Get Duchess Sophie’s exact cowboy boots – the summer must have | Royal | News
If there is one footwear trend set to dominate the country style this season, it is a classic pair of cowboy boots – and Duchess Sophie has just offered the perfect styling lesson. The Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out earlier this week at the Sandringham Festival of Carriage Driving, wearing a pair of Penelope Chilvers boots, once again proving why the British label remains one of the Royal Family’s most trusted names.
Retailing at £349, the boots are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Spain from rich suede and finished with intricate embroidered detailing that gives them an authentic Western-inspired feel. They also feature a comfortable, low, stacked heel, making them practical for long days on your feet without compromising on style. Available in UK sizes 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, they are a timeless investment you’ll reach for year after year.
What makes Sophie’s styling particularly refreshing is that she has shown cowboy boots are not just reserved for autumn. She paired hers effortlessly with a flowing printed midi skirt, proving they work beautifully with lightweight summer dresses and skirts for race meetings, countryside events and weekends away.
As the temperatures cool later in the year, they transition just as easily with denim, knitwear and tailored jackets, making them one of the hardest-working boots you can buy.
The royal credentials only add to their appeal. Penelope Chilvers has long been synonymous with royal fashion, with Princess Catherine famously wearing the brand’s iconic Long Tassel Boots for more than two decades.
More recently, Harriet Sperling, now Mrs Peter Phillips, has also become a fan of the British label, cementing its place as one of the Royal Family’s favourite footwear brands.
Designed with longevity rather than fleeting trends in mind, these boots are exactly the sort of cost-per-wear investment the royals continue to champion.
