When the occasion calls for shoes that are a step-up from casual trainers but more informal than polished leather pairs,
Chelsea boots are your answer. A master of modern menswear,
Dries Van Noten has this version crafted in Italy from supple suede with a contrasting crepe cole. A curved panel wrapped around the heel provides a subtle shape change for the classic elasticated sides.
