Sure, basic black or brown loafers will never go out of style, but a playful iteration in a fun print or funky color is the style du jour among the fashion elite right now.
Whether you’re going for Dr. Martens, legit hiking boots, or hybrid sneakers, the chunky-sole silhouette is where it’s at.
If you’re going the heel route, the more eye-catching with embellishments and forward fabrics, the better.
