Structured Strides
As winter approaches and the layers pile on, bold angular shapes will help anchor top-heavy ensembles. Classic silhouettes are enhanced with stronger features for a striking yet understated look. The Monique textured platform loafer pumps feature a luxurious whiskey brown finish and block heels for a fiercely feminine take on the masculine style. Square-toed constructions are both eye-catching and comfortable — the Monique buckle-strap ankle boots in match-all chalk are a case in point. Experiment with different strap styles, such as triple straps or nostalgic T-bars, to create visual interest.
Tartan Tribe
Synonymous with the festive season, a red tartan print is a great way to brighten up dark winter ensembles. An evergreen fashion favourite, it enlivens sensible Mary Janes and Oxfords, transforming them from classic footwear to statement shoes. For a more subtle take on the trend, wear this bold print on the shoes’ lining and let it peek out as an unexpected yet distinctive detail.
