High fashion and rubber boots – impossible, or simply perfection?

,

As someone who lives and breathes fashion, I always strive to balance style with comfort. And trust me, when you find something that ticks both boxes, it feels like you’ve struck gold. Enter Acquo of Sweden – a brand that’s redefining what rubber boots can be. Yes, you heard me right, rubber boots!

You might think they’re only for rainy days, but let me introduce you to two incredible styles that prove rubber boots can be just as chic as your favorite pair of heels. Let’s talk about the Oxford and Lissabon boots!

ACQUO Oxford: Over-the-knee, under-the-rain, and totally chic

First up, we have the ACQUO Oxford, which is a total game-changer for those days when you want to look cute, even if the skies are pouring. These over-the-knee boots aren’t just practical – they’re genuinely fashionable! I love the semi-glossy finish, which gives them a touch of elegance without being too flashy. And that low 1.5 cm heel? Perfection. It’s just enough to give you a bit of height without sacrificing comfort, which makes these boots perfect for long walks through the city or even a countryside escape.

Picture this: you’re in a flowy summer dress, and even though it’s a bit drizzly, your Oxfords keep you looking polished and effortlessly stylish. They’re made from natural soft rubber, so they feel great to wear, and let’s be honest, that over-the-knee length is just wow. It elongates the legs and instantly elevates any outfit. Whether it’s rain or shine, the Oxfords will have you turning heads for all the right reasons.

And can we just have a moment to talk about how these boots are gender neutral? Seriously – yes, we all know boots, especially high boots of the fashionable kind, are marketed towards women. Women are also the largest group buying them; so it makes sense. Follow the money, and all that. And yet, looking at all the marketing material, we can clearly see how these long boots actually work very well with a masculine, modern style. They go with jeans and black suit pants, and almost create this mix of feminine and masculine that makes the manly aura become more profound.

What do you guys think? Would you throw a fit if your husband showed up in these – or are you like me, and appreciate when men go out of the boring old box, and try something new and striking.

 

ACQUO Lissabon: The go-to boot for everyday glam

Now, let’s talk about the ACQUO Lissabon. If you’re looking for something a bit more understated but still elegant, this is your new everyday favorite. The shorter shaft and sleek, shiny black finish make them super versatile. They’re perfect for pairing with jeans or even a cute summer dress when you want to feel a bit more casual yet still put-together.

The 1.5 cm heel makes them just as comfy as the Oxford model, but the lower height and shorter shaft give them a more laid-back vibe. They’re stylish enough for brunch dates, yet practical for daily errands. And let’s not forget – the softness of the rubber is a dream. You get all the benefits of a durable boot without feeling like your feet are weighed down. It’s like your favorite sneakers but with way more style.

 

So, fashion or function? Why not both!

What I love about Acquo of Sweden is how they’ve turned the humble rubber boot into something that’s not only functional but fashionable. Whether it’s the bold and beautiful over-the-knee Oxford or the classic and chic Lissabon, these boots are proof that style and practicality can, in fact, go hand in hand.

If you haven’t tried rubber boots outside of rainy days yet, trust me, these will change your mind. And with sizes ranging from 37 to 46, there’s something for everyone. Don’t forget to check out the size guide – because finding the perfect fit is key to feeling fabulous!

So, what do you think? Ready to take your style game to the next level with Acquo of Sweden?

At least for myself, I know I’ll be. XOXO, fellow fashionistas!

Autumn’s ‘must haves’ of boots: Piccadilly and Madison from Acquo of Sweden

I don’t know about you – but when the summer nights start to come to an end (sad, I know), there is still something to look forward to: autumn coziness. We’re talking crisp breezes, all the leaves changing color, grabbing a coffee to go and walking through town… admit it; It doesn’t sound completely stupid, does it? Especially for me who lives in Stockholm, there has always been something special about that autumn, sitting by the water with a friend (or date) and enjoying the sunshine that remains.

