Want to look like an aristocrat? Check out Theo James in Church's new Fall 2025 campaign.
In Church's "A Day in the Life" campaign, Theo James takes on the role of a British gentleman, capturing a day in the lap of luxury. Every frame—from an aristocratic manor house to a picturesque garden—captivates with unpretentious craftsmanship.
James presents himself as the perfect host of the estate: relaxing with a cup of aromatic tea, dressed in satin pajamas and chunky Poulton hiking boots, subtly combining sophisticated style with austere elegance.
"I had a wonderful time filming in the Cotswolds. We drew inspiration from Church's true English heritage while also showcasing the precision craftsmanship of each model," the actor commented to Numero Netherlands.

Although the aristocrat takes center stage, in a rather casual "home" style, it's impossible not to notice the numerous shoes on display, from elegant oxfords to brogues, derbies, Chelsea boots, ankle boots, and hiking boots.

Church's for Fall 2025 - a collection still close to traditionThe new fall/winter collection showcases the Goodyear 2.0 line, featuring well-known models in a classic and versatile design. These shoes continue to boast exceptional quality, incredible elegance, and a great style that, despite changing trends, remains fashionable. The seasonal edition also features the new Off-Town line, dedicated to dignified styles that complement the countryside, with a slightly provincial touch.
