- 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.
I love how everything you wear is linked in the description. Thank you!
If I could only choose one, I'd go with brown leather boots
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).
Excellent. You have distilled this topic down very well. Grey t-shirt and olive jacket nice combo.
Very down to earth, I enjoy watching your material brock! keep it coming.
The inspiration albums are a nice touch. Thanks!
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.
Great practical advice and no-nonsense explanation.
Which do you prefer: black boots or brown boots? Leave a comment below!
Out of those 2 options, brown, but I prefer Blues and Grays for my shoes over either black or brown.
Black boots, Just a more manly, masculine look...
Ik don't wear black chelsea boots. I have a pair. Thought it was a need to have but feel like a grave digger when wearing them. . Brown, blue, grey, burgundy are colours I like to wear.
I wear black Doc Martens and brown wingtip boots usually
The Modest Man brown
Thanks for the info, very helpful
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.
My friend last weekend I bought my first pair, thankfully i made the right choice and went for black, excellent video 👍
Love your videos my man. I am always inspired by your style!!! more videos pls 🙏🏻
Great video for a beginner looking to buy his first pair of boots!
Nice video! Just bought a pair of dark brown chukas and wear them all the time now.
Love cognac shoes. Merry Christmas, Man
again, a really nice video!!
Hey Brock, I like this hair style better than the one you have now, this one makes you look younger!
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.
Loving your stuff all the way from Australia Brock! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks for watching!
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
Great vid. I think I made the mistake with my shoes selection by watching a lot of other videos and vlogs from other TH-camrs. Boots usually give you a little more room to play because they also have a purpose during winter.
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.
Great video!
Thanks bro, you have humility, congratulations i appreciate that,..and this video helped me.
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.
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.
I enjoy wearing both colours and I alternate that seasonally. Like brown in summer and black in winter.
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 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!
such an underrated channel. You deserve more subs. Great vid, keep up the good work!!
Great video, own both colours, and a few others lol.
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
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.
Thank you very much for saying in detail🙂🙂🙂
I love the music of the intro !
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.
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 channel. I love your collection of Peter manning
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).
Great information Brock👍🏻
I have all of those boots you showcased. Thursday Boots are great boots 🆒
👊🏻
:)
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.
You made this incredibly easy. Black chelsea boots it is!
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 wear both black & brown chelsea boots, interchangeably. My style in the fall is a mix of rugged and being preppy.
Well said.
Great insights...
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.
Great video sir!
Thanks, Nolan!
brown Corcoran jump boots are the best footwear I've ever own !
You gotta have both!
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”.
Brown and black matches with anything. I would say its more of your own preference in this video but great inputs btw.
One must have both. I like the dark browns better but black is a statement
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!
I go with a pair of brown chelsea boots with a pair of lightwash jeans usually. Looks okay
Didn’t think I would hear the word “rake” would ever be used outside of Tanners channel.
I'm a gal and find this helpful! Thank you!
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.
Lots of wisdom here in this video.
This was a nice video. I do think more can be done with brown boots but ironically I only have black. Cool presentation.
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?
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.
Black for formal, brown for casual.
dark brown seems like a good solid choice
Black on my goth days, brown on pretty much every other!
drewski5150 Goth days should happen to you more often.
Great video
Thank you, sir!
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
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👌
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.
Best video ever
BOTH spice it up and make different dapper outfits. Don’t limit yourself
We agree :)
Which brand should I get for my first pair of boots?
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!
Got three different colours - Brown, Tan, and Black :-)
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.
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.
What jacket are you wearing? It looks great!
I would think buy what you need now and get the other later. Not having both is a limit on what you can wear.
Great advice - I was curious, where did that shoe rack come from?
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 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.
Why not a two tone black and brown boot?
Btw great video, lots of.good points
😁🤓😀
awesome video - what type of sweater are you wearing at 4:05 ? where could i get one like that?
I have a black feline-buckle guccibelt so I think my best choice is to pair them with black chelsea boots, a nice black leatherjacket and some darkwashed jeans. I think the black one's are more badass and should only go with other black leather clothing. I think I'll buy some cognac monk-straps as my brown dressy shoes. Then, if I like them I'll get some brown boots too.
You can see more details in a brown boot plus there are more shades in brown.
Both ❤
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
Do you recommend reddish brown or dark brown like Thursday boots grizzle wheat?
Brown boots with all leather soles are the most beautiful in my opinion , but do not overly shine(sorry Donstar) because it will look silly unless they are Chelsea boots which of course look great with a shine....Great Video
BOTH ❤😊
Just waiting to be able to afford them.
Sounds about right brown is more if the rugged look vs black boots you can wear them more of dressy style white colour shirt with a vest black or dark gray blue pants. Vs Brown boots jeans t shirt or hoody sweat jacket style. I own both and what you said is pretty much how I wear them to. I wear the brown boots more than my black leather shoes I feel those are more dressy shoes and I don't want to hear them up if I do have to dress up those are ready to go. My brown boots are for working in I do put neutral clear shoe polish on them to bring out the shine.
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.
Brown suede or black leather Chelsea boots ? Getting ready to purchase a pair of Thursday boots
Personally I prefer Brack or Blown.
