It’s autumn, my favourite time of year! Bonfire night, Halloween, pumpkins, casseroles, hot apple cider, golden leaves, sunny, crisp walks… What’s not to like? Last year I did a post about my favourite wellies of the season, and this year I went out and actually bought a pair (or two!).

When it comes to classic wellington boots, Hunter is the go-to brand. Once the realm of farmers and country folk, since Kate Moss donned a pair at a festival, the Hunter brand exploded.

Known now for their fashionable status as much as their quality, a pair of Hunter wellies can be found by anyone’s back step, from royalty to farm hands to Chelsea yummy mummies!

Thanks to their new status as a fashion icon, Hunter have expanded their range, introducing new colours, styles and ways to customise your own pair, including these awesome Hunter socks (c/o Country Attire). I decided to pick out a fairly plain pair of side adjustable black matte wellies, also from Country Attire, as the site has an amazing range of Hunters at great prices.

(Prices correct at August 2014)

As you can see from the above, Hunter have an incredible range! However, I really wanted a very versatile pair that would go with anything – hence the black, and hence the adjustable sides, which allow room for baggier trousers or thicker material. To keep my toes warm for the upcoming festivities – including bonfire nights, Christmas fairs and long snowy walks – I plumped for a pair of panther black welly socks, which have an awesome furry top! (Check out Country Attire’s full range of Hunter welly socks here!) One of my wellington boot fantasies actually includes a pair of glossy red Hunters topped with a pair of cream cable knit welly socks – the perfect Christmas morning walk combo, but let’s just say, I already have two pairs of Hunters now, so any more at this point borders on lunacy. (Aka, we’ll wait and see…)

Also, Duchess of Cambridge fans take note, Country Attire also carries Le Chameau wellies – Kate has previously worn the Vierzonord style, I think in olive. As well as this, the site carries other brands the Duchess favours, including Barbour, Sebago, Ted Baker and Penelope Chilvers!

I’m planning another post with my new wellies in action, so make sure to check it out later this week!
