Flip flops
Yes, they are back and have staked out a place of honor not only on city streets, but also on the catwalks. I like the classics as interpreted by Chanel and Proenza & Schouler, as well as variations on the theme – like Miu Miu and Hermès. The former will look great with pantsuits, the latter can be worn with dresses (mini, midi, maxi), sundresses of all styles and Bermudas.
Jelly and “furry” pairs of shoes
At the spring-summer 2024 shows, we fell in love with the “shaggy” shoes from 16Arlington and Erdem, and six months later, at the fall-winter shows, we finally realized (thanks to Ferragamo) that we really need such a wonderful pair. Sweaters (that’s what they’re usually called) for the summer are chosen with fringe, feathers or tinsel, and for the fall (yes, already now) we’re looking at, among other things, openly furry or with short pile. In the same category — hottest — are jelly ballet flats, which, thanks to the Olsen sisters, we immediately wanted. We invest in The Row shoes or look for similar ones from local (and not only) brands.
Fisherman's sandals
Not again, but again. For the second season in a row, we find fisherman's sandals on the list of some of the most desirable summer items. They are good because they are extremely comfortable and extremely versatile. You can wear them barefoot or even with a sock. We saw them at the show by Mathieu Blasi for Bottega Veneta (a symbiosis of sandals and mules), JW Anderson (I liked the suede version), Gabriela Hearst (Gabriela Hearst's gold pair is worth a lot) and Erdem (a more closed and rough model).
Muly
If there is stability in the world of shoes, it looks, among other things, like mules. A win-win option for an office dress code, mini dresses and tuxedos. For the latter, choose something in the spirit of minimalist and satin on a triangle heel, for the first two cases, rounded-toe ones like Peter Mullier in Alaia or fantasy ones like Dries Van Noten will do.
