I Swear, These Shoes Make Any Outfit Look 10/10
Yoga, painting, knitting… There are lots of hobbies out there people get a kick out of. Ours, however, is of more an observing nature. Some have a penchant for trains, planes or automobiles, but our past-time of choice in undoubtedly shoe-spotting, and we've certainly been in our element doing so over the course of fashion month.
While we've clocked countless styles worthy of article space, it quickly became apparent that there was one dominant trend emerging from the feet of the fash pack: velvet shoes.
Normally associated with party season (which, let's face it, isn't that far off), it seems show-goers collectively decided dust theirs off early, and we're inspired to do the same.
With the ability to make even the drabbest of outfits look luxe, it's high time you treated yourself to a pair, too. From heels and flats to boots and kicks, keep scrolling to shop the best velvet shoes for every style and budget.
These are so cute (not to mention affordable) that we're considering investing in the black version, too.
This rust hue will look beautiful set against this year's It colour: powder blue.
