Let's find out which shoes are in fashion, which brand to give preference to and with what to wear trendy shoes.
Types and Models
Derby
Low shoes with an open type of lacing, that is, strips with holes for laces are not sewn into the base, but sewn on top, in America they are sometimes called bluchers shoes. These shoes came to the women’s wardrobe from men’s, so most often they are unisex shoes, although designers are trying to make female models more accurate and elegant.
Many derby are decorated with perforations, but since perforated shoes are brogues, it would be more correct to call them derby brogues. In the classic interpretation, they are sewn from leather or suede, but modern models can be made from textiles, denim and other unusual materials.
Monkey
Low shoes, which fall under a separate classification, since they do not apply to shoes with laces or shoes without fasteners. Monks are shoes with a buckle that were invented for monks, hence the name (from the English monk - monk).
These are classic shoes that look like derby or oxford, but instead of laces, they have one or two buckles as a fastener.Monks look very elegant, so they are suitable for an office dress code, but they will also look great with casual clothes.
Louboutins
In the assortment of the Christian Louboutin brand you can find not only the famous red-soled shoes, but also various high-heeled ankle boots. There are models on a hairpin and a thick heel, with a sharp and rounded toe and various decorative elements. Lanyards and buckles are popular, fringe, perforation and much more are found.
Fans rarely remain indifferent to the creations of the designer, especially since a large selection of ankle boots allows you not to part with your favorite louboutins, even in the autumn-winter period.
Low
Low boots are called low shoes, which include all models with and without laces. The height of such shoes ends in the area of the bone, sometimes it reaches the ankle, but in no case higher.
They can be on a flat sole, on a platform sole, on a heel, depending on the style chosen by you. Low boots are an ideal solution for the off-season, when it is already cold in the shoes, and it is too early to put on boots.
Transparent
Invisible shoes are most often made of silicone, and their main purpose is the same as that of rubber boots - to protect your feet from moisture. They are not afraid of puddles, mud, snow and chemicals. Ideal for bad weather, it is also a stylish accessory.
The advantage of transparent shoes is that under the bottom you can wear bright socks and cheer yourself and everyone around you. Some brands, such as Cheap Monday, suggest that we wear transparent shoes with bare feet. But it looks beautiful only on the catwalk and in the photo on social networks. In practice, the shoes are misting and sticking to the skin, so it is better to wear them with beautiful socks.
Stilettos
Stilettos look very elegant, a girl in such shoes acquires a special charm and sexuality. These shoes almost never go out of fashion, but are not very suitable for everyday wear. Ankle boots with stiletto heels will complement your business or holiday look, will be a great end to the look for a party. For everyday wear, it is better to choose a wedge heel or a stable thick heel.
Pointy noses
Pointed-toe boots are a classic. They can become the main focus of the image, but can only serve as an elegant addition, it all depends on the model you choose. Now the trend is models that look like real art objects, so they require some courage.
Cowboy-style boots, decorated with large grommets, embroidery, flowers, as if drawn in gouache, and shiny models made of metallic leather or glitter coated. It definitely won’t be boring!
With a zipper in front
Zipper in the front is a fashion trend, but it carries not only a decorative, but also a functional role. The vertical line, especially in combination with an elongated toe, visually extends the leg. Therefore, this model is ideal for full and short girls, and for everyone who wants to make their legs visually longer.
With straps
Another trend of this season is boots with straps that can be located anywhere. For example, the ankle strap looks very piquant and decorates the leg, and if you want to add more grunge to the image, choose models with thick straps that decorate the vamp.
Velcro
Velcro boots are the perfect solution for every day. They are easy to take off and put on; they are comfortable and functional. They are especially suitable for girls with a full foot and a high rise, since Velcro allows you to adjust the width of the boot. The robust design of such a model will give you confidence and comfort every day.
Styles
Military
The characteristic features of this style are clear and strict forms, conciseness, functionality. There are many small details - lacing, straps, rivets. The characteristic color scheme is prevailing - khaki, olive, beige, brown, gray.
Thanks to the designer's experiments, military-style boots can be rude or elegant. Most often, massive laced models resembling berets. However, you can find more feminine heeled shoes, decorated with elegant straps and patterns of rivets.
Sports
Recently, more and more shoes designed for sports and outdoor activities have become relevant in an urban context. These include timberland work boots, running shoes and mountain boots called hikers (hiker or hiking boots).
These are laced shoes with a massive sole, so they are often equated with timberlands, although they have a lot of differences. Since safety and reliability are a priority, hikers are sure to have a light, stiff and non-slip sole. The inner part is soft, the vamp is tailored so that moisture does not get inside. The height is optimal for fixing the ankle, which provides maximum comfort during long walks.
Casual
The basis of casual style - everyday looks should be comfortable and stylish. Many people forget about the second point, although this is exactly what the brilliant Armani had in mind when in the late 90s he suggested combining jeans with a simple t-shirt and a classic jacket.
If clothes in casual style have their own characteristics and certain limitations, then in the case of shoes they are completely absent! It all depends on the occasion, your chosen clothes and your inner sensations.
If we are talking about boots, it can be oxfords, brogues, monks, timberland derby, classic ankle boots. Most of the proposed models will also fit into the smart casual style. It is a stylish pair of shoes that will make your casual look interesting and memorable.
