Kick back in the cosy warmth of Rust with chunky knits, a lightweight trench coat and a super cute beanie.
7. With Skirts For Weekend Escapes
A checked skirt and cosy cable knit are the perfect combo for a weekend away.
From big brunches to long afternoon bushwalks and then back to the campsite for a fireside BBQ, this combo keeps you ready for anything.
