Amongst her array of amazing knitwear and selection of kilts, there’s one item that’s been a steady constant in Claudia Winkleman’s wardrobe on – her from Bottega Veneta. The presenter has worn them with everything from leggings to pleated kilts and mini skirts, proving just how versatile they are.

The ASOS have a classic Chelsea boot look, with a high shaft length and elasticated panels on the sides which makes them easy to get on and off. The stretch panels and pull tab also makes them easy to pull on over skinny jeans or leggings, giving you plenty of styling options.
Just like Claudia’s Bottega boots, the ASOS have a rounded toe and a chunky platform sole, which features a lugged tread that gives you plenty of grip and traction – ideal for the icy winter weather. Although they’re great for the colder months, you can also wear them all year round, looking just as good with bare legs and mini dresses as they do with thick tights.
The main difference between the two boots is the material, with ASOS’ being made from a faux leather, whilst the Bottega ones are made from 100% calfskin leather, which is typically more durable.
