The pub is a place where many a memory is made, where friends come together to discuss new life events and (often) to fawn over an excellent outfit choice made by certain parties involved.
Personally, I love what we would call the classic British pub and all that frequent it because it provides the perfect setting for that casual wind-down, debrief or meet up. And while we were blessed with an Indian summer, the recent autumnal change in season means that those pub-garden drinks will have to come indoors again (begrudgingly for some) and a little more coverage in the toe department is a must.
Anne keeps it sleek and sophisticated in a tonal grey with black leather accessories to tie it all together.
It may seem a little early to visualise for some but I am already looking forward to finding a cosy little pub with some sort of Chesterfield sofa next to a roaring fire and an equally roaring landlady serving excellent one-liners and drinks. I want to put my feet (or my fancy footwear) up and relax in the comforting and reassuring surroundings and I want to watch other customers come and go and wonder what their day-to-day lives entail. I want to admire their footwear whilst a dog is curled up by their feet and I want to pay a normal price for a pint.
The assortment of clientele who walk through the doors of the average pub varies so much that very little is deemed “inappropriate” but as the nights draw in, I’m here to help you make some excellent footwear choices for future outings with friends, family, partners and dogs. Be it comfortable trainers, a sleek boot pre-dinner reservation or the shoe of the season, the Mary-Jane. Keep reading for my shopping edit for this Autumn.
The Best Shoes to Wear to the Pub:
Style Notes: A crisp green cotton coat and a raw edge jean are perfectly punctuated with Kaitlin’s sleek black boots. These are perfect for when visiting a slightly fancier pub or if you just fancy looking a little more polished.
I imagine these coming out underneath a pair of cream wide-legs for a sleek and understated look.
You can pretend you’ve just come from your horse in the countryside in these riding boots from Gucci, complete with embellishment on the heel.
These look so soft and supple and would look great with a skirt (mini or even knee length) and tights.
Smart, streamline and classic. I love the slightly squared toe of these Arket boots.
Chic and with the interesting extended elastic detail, these H&M boots are a chelsea/cowboy/cuban heel hybrid!
Style Notes: I love the proportions at play with Marie’s loose silk skirt and knee-high chunky boots. The juxtaposed soft and hard textures work perfectly. Chunky boots are an especially good pub footwear option if you are walking to your watering hole.
Make like Marie above and style these with a loose skirt with lots of movement for a playful twist.
I love that these boots have a smooth sole, no heavy treads and a deep elasticated ankle panel!
Simple and perfect for hanging out in your local pub in comfort.
A cropped cream jean with these would look superb!
Excellently proportioned sole-to-heel ratio with these Mango chunky boots. They also look very comfortable.
Style Notes: Surely trainers need to explanation? But just in case, a sneakers works perfectly for the pub thanks to their comfort levels, but also because they make any casual outfit look so much cooler.
I love a vivid green with a washed indigo denim jean so try these Gazelles for size.
A slightly cropped trouser or jean or a pleated midi skirt always looks great with a retro running trainer like these from New Balance.
I’d love to wear these with some raw edge jeans.
A style much loved in my younger years, the Reebok trainer would look great coming out underneath a loose and slouchy trouser.
I was always a fan of the hi-top Blazer style from Nike so I’m keen to try their lower style. Bold and graphic, would look great with a tonal grey look.
Style Notes: Not ready for boots and not into trainers? Here is where flats come in. Pair yours with jeans or a dress for a Parisian take on pub-wear.
These, a pair of ankle-grazing jeans and some good knitwear. All that’s needed.
How cute are these Mary Jane’s from Zara with leopard print? I picture these with an indigo jean and chunky jumper.
The classic loafer. You can’t beat it. Complete the look with soft tailoring and knitwear for a classic, throw-together look.
These would look killer with a loose or A-line skirt for a clean and modern shoe to punctuate the look.
Kick it up a notch and style these with jeans or pale trousers for a whimsical look.
Style Notes: I’m a huge fan of a mule for all and every occasion, but there’s something particularly perfect about wearing them with cosy socks, wide-leg jeans and a chunky knit by a pub fire.
The absolute classic. I don’t think there’s much that I really need to say.
Socks or bare, these cosy statement mules speak volumes.
Clean lines and a block sole make these Vagabond mules so sleek in their design. With a wide trousers, these would look great!
Simple and extremely comfy looking. Studio Nicholson excels at classic and long lasting pieces.
Thick ribbed socks would look great tucked into these mules from Charles & Keith.
