I have wanted these boots for years. These sublime things are by Vivienne. I've never doubted her style. She's a national treasure. These pirate boots have been around since 1981 and have become a consistent option to quirky British footwear. In black leather, with natural straps, they somewhat have a life of their own. As the leather is untreated, they should gradually change colour overtime. Don't you just love the rigid aspect of that. They're £350, but I've seen them been styled so well, they'd be a key source in the wardrobe. I remember, I saw Ruby Wax wearing a pair on the Jonathon Ross show a few years ago, with black leather trousers and a black polo-neck if I remember correctly. And, she looked pretty damn good. But for me, I realised I was actually having a love affair with these boots when I saw a picture of Adam Ant rocking them back in those glorious New Romantic days. I suppose that him being insanely gorgeous helped me admire his style too. But to be fair, these boots would make anyone look prominently stylish.
