Until December 2019, according to Google Trends, there were next to no searches in the UK for the shoe brand Nodaleto. But then, an explosion: In January of 2020, Bella Hadid stepped out wearing a pair of knee-high, platform-soled boots from the French label, and suddenly the world tuned in and started investigating. The truth is fashion people had already clocked the emergence of this brand and its signature curved platforms. It was the first time in a long time that single-sole, dainty heels were being questioned as the most on-trend option, and you could say that this niche collection of Mary Janes and boots has paved the way for a full-blown stacked-shoe revival. Not only was the aesthetic entirely in check, but the agenda-setting “souliers” brand was created...

Is there anything more classic than a humble pair of jeans? Personally, I’d say no. The timeless item finds a home in just about everyone’s wardrobe, in every corner of the globe, regardless of age or gender. Of course, when an item is as versatile as a pair of jeans, there are about a thousand different ways you can style them, dressing them up or down depending on the event or occasion. Today, however, I’m here to talk about the way you style jeans with shoes. I don’t know about you, but when it comes to styling inspiration, I always like to look to street style imagery, and luckily, in recent times, showgoers have offered up a plethora of outfit ideas. Each season, the fashion set takes to the streets in jeans of every shade and silhouette—be it indigo strai...

Avid Who What Wear UK readers will already know that we’re low-key obsessed with FitFlop. A brand that prioritises comfort and coolness in its footwear is always going to be a winner with us. (After a week of running around LFW shows, pass us the slippers, please.) The shoe brand has been on our radar for a while now, especially since the rerelease of the original Walkstar, which we spotted gaining cult status back at the beginning of the summer and have barely taken off since. Sadly, sandal weather is nearing its end, and it’s almost time to hang up our chunky flip-flops for another season. However, with a new season comes new shoes, and if you’ve been wondering which styles to wear between now and boot season, you’ve come to the right place. FitFlop’s new collection just dropped, a...

The prevailing theme for A/W 21‘s hottest boot trend can be summarised as thus: Bigger is most definitely better. Over the course of 2019 and 2020, track soles and combat boots crept (or rather stomped) their way into the wardrobes of fashion’s best dressed, but not to be content with half-measures, it seems as though this year, chunky boots are taking a step up. Please be upstanding for chunky knee-high boots.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Among the Who What Wear team, I’m known for loving “ugly” shoes. Case in point? My thoughts on how Crocs were set to be big in 2021 (spoiler: they are). While that might be an “ugly” shoe too far for some, style-adjacent to the Crocs is the clog, which is also back for 2021. It might seem like the same shoe but is actually a little different, and (sorry Crocs), much cooler. Last summer, I was drawn to clogs when I spotted Fabrizio Viti‘s daisy versions. I own a pair of the denim ones and while I didn’t have anywhere to wear them last summer, I can’t wait to style them à la Lucy Williams with socks. As for the rest of fashion, I can pinpoint the moment we turned towards loving clogs and that was when Hermès d...

It’s official—flat shoes are cool, and I wear them around the clock. Not only are they more comfortable than any of the shoes I wore during my early 20s, but I also trip less. (Note: It’s imperative to pay attention when walking in five-inch stilettos and not get distracted looking at dogs.) And you know, I also feel much more stylish. Ballet flats, loafers, espadrilles, sandals, slingbacks—whatever your preferred flavour of flat footwear is, I’ve found the chicest pairs out there.

Despite the fact that sneakers are a bona fide fashion item, when it comes to future trainer trends, the runway isn’t always a good indicator of what’s coming up, as this item tends to get more of a back seat from most of the big designers. For that reason, I decided to speak to an insider about the biggest sneaker trends we can expect to see for 2022. Titi Finlay, the social media manager for Laced, a leading resale site for sneakers, spoke to me about what we can expect to wear on our feet next year.  Finlay told me about five of the biggest trends for the new year, but she also had a few other points that we should all consider in 2022 when shopping for the hottest trainers. Finlay says, “2021 was the year of the Dunk and the Jordan 1, and these silhouettes have n...

Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises; some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while others, well, let’s just say 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 we. Bringing all of Proenza’s design know-how and the comfy, hard-wearing appeal of Birkenstock’s iconic sandal, the resulting styles entered the market just as the ‘Gorpcore’ trend was hitting the big time. With their clean lines, pops of colour and comfortable fit, they were a rare meeting of form ...

Boots have become one of those items that are pretty much seasonless. True, sturdier and waterproof versions become very useful in the winter, but this type of shoe still has its place in the summer, too. This is why you’ll forgive us for talking about boot trends in the middle of 2021 before we’ve even hit autumn.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

This is a contentious issue and one that can and should only be crowdsourced. I sent a Slack message to the team to gather their responses first. It was a fairly unanimous “no” bar my fellow fussbett-loving editor, Nell Block. However, when polling on Instagram Stories, my followers were almost split down the middle, with 46% voting “yes” and 54% saying “no,” to wearing them. I had multiple DMs sliding in from industry friends—editors, textile designers and stylists—saying they’ve come around to the concept lately, but they’re gunning for a pair of the fluffy-lined sandals or slip-ons, which are actually quite hard to get hold of thanks to their popularity. Over on our Facebook shopping group, So… Should I Buy This? the dislike was ...
