In recent years, comfort has become a key detail in any style, including shoe trends. So, it’s no surprise that comfortable heels that offer support and ease of movement have taken center stage in fashion. Think kitten heels, block heels, and other sturdy designs.
This means that super-skinny stiletto heels or steeply designed shoes will look outdated and passé.
Knee-high boots can easily look outdated due to their material and color.
For boot lovers, especially those who adore knee-high boots, the go-to choice is often suede material in black. However, this traditional option can easily look dated and even make your trendy outfit appear less elegant.
The key here is to refresh the look of your boots by opting for different materials and brighter colors, such as shades of pink, green, or blue, and don’t be afraid to add some sparkle. Additionally, houses like Saint Laurent, Rodarte, Tom Ford, Off-White, Rejina Pyo, and Prabal Gurung unanimously declare that animal prints and textures are the hottest trend.
Keep ankle boots but swap neutral colors for trendy red or sparkly shades.
The rule of changing materials and colors applies to ankle boots as well. Renowned designers like Jeremy Scott and Coach are aiming to bring the brightest hues to their ankle boot designs. Ditch the everyday beige, brown, and black, and go for bold reds or shades with metallic or sparkly details.
For laced-up shoes, forget “gladiator” and think “ballet.”
While laced-up gladiator heels were once popular, their more restrained cousin, the Rockstud classic from Valentino, also had its moment in the fashion world. Times have changed, and we must quickly adapt to the new trends in laced-up shoes.
Notice how most fashion shows, from Versace and Simone Rocha to Christian Dior, Elisabetta Franchi, Etro, Givenchy, GCDS, and Missoni, feature shoes inspired by ballet. The thinner and more delicate the laces, the trendier the look!
