Sneaking a nose at its primary function, the sneaker leaves the sporty wardrobe to slip into the shoes of seasoned fashionistas . Long rejected by the modosphere for their raw fit, sneakers are now at the top of the list of seasonal essentials. Ideal alternatives to slippers for strolling at home, and the perfect compromise for walking the streets with comfort and panache, sneakers have redefined the notion of chic in no time .
WEDGE SNEAKERS: THE NEW TREND FOR FALL-WINTER 2020?
After the advent of dad shoes , here comes the era of sneakers with mastoc soles. Spotted around Fashion Week catwalks, on Instagram and on the street style playground , wedge sneakers have become the essentials of the season. Confined at home or on city trips, outstanding fashion editors, stylists and influencers take advantage of every opportunity to show off their favorite pieces. Ideal for making us glide a few inches without losing our elegance, platform sneakers are indeed making their comeback. In intense black canvas for Converse , silver at Fila, pop colors for Zadig & Voltaire and minimalist according to Adidas, they will make everyone agree, even the most resistant.
THE FRENCH SNEAKER BRANDS THAT PROVIDE
As for sneakers, France is not left out for all that. As proof, many are the blue white red labels which give back its letters of nobility to this sporty shoe . Among the best known, we find Le Coq Sportif, Lacoste but also the Veja house , whose models brilliantly reconcile the codes of ecology and fair trade. On the sidelines, many Parisian brands are emerging, such as Piola which suggests sneakers that are as ethical as they are comfortable, National Standard which explores casual sneakers, or the Garçonne & Chérubin brand which puts Italian leather in the spotlight through his sneakers as clean as they are colorful.
RIDING BOOTS: THE ULTRA-FASHIONABLE SHOES FOR FALL
Democratized and corrected by Chanel through its fall-winter 2020-2021 collection , then by multiple fashion designers, riding boots show a growth peak of + 783% on the Internet. Not surprisingly, given their stylistic versatility: in smooth leather or suede, camel or black, these chivalrous-looking flat boots allow us to walk the asphalt in style, without tripping. A detail that does not leave fashionistas with busy schedules indifferent, who do not like wasting their time.
HOW TO WEAR RUBBER BOOTS IN THE CITY IN A MORE FASHIONABLE WAY?
Whether you are a fan of dresses or pants, both teams will be served. Because at a time when fashion is taking a turn towards the road of daring and assertiveness, it is no longer a question of limiting oneself to reassuring looks, but rather of experimenting.
Thus, we will pique Emili Sindlev, the idea of associating rubber boots with an oversized turtleneck sweater , an oversized blazer jacket and an it bag worn at arm’s length. Another option? Let yourself be tempted by an overshirt and ribbed-knit dress combo (without tights) to add a touch of glamor to the boots .
For fans of darker looks , we advise you to follow in Carla Ginola’s footsteps, who ideally combines her Zara boots with a faux leather jacket and intense black skinny jeans, or Matilda Djerf who opts for a biker jacket and a pair of dark sunglasses.
And if your thirst for fashion is not satisfied, know that rubber boots match with countless other clothes: the trench coat, the slit skirt , the split pant , the Bermuda shorts… No matter what.
