Shoes - What's cool this year

This year designers are all about reintroducing old trends with a new twist. Designers are reinventing classic shoes in a big way, creating something fresh, funky and completely unique to anything that has been seen before. Shoes this season are about making a statement without compromising comfort. Take a look at what is cool for this year.

 

Wedges

Wedges were popular many years ago and have only just resurfaced again this year. While in the past the wedge was typically found in neutral colours and meant for casual summer attire, this year they have been redesigned for an edgier look. Today you can find wedges that are adorned with metal hardware and shimmery materials for a look that is edgy and perfect for the nightclub. There are also great statement pieces, like the wedge ankle boot which has never been seen before. There is also the classic wedge that is perfect for summer dresses and lunch dates with the ladies.

 

Clogs

Another shoe that has been out of the fashion scene for a while is the clog. This year designers are giving these shoes a makeover and creating a totally hot new trend. Clogs are great for dresses and everyday wear. They are usually found in neutral colours, making them ideal for a variety of outfits and occasions. Plus, the chunky heel makes them much more comfortable to walk around in all day than a regular pump shoe.

 

Gladiator

The gladiator style has actually been around for a few years now, and doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. However, this year they are trending towards a softer, less chunky look. The gladiator sandals and shoes this season tend to have smaller straps and less bold detailing, making them great for more casual, everyday use. Another big trend this year is combining just a few small straps with a big cuff to give a lovely, bohemian appeal.

 

Vintage Flats

This year flats have been given a retro makeover. Oxford-inspired flats can be seen everywhere, and promise to be a hot fall trend this year. There are also many lovely, demure, vintage looking flats that are perfect for little summer dresses and playsuits. Look for these flats in soft, neutral colours like green and gray to give your outfit a vintage, whimsical feel.

 

Summer Boots

Boots have traditionally been reserved for the colder weather when strappy sandals and sexy heels go back in the closet. This year, however, the summer boot is a huge trend. These boots have detailing that makes them less clunky and more feminine – perfect for wearing with shorts or dresses. You will find boots with peep-toes and others with cut-out patterns for an airy, softer look. The end result is a boot that looks great with any summer ensemble and is cool enough to wear all season long.
