Because while it’s true that most shoes retain a timeless appeal, that doesn’t keep designers from offering up some fresh new trends for us to consider each season. Then there’s the influence of our favourite celebrities, whose street style can unintentionally set a new footwear trend in motion — just look at Bella Hadid’s blessing of the controversial ballet trainer or ‘sneakerina’.
Shopping for the perfect new-season pair of shoes is a balanced equation, but one that, if you get right, will give endless solutions to your current wardrobe. A sleek slingback heel possesses the power to elevate a simple pair of jeans and white t-shirt, while a considered cowboy boot can imbue your summer dress with a touch of western appeal.
