Ready for a fresh batch of shoe trends? As we dive into 2021, it’s only natural that we discuss the upcoming styles that will dominate for the year ahead.
There are several shoes we’re not about to see a ton of this year, such as tall heels, but taking their places are new styles are retro sneakers, flatforms, and even the clogs, which prove comfort and style can go hand in hand.
Over the next 12 months, prepare to see more of the following seven shoe trends.
Sneakers
Throwback sneakers are trendy this year. With gummy tread soles and neutral suede fabrics, these are set to be the biggest sneaker trend of the year.
Clogs
Love them or hate them, the clogs are having a moment right now. The footwear is presented in various cool styles such as cow print clogs to patent leather.
Tricky toes
The footwear has been spotted on the S/S 2021 runways at Acne Studios, Khaite, and plenty of others, which proves that it’s one to watch out for.
Men’s wear-inspired
Maybe it’s because the footwear adds a polished vibe to any outfit, or many because they’re practical and easy to wear, whatever the reason, loafers, oxfords, and brogues are the dominating flat shoe trend of the moment.
Fun flatform
Platform flip-flops trended in the early 2000s. The fun platform is like the elevated version of those retro sandals with cushy soles and extra-wide straps.
Chunky boots
Lug soles are the new name for the chunky boots right now and these knee-high versions feel completely fresh. The magic for these boots lies with leather jackets and leggings, or with skinny jeans tucked in.
Cozy slippers
Cozy slippers, these shoes kept many comfortable last year, and now it’s about to serve their purpose all the way through 2021 as well with luxurious updates like faux fur and pretty pastel tones.
