The new spring essentials (6/7)

What shoes will we be wearing this season—and which ones are worth investing in? The sun is shining, winter layers are stored away, and we are ready to step into the new season. So lets talk about new playful footwear options that are worth adding to your wardrobe.  

Ballet flats
Flat shoes have grown in popularity in recent years, with ballet flats evolving into more elegant designs. Designers are clearly championing sleek, pointed-toe flats as the epitome of elegance. What makes pointed-toe flats so appealing is their versatility—they’re polished enough for evenings out yet effortlessly pair with everything from jeans to minidresses to wide-leg trousers, instantly elevating any look. After seasons of square toes, this shift feels refreshingly sophisticated. This is a trend worth investing in, as it’s set to stick around, especially slingback flats.

 Slingback flats
As a variation of ballet flats with an open-back, this style is a refined take on classic ballet flats. Whether styled with tailored trousers, flowy dresses, or casual denim, slingbacks are proving to be a timeless investment for every wardrobe.

 Boat shoes
The preppy deck shoe is the most unexpected shoe trend but already the highlight of the season. For those who aren’t fans of loafers, deck shoes will offer a stylish alternative with their preppy-athletic appeal. Keep a particular look out for chestnut brown leather and sand-coloured suede styles.

 Loafers
They are more polished than sneakers yet less delicate than ballet flats, they offer both style and comfort. This season's versions feel especially fresh. Designers are experimenting from chunky Gucci-inspired soles to sleek, minimalist styles exuding quiet luxury. Metallic finishes, woven textures, and subtle embellishments add a modern twist to this timeless staple.

Kitten heels
The comfortable alternative to high heels and pumps are kitten heels. For a timeless wardrobe, opt for sleek pumps with a kitten heel. They provide a slight lift without sacrificing comfort and enhance your silhouette with instant elegance.  

Suede flats
Simple, sophisticated, and effortlessly elegant, suede pumps may not be the flashiest choice, but they’re a versatile foundation for countless outfits. Think of them as the white T-shirt of footwear—understated yet endlessly wearable. When designed well, they become a go-to pair you’ll reach for time and time again. Now that’s a true wardrobe staple.

 Retro sneakers
These sneakers are characterized by their slim profiles, rounded toe caps, and overall clean, minimalist design. They effortlessly blend nostalgia with modern street style, making them a versatile choice for both casual and trendy outfits. Whether paired with jeans, skirts, or even dresses, retro sneakers add a cool, laid-back vibe to any look.
