Famous Aussie Jacob Elordi Keeps Wearing Australia’s Most Famous Boots

When Jacob Elordi isn’t dressing like a designer-clad movie star, the 28-year-old actor mostly sticks to a uniform of weathered cool-guy staples. Elordi’s off-duty style skews charmingly beach bum-adjacent, fittingly enough for a guy who splits his time between Brisbane and Los Angeles. Case in point: During a recent jaunt around LA in between press obligations for his role as Nate Jacobs in Euphoria, Elordi dressed less like an Oscar nominee and more like an average Joe with a strong case of the shoppies.

Elordi, of course, is a prominent Bottega Veneta ambassador, and he commits to the job with typical gusto, on and off the screen. (Euphoria‘s new costume designer, Natasha Newman-Thomas, recently told GQ that his character’s penchant for BV was merely happy coincidence.) On this particular outing, though, Elordi eschewed the megawatt designer duds in favor of a Cookie Monster-blue drop-shoulder sweatshirt, a cropped T-shirt, and light-wash jeans held up by a braided western belt. In place of his usual jumbo Andiamo? A humble shopping bag from James Perse.

To anchor all of it, Elordi opted for a pair of Blundstone 585 Chelsea boots, a hardy, evergreen silhouette that just so happens to share the actor’s Australian heritage. The normcore-coded boots, a staple among backpackers and blue-collar cosplayers alike, are some of the best all-weather shoes around. These days, they might see far less action on the factory floor or in the fields, but that doesn’t make them any less of a no-brainer.

The great thing about Blundstones is that they’re true do-everything boots, even if “everything” is simply a trip to restock on made-in-LA tees. Better yet, the 585 is widely available and clocks in at a hair above $200, which means you don’t need to be Jacob Elordi—or secure a lucrative contract with an Italian fashion house—to grab your own.
