It is officially fall and nothing says fall footwear quite like a pair of high-quality, wearable boots. Today I’m sharing a review of the Nisolo Carmen Chelsea Boots plus a handful of outfit ideas.
I have been a fan of Nisolo for years. The company is local to Nashville and I love the example they set in the fashion industry through their ethical and sustainable practices/products and their transparency through their new sustainability facts label.
Nisolo makes high-quality, classic shoes that will last in your wardrobe for years. I started shopping the brand in 2015 and have purchased quite a few pairs of shoes and they’re all still in great shape!
I’m so happy to share that you can get 20% off your first order at Nisolo with the code MICHELLETOMCZAK. The boots in today’s post were gifted, but this post is not sponsored— I decided to write it on my own. However, if you purchase through my link and use my code, I do earn a small commission. As always, I am so grateful for your support.
What are Nisolo’s Carmen Chelsea Boots made of?
Nisolo’s Carmen Chelsea Boots are made of high-quality, breathable, leather upper with memory foam insoles, interior leather lining, studded rubber soles, and ribbed, elastic side panels. They feature a slip free, durable, rubber heel cap, and a leather pull tab for ease when taking the boots on and off. Mine are in the color almond, which I find to be super versatile.
How do Nisolo’s Carmen Chelsea Boots fit?
These boots run a little bit small so I sized up 1/2 size (per the website) and I do recommend that. This ensures you have room to wear thicker socks for the fall and winter months. The boots are really wearable and comfortable!
Nisolo Carmen Chelsea Boots Outfit Ideas:
1.) Button-Down Shirt + Jeans + Boots
Shirt (old – similar, similar) | Jeans (I sized down one but wish I sized down two sizes) | Bag (gifted, backpack in coldbrew – code MICHELLE_TOMCZAK25% for 25 % off) | Boots (size up 1/2 size – code MICHELLETOMCZAK for 20% off)
In this first outfit, I love the mixture of materials. My top is linen, the jeans are cotton, and the boots are leather. These materials provide different textures within this look. This outfit combination feels effortless yet put together— a great everyday fall look.
2.) Stripe Sweater + Jeans + Carmen Chelsea Boots
Tee (gifted, tts – code MICHELLET for 20% off your first order) | Necklace (gifted) | Sweater (gifted – tts) | Jeans (tts) | Boots (gifted, carmen chelsea boots in almond, I sized up 1/2 – use code MICHELLETOMCZAK for 20% off) | Bag (old from ABLE – new version)
In this outfit I love how the stripes in the sweater pair back to the elastic in the chelsea boots, while the rest of the outfit is all light tones. This outfit combination works great for those in-between days when it’s cooler in the morning and night but warmer in the day. You can wear the sweater or remove it and put it over your shoulders as pictured.
3.) Denim Jacket + Sweater + White Jeans + Boots
Jacket (tts) | Sweater (tts) | Jeans (tts) | Short Necklace (gifted) | Long Necklace (gifted) | Bag (old from ABLE – new version) | Boots (gifted, carmen chelsea boots in almond, I sized up 1/2 – use code MICHELLETOMCZAK for 20% off)
In this third look, I love how the boots stand out against the white jeans. They tie back into the look at the top with the darker sweater, and the denim jacket adds in more interest and contrast. I really love layered looks in the fall!
4.) Feminine Blouse + Jeans + Carmen Chelsea Boots
Shirt (old from Old Navy – similar, similar) | Necklace (gifted) | Bag (gifted, envelope convertible crossbody bag in honey – code MICHELLE_TOMCZAK25% for 25% off) | Jeans (same style different wash) | Boots (gifted, carmen chelsea boots in almond, I sized up 1/2 – use code MICHELLETOMCZAK for 20% off)
If you’ve been here for awhile you’ve heard me talk about my love of feminine blouses with jeans about a million times by now— ha! This pairing creates the perfect juxtaposition and feels very “me”. I rotate footwear in this outfit combination. The boots work well and make it feel like fall.
5.) Sweater + Jeans + Chelsea Boots
Sweater (gifted, tts medium) | Sunglasses | Necklace (gifted) | Jeans (I sized down two sizes | Boots (gifted, carmen chelsea boots in almond, I sized up 1/2 – use code MICHELLETOMCZAK for 20% off)
For this last outfit I added a pop of color with a sweater for a more bold look. The pairing of the jeans and boots keeps the outfit casual. This is a classic fall outfit combo that works for any day of the week!
