Put Your Best Foot Forward
We’re nearly out of February-and that can only mean one thing; spring is just around the corner. Now we know, it may be a little early to start chatting about warm weather style, so we've cobbled together some of the best new footwear options that we’ll be wearing from now through to the end of summer-making sure you can put your best foot forward even if it is hurling it down outside.
Trainers
The daddy of casual shoes, whether you’re calling them kicks, sneakers, or creps, you aren't going to want to be left out in the cold on this little style necessity.
One of the all time greats of sport inspired trainers, a pair of authentic Vans have been known for being everything from the bread and butter of a skaters attire, to the shoe that was owned by half of California and more recently, one of the biggest fashion trends to sweep the UK. We love Vans for their simple approach. A heavy vulcanized sole, simple colour ways and an iconic style that is packed full of California sun fuelled vibrancy, you need a pair of these whether you’re hitting ramps on a deck or just pounding the pavements.
From the infamous brand with three stripes, the Gazelle pays homage to Adidas’ now infamous sporting history. If you’re aiming for a laid back casual heritage style, then your footwear choice can’t get much more perfect than a pair of suede Gazelle’s. With an iconic silhouette this pairs bright blue colour makes them perfect for wearing with any coloured denim, or when it gets a bit warmer, chuck them on with some tailored shorts.
Another classic silhouette, the Adidas Originals Nizza is perfect if you’re looking for a crisp white sneaker that’s going to be that go to trustworthy pair. Finished in all white for the freshest of looks, you’ll be able to wear these trainers with any jeans, and then link them with shorts when the sun emerges.
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a sneaker freak, then these Reebok classics should be no stranger to you. An iconic shape comes thanks to its vintage runner aspirations, whilst an on trend suede finish makes them perfect for the coming months. Wear them with classic white sport socks and shorts in the summer for a fashionable throw back street wear look.
Shoes
Looking to add something a touch smarter to your attire? Look no further than these sleek styles, which make crossing smarter elements of your wardrobe over to your more casual looks a piece of cake.
A staple for lovers of prep and classic style alike, the deck shoe has a sense of distinction that can’t be rivalled. Shown here in dark brown leather, the deck shoe originates from a nautical background and has kept many of its original features, making it practical as well as stylish. Pioneered by the likes of the iconic and stylish JFK, the deck shoe is a powerhouse in year round style, so don’t be afraid to wear yours with denim as well as chinos.
One of the most versatile shoes around, a decent brogue has the ability to change any outfit from dull to downright impressive. These suede Ted Baker’s have the potential to do exactly that, offering up a well textured look with white contrasts that will sit sublimely well with dark denim, chinos or shorts.
