Emma Watson Just Wore the '90s Shoe Trend That's Suddenly All Over London
Stepping out for a walk in chilly London, Emma Watson revived a major '90s shoe trend that has been waiting on the sidelines for some time now. Whilst leather, suede and even fluffy shoes have enjoyed popularity in 2023, the humble patent shoe had remained largely forgotten, but now that winter is here, these shiny styles are due a comeback. Channelling a smart/casual '90s look, Watson's daytime outfit comprised a grey, wool, pinstripe suit, a red, chunky, cable-knit jumper and polished patent leather Prada shoes. By weaving in a pop of red, Watson's casual outfit tapped into one of the biggest colour trends of the season in a wearable and easy-to-copy way. Incorporating both new and enduring trends, her outfit hit the sweet spot, balancing a timeless and trend-led look.
When winter is at its peak and you're bundled up in fluffy layers, these sleek shoes can be all you need to give your outfit a smarter edge. To channel Watson's look, style an oversized knit with a pair of smart patent shoes and a boxy blazer, bringing a slouchy suede tote along with you.
