Remember when we recently discussed the phenomenon of Lily-Rose Depp, the unofficial queen of “ugly shoes”? The young star and one of the new generation’s up-and-coming fashionistas easily swapped the sophisticated designer stilettos for fisherman’s sandals and rough clogs. The choice is so unexpected that the Lily-Rose collection is even called “NDR-ovskoye” on the website!
And this could be considered a manifestation of personal style (taste is a personal matter), but not so long ago, the trend of strange and “old” shoes was supported by Taylor Swift. So it’s not just a coincidence, but a new fashion trend that is spreading faster than Barbie-Oppenheimer memes.
Within a month, Tailov pulled out two new outfits: beige and sand Mary Janes and loafers. Far from social media fashion standards, both styles are eye-catching: while influencers are pushing ballet flats with bows (thanks to the Valentino couture collection for inspiration), Swift is opting for chunky Mary Janes with a wide belt and basket weave at the cape. Remember? Like from childhood!
The second specimen is no less nostalgic: we have seen these crossbreeds of loafers and mules somewhere before. We won’t be surprised if you still have similar sandals from kindergarten (thick sole and heel strap to keep shoes from flying). A long time ago, I wanted to outgrow these shoes, and now she herself got into a fashionable top. Funny!
The conclusion is simple: uncomfortable trends lose to good old-fashioned practicality, which allows you to go through your own archives and give forgotten sandals or moccasins a second chance. We focus on the stars – they tell you where the trend is!
