Lily Collins reminded us why a classic pair of Chelsea boots deserves a spot in our winter shoe rotation. While walking around London recently, the Emily in Paris star wore a practical pair of Blundstones — the same durable, no-fuss style worn by Kate Middleton and Emma Watson.
With their easy pull-on tabs and elastic side panels, Chelsea boots are built for busy days and unpredictable weather. The streamlined shape works with jeans and coats to midi skirts and sweater dresses — an ideal blend of function and style.
We found Collins’ exact pair, plus more comfortable picks starting at just $30.

Blundstone 500 Leather Chelsea Boots
Zappos
This is the exact pair Collins wore in London. They’re made from sturdy, weather-resistant leather that holds up in the rain and can take a few scuffs. They have a cushioned sole for all-day comfort, and the pull tabs make them easy to slide on and head out the door. Collins wore hers with jeans and a leather jacket, but they also clean up well with tights and a dress for a night out.
Athlefit Platform Chelsea Boots
Amazon
These PEOPLE-Tested Chelsea boots are our favorite budget pick. They’re discounted for Black Friday at Amazon, and shoppers appreciate that the boots are “rainproof” as well as “lightweight, comfortable, and attractive enough for travel.” Another shopper praised the boots after walking comfortably in them for miles “right out of the box,” adding that they kept their feet “warm and dry through all kinds of awful weather.”
Mia Panola Chelsea Boots
Nordstrom
These Chelsea boots have a chunky block heel that adds height without pushing you into tip-over territory. The faux leather has a sleek, polished finish, and the round toe and ridged sole add a little edge — while keeping you steady on slick sidewalks. Wear them with straight-leg jeans and a blazer for work, or swap in a midi dress when you’re heading out to dinner.
From snowy days to weekend outings, keep reading for more Chelsea boots that even the Emily in Paris star would approve of.
