The Duchess of Edinburgh has set the tone for autumn dressing, with her Penelope Chilvers cowboy boots emerging as a standout seasonal piece. Sophie, 61, wore the brand's £359 Goldie Embroidered Cowboy Boots in the Peat shade, a tan-brown suede, at the Cornbury House Horse Trials over the weekend.
She paired the boots with a crisp white blouse, a cropped chocolate corduroy jacket and a long camel-toned skirt, giving the Western-inspired style a softer, more feminine twist. The boots are cut to a flattering mid-calf height and feature an elongated toe, Cuban heel and slim silhouette, with intricate contrasting embroidery across the suede.
A versatile autumn investment
Earlier in the season, Sophie wore the same pair with denim, allowing the boots to add country edge to a more casual look. The Peat colourway works well with chocolate, cream, khaki, burgundy and denim, making them easy to style across different outfits.
The boots remain in stock at Penelope Chilvers for £359. For those seeking alternatives, the Rockingham boots from Fairfax & Favor are available for £325, featuring a sleek pointed toe, soft suede and subtle embroidery detail, in sizes 3 to 9 (excluding size 5).
Other boot options
Dune London's Tayla boots, priced at £159, offer a classic knee-high option in brown suede, available in sizes 3 to 8 with standard and wide fit choices. They feature a 4cm heel and come in a variety of colours and suede options.
