Zara Tindall’s wellies tick all our boxes for practical styling and they’re perfect for rainy January days

Zara Tindall’s wellies tick all our boxes for practical styling and they’re the perfect pair of boots for rainy January days.

As the UK’s cold snap continues to have us reaching for our warmest coats and best snow boots, we know that the return of showers and rain won’t be all that far away too. Keeping dry in wet weather is something we all strive for and it doesn’t come much more practical than wellies for venturing outdoors in the rain. Practical dressing can also be incredibly stylish - as Zara Tindall’s wellies prove.

Zara Tindall’s wellies are the beautiful L’Alliance Neo boots from a 2022 collaboration between luxurious boot brands Le Chameau and Fairfax & Favor. Combining the best of both, the L’Alliance Neo boots are priced at £295 and are crafted from Le Chameau’s Chamolux rubber.

This material is exclusive to the brand and makes Zara Tindall’s wellies incredibly supple and flexible. This, along with them being 100% waterproof, makes them the perfect staple for venturing out in rainy weather.

The L’Alliance boots are handcrafted by a Le Chameau Master Bootmaker and if this attention-to-detail and craftsmanship is something you’re particularly looking for from a new pair of Wellington boots, these are well worth investing in.

The L’Alliance wellies are also fabulously stylish as well as a sensible shoe for rainy days from two of the best boot brands out there. The neoprene lining is the classic Fairfax & Favour orange which adds a fun pop of colour and they also feature the iconic fan and tassel details. The tassel can be interchanged as we’ve seen on Zara’s boots before and this enhances their versatility.

The boots are reinforced with Aramid fibres to help provide extra protection and there’s also a shank reinforcement board for better stability. The collaboration prides itself on bringing customers a boot that is beautiful and has brilliant performance. 

If you’re tempted by the L’Alliance boots but aren’t sure about making quite as much of an investment there are also plenty of chic wellies that are a bit more affordable. Many of them are a classic green shade like Zara Tindall’s wellies, though you can also find some lovely combinations of colours if you’d prefer something a little different.

Zara was most recently seen wearing her pair of L’Alliance wellies (minus the tassel) in August 2023 and whilst this was summer, we all know that the UK weather is unpredictable. Walking across a field, these were a sturdy option and Zara paired the Le Chameau x Fairfax & Favor boots with white jodhpurs, a navy waterproof and a matching navy cap as she attended the Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park.

She also wore her wellies at the Burghley Horse Trials in September 2022 with navy trousers tucked in and a navy short-sleeved top. It seems she especially loves tying in the navy detailing with navy clothes, although you could of course pair the wellies with any contrasting shades to make a real statement.
