These $895+ Saint Laurent Chelsea Boots are the Epitome of Luxury

Back in 2013, when Hedi Slimane introduced the Wyatt Chelsea boots with his rebrand of YSL to Saint Laurent, the luxe boots cemented the brand’s new upscale punk aesthetic. Since then, Saint Laurent’s Chelsea boots have become the quintessential luxury shoe for fashion aficionado men everywhere. With their stacked heel and seamless construction, Wyatt Chelsea boots are a subtle nod to your luxury taste for anyone that recognizes you’re wearing them. But what makes Saint Laurent’s Chelsea Boots such a grail?

Since the Wyatt Chelsea boots were released under Hedi Slimane’s direction, they’ve become a staple amongst Hollywood hotshots, super celebs, and influencers everywhere. Now you’ll find Saint Laurent Chelsea boots worn by a rolodex of high-profile individuals any given day.

A single pair of Saint Laurent Chelsea boots will set anyone back around $1,000 USD, so there’s no shying around the fact that these boots are not your everyday purchase. For most of us, spending a grand on anything requires thought, but based on how popular they are with the super rich and luxury-conscious, Saint Laurent’s Chelsea boots are worth the steep investment. 

It’d also be unbefitting of any luxury house to simply offer their most popular styles in just one or two styles. While there will always be the traditional suede and smooth calfskin designs we’ve grown to love, Saint Laurent is in the business of reinvention. With a need to give followers like Harry Styles, Lenny Kravitz, and Scott Disick what they want, Saint Laurent’s Chelsea Boots have hit the streets in luxurious skins and textures.

Currently available on the Saint Laurent site are two sleek exotic skin styles constructed in python ($2,000 USD) and ostrich skin ($4,000 USD). There’s also a series of textures, like these croc embossed boots, that are ideal for someone wanting the same look as exotic skins for a price that’s less than their mortgage payment. 

Despite their high price, Saint Laurent’s Wyatt Chelsea boots have proven themselves to be timeliness. In turn, they’re at the top of our ‘Menswear Must Haves’ list for this season and year-round. With a seamless silhouette that lends itself to be worn just about anywhere, these Chelsea boots are worth the investment.

So whether you’ve been holding your breath for a sale or just saving your money (and courage) to purchase, we say go for it. Assuming you’re in the market to spend a cool thousand on new boots, then the only thing you’ll regret about the Wyatt Chelsea boots is not getting them sooner.
