When approaching my research, I figured that consulting a mixture of celebrities and influencers would be my best bet to see how the fashion set are styling the puddle-pant trend, and I’m pleased to reveal that there’s five shoe styles that keep cropping up. For relaxed ensembles, white trainers are the consensus, especially with black puddle-pants. A peak-a-boo moment with a pointed toe heel will elevate these trousers for a sleeker look—plus if you’re lucky enough to own the Gucci logo heels that are all over Instagram right now, then there’s no better way to show off the sparkling monogram. Abi Marvel’s puddle-jeans look is all the proof you’ll need. While the sun is still making its daily appearance, sandals are the first port of call for easy s...

We all know jeans shopping can be quite the impossible task. With sizing and fit differing from brand to brand, finding “the one” can be tricky. But once you know the style that suits you, you’ve completed half the mission. And with non-skinny jeans a firm favourite at the moment, flared jeans are at the top of the list.  Whether you go for a wide-leg flare, a tighter fitting style or a crop, the next step is to know which shoes to style with them. Because let us tell you, not all shoes, sandals and boots go with all flared jeans. While longer styles are most suited to heeled ankle boots and sandals, cropped pairs look effortless with trainers and other flats. So, to find out which shoes suit your favourite flares, keep scrolling for some outfit inspir...

Fashion may not have progressed as quickly as it usually would over the past few years, but 2022 marks a distinct shift in the type of trends we’re seeing—particularly where boots are concerned. Yes, practicality and comfort still play an integral design role, but now, it looks as if designers have rediscovered the joy in creating boots for show, too, with spindly heels, fancy embellishments, and even metallics making a comeback. Below, I’ve identified the six key boot trends that not only kept cropping up on the 2022 runways, but also on our current wish lists as well. Scroll on to see them.

It turns out that these simple shoes perfectly capture the low-key, laid-back mood everyone is embracing this season—think major “coastal grandmother” vibes. I love that all you need to add to them is a ribbed vest and a good pair of jeans for the perfect spring 2022 look, which is exactly how I’ve been wearing mine (with an added trenchcoat for now) pretty much every day since I got them. But they also go with dresses, wide-leg trousers, shorts and skirts, and I can imagine them coming into their own during the great British summertime—on staycations, beach days, countryside wanderings or for running errands to the local farmers market. The taupe pair, in particular, are like fashion gold dust right now and are sold out pretty much everywhere. You’re in luck though...

As a self confessed shoe fanatic, my favourite topic of discussion is the latest trends in footwear. To quote the great Carrie Bradshaw, not only do a good pair of shoes make or break an outfit, but they have the ability to “rescue your ankles from a life of boredom”, and given the amount of time we spend in shoes working, socialising, and travelling, it’s only right that they should be special to make the journey a little more fun.  The latest style I have fallen for? The kitten heel. While I consider them an obviously wise investment– they are chic, playful, and most importantly, easy to wear, I am told that are they are controversial choice. Once synonymous with being matronly and conservative, the kitten heel has earned a bad reputation a...

When deciding what shoes are best, first things first, deduce what vibe you’re going for and build from there. For evening looks, the combination of a miniskirt paired with patent knee-high boots will transcend seasons and trends. For daytime, pointed mules will present a Parisian-inspired look, whereas trainers or flip-flops lean towards the minimalist Scandi aesthetic. There’s scope for experimentation too. It is a bold style, after all. Clash themes and textures, whether that’s a towelling skirt paired with a two-tone slingback or a fitted mini with grungy mules.

Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises. Some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while other designers probably should’ve just stuck to what they do best. Proenza Schouler and Birkenstock might not have been the most obvious of fashion bedfellows, but when these two brands dropped their first sandal collaboration in 2020, the fashion crowd couldn’t get enough—and neither could I. And, as it turns out, the now bestselling style isn’t just a fashion editor fave, but a celebrity one too. As designer/presenter/all-round-style icon Alexa Chung just wore them on holiday, firmly cementing the fashionable collab as an It shoe for the ages.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Of course, as soon as I saw them drop online I snapped them up in both colours, and then proceeded to see how many ways I could style them up. Inspired by the understated ways French girls always wear their favourite ballet flats, I loved them best with cropped jeans and tailored shorts. But they’d also look cute with mini skirts, skinny jeans, cropped tailored trousers and shirtdresses to name a few— making them the perfect workwear and weekend accessory.  Scroll down and you’ll find links to shop Marks and Spencer’s new ballet flats. And if you love them as much as I do be sure to add them to cart sharpish, since we know from experience these M&S winners sell out in lightening speed. I’ve also shopped out my outfits and added some more of my favourite ballet flats below… Yo...

Chicer than beach-ready flip-flops, but still the ideal hot-weather option for summer in the city, this versatile shoe is like the cooler sister of the strappy sandal, and is popping up everywhere for good reason. Wear with a light dresses, shirts & shorts, wide legged linen, in fact, anything you’d wear your regular flats with–and as Sienna has proven, they’re equally good with event dresses, so that’s wedding season sorted.  Keep scrolling to shop our edit of the best heeled thong sandals on the market now.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

If you were to rattle off the summer staples in your wardrobe, there’s a strong chance that shorts would be toward the top of the list. Well, it makes sense given the practical and stylish nature of the essential. On that note, we thought we’d bring you a range of standout shorts silhouettes if you’re looking to add a fresh pair to your rotation. But we’re actually taking it one step further and showcasing the shoes that look best with shorts. Alternatively, we also wanted to highlight the shoe silhouettes we’re not as into with shorts at the moment given their somewhat outdated nature. Of course, remember that you should really just wear what you love and what you’re most comfortable in. Keep scrolling to check out testimonials from the team about the shoes to wear with shorts this s...

While you may not be ready to think about investment jackets, knitwear or a full head-to-toe autumn/winter 2022 look (well, we are in the middle of a heatwave, after all), you may still be intrigued to at least know what the topline shoe trends of autumn are. Although a coat or outfit has to wait its turn, shoes are perennial in our country. Bar a super-hot day here or there, in the UK, you can pretty much always pull out a closed-toe flat or ankle boot without feeling silly—in fact, some of the greatest celebrity summer looks play into this chunky autumnal shoe + cute summer outfit formula. There’s an interesting mood for the season ahead, wherein designers appear to have divided into camps. One faction is all about the partygoer, while the other focuses on easy, downtime ...

Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises. Some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while other designers probably should’ve just stuck to what they do best. Proenza Schouler and Birkenstock might not have been the most obvious of fashion bedfellows, but when these two brands dropped their first sandal collaboration last year, the fashion crowd couldn’t get enough—and neither could I. With all of Proenza’s design know-how and the comfy, hard-wearing appeal of Birkenstock’s iconic sandal, the collaboration entered the market just as the “gorpcore” trend was hitting the big time. With their clean lines, pops of colour and comfortable fit, these sandals are a rare meeting of form and function. So it comes as no surprise to me that thi...
