This could be what some people might call an unhealthy obsession, but the good news is we’re not the only ones: celebrities have also started a love affair with the combat boot, and we’re seeing more and more of this scruffy and clunky footwear on some of the most pampered feet in Hollywood.

If you’re still not sure if you should enlist yourself for the combat boot trend, then maybe this post will convince you just how versatile they are. We’ve put together 3 different outfit variations with the combat boots, courtesy of actresses Blake Lively and Taylor Momsen, and model Ali Stephens.

Blake Brings on the Bling

Combat boots are the best things for pairing with pretty things. The clash of the tough versus the girly makes for an interesting outfit contrast, and it also makes clothes like Blake’s super sparkly silver jacket inexplicably appropriate for daytime wear.

Wear combat boots with your own frilly tops, short dresses, and sequined clothes and see if you don’t feel like grinning and stomping around like Blake in this picture.

Taylor Totally Tailored

Although the trend now is to wear combat boots unlaced and unkempt, you can actually still wear them like they were designed to be worn: all laced up and tidy. Taylor Momsen wears hers all neat and tied up, and by switching the laces with thick ribbons, she makes her combat boots look instantly polished.

Try Taylor’s trench coat, scarf, and fedora look with combat boots. Of course you can wear them unlaced if you prefer, but you can do head-to-toe Taylor and wear your boots all laced up too. Changing the shoelaces to ribbons are optional.

Ali All-American

Even though Ali’s combat boots look like they’ve gone through some battles already, she still looks fresh, cool and all-American all at the same time in this outfit. A fitted jacket, a structured bag, and a pair of slim pants suddenly look relaxed when paired with a baseball cap, a thick scarf, and scuffed combat boots. Ali Stephens in this picture is the perfect example of how to wear combat boots with casual clothes without looking sloppy.

A good pair of combat boots are these Jeffrey Campbell Robbie Lace Up Booties:

These already come pre-scuffed and pre-distressed. Buying combat boots in this condition is like missing out on the fun part of having to wear down a brand new pair of shoes, but if you prefer not to do the dirty work, then purchase these boots for $286.00 at Shopbop.com.
