There is nothing more satisfying (fashion wise that is) then seeing the new trends for shoes and boots that will be gracing our feet in the coming seasons. There are some delectable delights to be sought after and to be worn; if you buy nothing else in the coming seasons make sure your shoes are high and your boots even higher.
If you think white shoes died out in the eighties, think again, this year the more elaborate the heel the more on trend you are, fashionistas will be clambering over the designer heeled sandals, echoing a porcelain look, reflecting on nature. Heels depicting intertwining leaves, it’s about the texture and the opalescence of the shoe. The white shoe will be the star of the outfit.
Sculpture is another key trend for this year; high heeled shoes take on the quality of a monument. With towering heels, the bigger and more elaborate the platform, the greater the appeal, mixing canvas and leather to bring you the ultimate of two worlds colliding and evolving from a beach espadrille into a platform shoe with a killer heel.
Once again we will see the shoe boot but with the added definition of studs. The still popular peep toe boot is still on trend but for this year, it’s about the detail of the upper part of the shoe, look for texture, think reptilian and scales to add that extra factor to your footwear. With shoe boots evoking a dagger like heel, there is no question that these are designed to add the wow to any outfit, even pyjamas.
This year look out for the weave, woven leather boots to raffia, there will be a stylish pair of boots to suit everyone and for every outfit. The one key area to not be overlooked is the heel, pencil thin and elegant.
It’s not just about pencil thin heels, for those who need that extra bit of stability, welcome to the block heel, a firm favourite for those days when practicality is a must. There will be wonderful designs to choose from, curved block heels to full on towering tree trunks. The key will be the finish, think satin or wood, the covering of the heels is the trend.
This year is the year to make sure your footwear stands out, it maybe a year for penny pinching but when it comes to shoes and boots, there is always a way to indulge and go head over heels.
