So you’ve decided to buy a new pair of boots. Maybe you’re expanding your shoe collection, or maybe this will be your first pair of boots. This video will help you pick the right color. It's brought to you in partnership with Thursday Boot Company.
Shop Thursday Boots - geni.us/J7xjVf (Amazon)
Of course, you’ll need to pick the right type of boot. If you’re not sure about white type of boot is the best choice for you, check out my video about the three best types of boots for men (link below).
No matter which type of boot you settle on, you’ll need to choose a color. While there are many different colors of boots, the two most common are black and brown. Both are excellent choices for almost anyone, including guys who are buying their first pair of boots. In fact, many men have both colors in their collection.
But if you could only choose one, which is the best color for you? In my opinion, there is no universal “best” choice. It all comes down to your personal preferences and situation.

Brown ages very well, black really doesn't show much age. Overall dark brown is a much more versatile boot.

Brown is more versatile and in most cases, does age nicely but not universally. Some black boots, particularly combat style lace up boots, rough leathers or dark charcoal gray often look much better with a little patina.

if you’re really on a tight budget here, i suggest a dark brown boot would be best, as it works pretty well with most color pallets and does gain a patina in time

@@lulolee5325 ….agreed. If only one color, then black is it. Best is to have one black and one brown. My executive dress shoes from Thursday one black and one brown. Wingtip zip boots from J&M (really nice boots. One of their higher end lines.) one black and one brown. Chelsea boots from Thursday are one black and one grey. Chukkas from Thursday are one black and one brown. Next pair on the list is brown cavalier Chelsea from Thursday. Shoes are my one indulgence. As a general contractor I wear flannel shorts, work pants, and merrel hiking shoes every day of my life….so nice boots outside of work gives me a little personal joy in life. Sometimes others notice them, but I just do it for myself.

I've actually just started changing up my own personal "style" (not sure if I'm comfortable calling it that yet) and black boots definitely fit my colour choices better. I'm kinda going for more of a biker-esque leather jackets, black t shirts, black jeans kinda thing, so the boots I've just ordered fit that well.

Excited to hear you getting more interested in streetwear though, Brock. My fashion style evolved from streetwear (turned out to be too hype / logo oriented for my taste) to full prep (which turned out to be a bit too formal for my environment) and now I've been trying to tastefully mix a hybrid of the two styles. So my go to tops mainly consists of button downs but I've been looking for more casual, more streetwear style button downs that don't look as dressy. Also shoes like white basic sneakers definitely help to keep the fit clean while also not being as preppy as something like boat shoes. I'd definitely recommend checking out the Scandinavian minimalism style. I think you'd like the style, Brock.

Also, this video was super helpful: I love the brown boots but realized that black would actually better suit my wardrobe due to the preponderance of greys and blues I own (good advice).

Only now finding this one, great video! I think both colors ought to be in any man´s shoe collection. Something I tend to avoid is the very white stitching on dark shoes though. So actually those black boots shown here at 1:03 are precisely ones I´d not buy because of that (at least right now, taste evolves as you very wisely indicate.) The brown ones also have rather too white/bright stitching for the sole. Don´t get me wrong: both pairs are fine, but regardless of brand and model, if I was looking for black boots, I´d choose black stitching all over, nothing like those with white stitching. And if brown dress/work boots, also with more uniform and matching brown stitching overall

@johncgr800 Жыл бұрын

Good point about the white stitching on the otherwise very sleek looking black Chelsea Boots. I don’t understand why Thursday Boot Co. would do that. Maybe to give it a more casual look?

Sounds about right brown is more if the rugged look vs black boots you can wear them more of dressy style white colour shirt with a vest black or dark gray blue pants. Vs Brown boots jeans t shirt or hoody sweat jacket style. I own both and what you said is pretty much how I wear them to. I wear the brown boots more than my black leather shoes I feel those are more dressy shoes and I don't want to hear them up if I do have to dress up those are ready to go. My brown boots are for working in I do put neutral clear shoe polish on them to bring out the shine.
