- 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.

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.
Rusty Shackleford
Exactly if they are good quality.
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.
Agree 👍👍
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
Brown doesn't go with black jackets, black coats.. Black shoes are more versatile.
@@lulolee5325 yes, they go with whetever you want to wear It deepens on uiur style.
@@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.
If I could only choose one, I'd go with brown leather boots
I love how everything you wear is linked in the description. Thank you!
Excellent. You have distilled this topic down very well. Grey t-shirt and olive jacket nice combo.
ive been trying to find my personal style for 20 years lol
Thank god I'm not alone.
Good thing the military is there to tell you what to wear...same for me
Don't , it will make you "wardrobe lazy"....but that is only my opinion
edited 👎
It’s 16 for me....and yes I’m 16
I'd like to own both, but *black* would be best for my wardrobe.
My closet is very minimalistic at the moment. All black, white, grey, denim.
Want some gray boots also (like those suede ones you have).
Very down to earth, I enjoy watching your material brock! keep it coming.
I honestly would choose the same boots that you picked on that video of the 3 best type of boots. They fit my wardrobe perfectly. But my number one choice would be the brown workboots.
Love your videos my man. I am always inspired by your style!!! more videos pls 🙏🏻
The inspiration albums are a nice touch. Thanks!
Nice video! Just bought a pair of dark brown chukas and wear them all the time now.
I generally think of brown leather as more casual and black as more formal, so I would typically go brown for boots before thinking about specific colors of pants.
Same
Loving your stuff all the way from Australia Brock! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks for watching!
My friend last weekend I bought my first pair, thankfully i made the right choice and went for black, excellent video 👍
Solid vid with sweet style inspo. Absolutely right, as the time passes our style should evolve with us. Interested to see how you'll style those black chelseas.
Whoa. I wasn’t expecting much from this video besides pandering but you brought up some insightful points and put a lot of work and care into this. Respect. Subscribed.
Most of my wardrobe consists of cool colors (lots of blue, grey, white, etc as opposed to warm colors like earth tones). Been meaning to get darkish grey suede Chelsea's as they seem to fit more with my color palette.
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.
Great practical advice and no-nonsense explanation.
Great information Brock👍🏻
I have all of those boots you showcased. Thursday Boots are great boots 🆒
👊🏻
:)
Nice video. Was thinking the same. Brown or black for a boot. And brown is the color to go. Black is really elegant. For formal events black and for daily casual use brown.
Love cognac shoes. Merry Christmas, Man
Great video, own both colours, and a few others lol.
again, a really nice video!!
Thanks for the info, very helpful
Hey Brock, I like this hair style better than the one you have now, this one makes you look younger!
Thanks bro, you have humility, congratulations i appreciate that,..and this video helped me.
I enjoy wearing both colours and I alternate that seasonally. Like brown in summer and black in winter.
Great video for a beginner looking to buy his first pair of boots!
I bought grey ones as my first pair. As I consider it a non color and was moving from a street style to a buttoned up.
Great video as always ✌
Great vid. I think I made the mistake with my shoes selection by watching a lot of other videos and vlogs from other RUclipsrs. Boots usually give you a little more room to play because they also have a purpose during winter.
When I lived in the city I loved black boots.
Now that I'm a country boy again, it's all about dark denim and english tan brogue boots ! Can't forget the striped socks of course !
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.
Great channel. I love your collection of Peter manning
Iam 44 now and every thing has changed. I have always been a cowboy but now my health will not let me ride any more. So I have decided to go to a peaky blinders style. Black boots fit me more and I think they can go with about anything. Great video thanks.
Another great video! I find your videos are consistently high quality and they're done very well. The editing is nice and simple and doesn't always have a list format.
Thank you! I'm trying to keep it straightforward, no hype and easy to watch.
Thank you very much for saying in detail🙂🙂🙂
Great video I’ve been trying to choose whether to go with black or brown and I guess black fits my style way more.
Clicked on the video because those black Chelsea boots are stunning
Appreciate your channel. You present in a very helpful way and feel like you are practical and really trying to help the community. Thanks for what you do. Thus far I have made a few picks based on your advice and they have become frequently worn upgrades.
I appreciate that!
Why not have both? My first boots were Black Suede Chelsea and I added a pair of brown Chakka boot earlier this year followed by a Black Gucci ankle boots last week for special days. It is good to have options, variety and gives your boots some well deserved rest!
Thanks for the videos and indeed life would be boring if we were to wear the same/similar things everyday.
Great video!
Super pleased with this video. I was very curious if you could address the dilemma of choosing between fashion items like this and you did!! When you said the words "style journey" it felt like you addressing a comment I made directly. Love it. 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).
such an underrated channel. You deserve more subs. Great vid, keep up the good work!!
I like black, maybe I'm just younger so I like that edgier look, I do wear a lot of black like black jeans and black jackets too hah
Trevor Sebastian Black leather is the way to go! It goes well with anything. It is versatile, cool, bad ass, manly, edgy and hot as well. I'm a black leather cladded dude all the way.
Personally, I think ALL dudes should wear black leather and make shit color leather extinct. They represent real bad fashion sense in a dude.
I have no idea what you guys mean when you say “edgy”.
I own both but i tend to wear my black boots more often, it just suits my casual style better. Brown for me is more reserved to dressing up a bit, a date, interview, etc.
I wear both black & brown chelsea boots, interchangeably. My style in the fall is a mix of rugged and being preppy.
I love the music of the intro !
Copped a pair of brown scout boots from Thursday Boot company but found that they run a little too big. Go 1 and a half size smaller than normally.
I go with a pair of brown chelsea boots with a pair of lightwash jeans usually. Looks okay
You made this incredibly easy. Black chelsea boots it is!
