I swear, if I laid out all 60-ish pairs of sneakers in my jam-packed closet, 80% of them could be black. That is practically 50 pairs of black sneakers, which I will be the primary to confess shouldn’t be regular. I am going to nonetheless attempt to justify it although. You see, I used to be at all times taught that if you happen to’re shopping for one thing you need to personal for a very long time and get lots of put on out of, you must put money into the black choice as a result of it is versatile, traditional, and general simply simpler than extra standout shades.
Whereas I can nonetheless considerably agree with this mentality, I now know that some selection is required in my present shoe rotation. And after seeing Hailey Bieber’s newest outfit, I’ve a good suggestion of one other timeless and stylish impartial to start out my search with.
On Hailey Bieber: Saint Laurent Trench Coat in Twill ($5300); Bottega Veneta Easy Leather-based Massive Hop ($4900); Miu Miu Suede Penny Loafers ($1170)
Bieber was noticed over the weekend sporting a really her outfit, a.okay.a. an outsized piece of Saint Laurent outerwear paired with socks and loafers. Tiny, wire-rim sun shades and a giant leather-based bag completed off the signature Hailey Bieber street-style look. The colour of her loafers, although, is what actually stood out to me, feeling completely different than what I often see the mannequin and entrepreneur in. On her toes had been a pair of suede Miu Miu loafers, not in black, brown, or burgundy, however in navy blue, one among *the* colours of fall 2024.
Bottega Veneta, Carven, Bevza, Altuzarra, Alaïa, Chloé, and extra all integrated navy blue extra typically than standard of their F/W 24 collections, pushing it as the proper, just-as-chic different for black this season. Ferragamo, Alaïa, and Miu Miu went even additional to supply navy blue choices in a few of their most sought-after footwear silhouettes. And with influential celebrities like Bieber backing the colour pattern in a serious approach, I can solely assume that extra shoppable variations are en path to shops as we communicate.
Get in on the pattern early by procuring my favourite navy blue loafers and extra beneath. And watch this area. There’ll little question be much more scrumptious footwear obtainable later this fall.
