7 Chelsea Boots That Rock

Photography by Shana Novak. Prop styling by Michael Cook.

Ever since the Beatles stormed our shores and whipped millions of teen girls into a screaming, panting frenzy, the Chelsea boot has defined American cool. But you don't need to reach rock god status -- or even be able to keep the beat -- to slip your feet into a pair. New versions from Burberry, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, and Dior transcend their London roots and look great dressed up or down -- with jeans or a slim suit -- on stage, on the street, or just on your walk to the office water cooler.