For those of us who are interested in fashion, it will also be a little extra exciting – the autumn wardrobe will finally arrive! Because of course, hanging up the summer dress may take a while, but if you think about it, you soon realize that autumn, just like spring, offers maximum flexibility in how you put your outfit together. Lighter clothes like blouses and shirts work on sunny days, stylish coats and jackets can be matched (without you dying of sweat…) and you get endless possibilities with scarves, hats and other accessories that are simply too much during the summer.

Something I especially like about autumn is also being able to go wild with other types of shoes! All of a sudden it’s not too hot or too quirky to wear boots and – which you who read know is one of my great passions – stylish boots and ankle boots. It’s like the best of both worlds! Practical, elegant and comfortable.

So what’s better than combining elegance with practicality? Well, here you will get my best tips for the ultimate combo of stylishness and comfort for autumn: Acquo of Sweden’s premium boots, Piccadilly and Madison.

Modern interpretation of a Swedish classic

Acquo of Sweden has a long history that extends back to the iconic rubber boots that were popular in Sweden several decades ago. Should admit that I had no idea about this – but my mom knew! A little fun, anyway.
During the 2020s, the brand was revived with new leadership and styled on the classic boots in a new, modern era. The result? Premium boots that can just as well be worn on the catwalk as in the garden. For real, then! When I was scrolling around, I saw premium boots that actually looked like stylish club boots – but which are also waterproof and durable. Since I live in an apartment, I may not test my couples in a muddy garden during the fall, but I can easily see how this can be practical for those living in the countryside, or during really wet autumn days in town.

Piccadilly – the perfect everyday boot

So which models should you choose from Acquo? For those who are looking for a boot that is both elegant and comfortable, I think Piccadilly is the obvious choice. This classic, black boot is made of soft natural rubber and has a reasonably high heel of 1.5 cm. The shaft height is generous at 40 cm, which gives Piccadilly a stylish and flattering impression without thumbing on function. Nice! The boot’s semi -gloss finish makes it a timeless favorite that can easily be matched with both jeans and dress.

What makes Piccadilly extra special is simply versatility. The shorter shaft and lower heel make it just as good for a day in town as for a relaxed walk in the country. This is the boot that easily becomes part of your everyday uniform – stylish, easy to wear and always just as good looking. Tip is to combine with a nice hat, for a bohemian look!

Madison – when fashion and style are in focus

If you want something that stands out a little more, but still stays within the framework of classic elegance, Madison is the boot for you. With a higher heel of 6 cm and a shorter shaft length, Madison offers a more dressed look – which still retains the comfort that I think Acquo of Sweden really delivers.

Comfort is not something to sneak at either, right? I have boots that I think are very nice, but frankly they are very uncomfortable, and my feet are completely dead after an evening in town … But here we have a nice boot made of soft natural rubber, and an inside dressed in black cotton lining. Madison is in my opinion the perfect boot for those who want to take your autumn outfit to the next level. Wear it with a pair of narrow jeans for a chic look; Or match it with a skirt for a more feminine style. Comfortable, a little more upset look – and just so good looking.

Why should you invest in premium boots?

One of the major benefits of investing in a pair of Acquo of Sweden boots is, frankly, the high quality. These boots are not only designed to look good – they are also built to hold. The soft natural rubber is both durable and waterproof, which makes the boots a reliable choice regardless of the weather. By taking care of your boots with Acquo’s own maintenance products, such as their Shine Spray and Super Cloth (can really recommend!), You keep them in top condition for a long time.

So with everything said and done – would I recommend Acquo of Sweden’s boots? Yes, if it wasn’t clear yet, so absolutely. I may be a bit of a sucker for modern, stylish boots, but the little obsession makes me also feel comfortable saying when I find something special. Acquo of Sweden shows that tradition and modernity can actually go hand in hand, and their boots are the perfect example of this. I am super happy with my couples, and will meet the fall with new outfits and a happy mood!
