The tall, skinny stiletto heel was invented in 1950, strengthening the relationship between women, sexuality, and appearance. When it comes to wearing these heels traditionally, it is as much about the setting as it is about the clothes! Stilettos are a classic look at weddings, work functions, and special occasions. Their dainty-looking heel and beautiful silhouette help make the ultimate match with your favourite formal getup, whether it be a sheer dress or flowing jumpsuit.
Wedges were originally developed to correct heel problems or instep issues, such as fallen arches, so they provide support all day long. Wedges are one of the most versatile types of sandals, so there are plenty of outfits that will suit. You could wear wedges with jeans for a casual outfit that’s perfect for a summer evening, or with shorts for the daytime. For a more elegant look that still feels casual, wear wedge sandals with a dress.
Combat boots, which you can argue are a staple and never a trend, remain a cold weather favorite. But in recent years, they’ve turned into a runway mainstay, many designers paired them with moody florals, use them to contrast flowy skirts, and chose sleek ones to accent minimalist looks.
Over-the-knee boots aren't footwear for the faint of heart. This unapologetic shoe trend climbs to the top of the trend cycle every few seasons. Designers in all of the major fashion week cities endorsed the trend and also proved its versatility, styling the footwear with both romantic and sporty looks with equal gusto. It’s a trend that will not only get you through the fall season but well through winter, all while being wearable and practical.
If there is one footwear force of nature that is as strong as it is unknowable, it’s the chunky sneaker. Today, fashion’s obsession with sneaker has swiftly gone from a wonderfully weird emerging trend to a powerful luxury sales and it has pushed the boundaries of good taste in a myriad of forms. Pair them with loose fit or oversized pieces. The key to pulling off these sneakers is balance, and pairing your bulky kicks with relaxed-fit clothing is the best way to keep your proportions in check.