What do you think about their chunkier build due to the good year welt? For example, their chelsea boots are probably not slick enough to be worn with a suit.
very helpful video, due to a job promotion i got i have to update my wardrobe and the color of the shoes/boots was an issues i had a problem with. thanks
Congrats on the promotion!
This is sooo good! Do you have any pictures wearing the black Thursday Chelseas? I'd like to get the exact one for work. Thanks!
This was a nice video. I do think more can be done with brown boots but ironically I only have black. Cool presentation.
Both appeal to me. However, I would like to know if a pair of side zip pair of boots (Chelsea boot height) in my collection are still in style? Or should I retire them? Please get back to me with your opinion. Thanks.
Love me some brown boots. They just age so nicely and look so good.... but then.... I always buy black. I just can’t get over black boots.
I have seen so many videos on shoes, boots, jackets, etc. but one thing that i haven't really seen anyone address is socks. Is there any advice on what socks to pair with the different styles of footwear? Thanks is advance.
Great video sir!
Thanks, Nolan!
You gotta have both!
awesome video - what type of sweater are you wearing at 4:05 ? where could i get one like that?
Great insights...
I am so conflicted, I love my Navy and black bottoms but love my pastel/white tops. Probably will go for black as it works slightly more often.
Didn’t think I would hear the word “rake” would ever be used outside of Tanners channel.
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
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?
Well said.
brown Corcoran jump boots are the best footwear I've ever own !
Do you recommend reddish brown or dark brown like Thursday boots grizzle wheat?
dark brown seems like a good solid choice
I'm a gal and find this helpful! Thank you!
I've gone through two black leather pairs of Timberland cap toe lace up leather boots and the black chipped right off on the toe and the heel after a year, so there's basically brown spots all over them. Is this something that happens with all black leather boots or is it an issue with Timberland painting rather than tanning their leather black?
IMO black is more versitle however have a pair of both..... Personally I love black Chelsea boots such as blundstone or RM Williams and Thursday Captains in brown, all situations covered👌
What about width sizing? With my New Balance athletic shoes or my more Dress shoes, I order 2E with ((and the Thursday boots only come with a D medium width. Do I need to order a size larger? Or do I need to find boots from a different manufacturer.
I really like several of the boots available from Thursday ... but not sure they will work out?? I suppose they would take a "return" if sent back right away...or maybe not?
Any suggestions? Thank you, Ron.
I came from the school and asked myself (yes I do that a lot)
"I need a boots, but what color? Well I guess that the internet has the answer."
And here I am...
Black can go with everything, whereas brown don't go with black jacket or pants, a no brainer, black
Black on my goth days, brown on pretty much every other!
drewski5150 Goth days should happen to you more often.
Brown and black matches with anything. I would say its more of your own preference in this video but great inputs btw.
Is brown casual motorcycle combat boots, black jeans and a Navy blue top( button up shirt, Crew neck shirt, sweater etc.) Or a lighter shade of it A good combo?
Any suggestions? Im a white t and blue jeans kinda guy. I mostly like navy and blues for layers. And when layering i just throw on an untucked button down or sweater. I like cardigans over white t and im getting a blue/navy peacoat that i will most likely be wearing most out of my coats. But i definitely like the minimalistic vibe. Not too keen on black skinny jeans yet tho
Great video
Thank you, sir!
Hey Brock, what other brands would you recommend for black Chelsea boots besides Thursday Boot Co? I'm thinking of Allen Edmonds Liverpools. Any suggestions? Thanks:)
What if you use a combination of earth colors and monochromatic colors? I already have a black cap toe boot. Considering a distressed cognac boot. But that boot is available in black as well
Best video ever
If you're a beginner go with suede. Any color in suede will look good. It's also more casual than leather so you can pretty much rock it like you would with sneakers.
i wear same thing everyday. a t-shirt that says "fart loading" with a progress bar, and some cut off jeans shorts that go about to mid calf, and of course sandals with socks. i am thinking about changing it up a bit. my gf likes my style, but says i should own ore than 1 outfit. so any tips?
Prefer black because they're so easy to match, you don't have to take the shoes when shopping for belt, briefcase, watch straps or gloves
One must have both. I like the dark browns better but black is a statement
Personally I’ve only ever been able to rock black properly with my monochromatic looks. Brown is ultra versatile. I recommend a light brown suede
Hi Broc, could you please share you MTM measurements on your suits? I have a similar build to yours. Thank you.
Lots of wisdom here in this video.
Got three different colours - Brown, Tan, and Black :-)
Brown tones(dark, tane, mid brown) are more versatile for sure but some in black can rock . Example chelsea boots in brown its obwious choice but try them in black with dark jeans , so good look. Of course we all known that black is more formal but in some casual situation work way better than brown . But wit proper shoes(loafer, chelsea) and denim(darker wash)
BOTH spice it up and make different dapper outfits. Don’t limit yourself
We agree :)
Sir, what color of boots should I get? It will be my first pair of boots and I’m really undecided wether I should get natural or brown. I hope you can help me out. Thank you.
Both ❤
Monochromatic look book 2018
🔥🔥🔥
Yeah it's pretty sweet.
Make this happen man!
I'd go with brown boots. They are very versatile and can go well with almost anything (compared to black boots). But I would also throw in a pair of burgundy/oxblood boots - just for a fun twist.
Just waiting to be able to afford them.
Hi Brock, which ismore versatile, cap toe boots or plain toe boots? Based on your boots collection, it seems plain toe are more versatile?
BOTH ❤😊
I just got the captain in brandy, but now I am eyeing either president in brown or AE higgins mill in chrome because these presidents are kinda light for casual wear IMO
