The New Year, despite the fact that it pleased us with unique offers, will in many ways remain classic. Many of our favorite closed-toe shoe styles will still be around: the classics synonymous with this time of year—knee-high boots, loafers—are here to stay.
Y2K nostalgia continues to influence our fashion choices, with more and more long-forgotten trends enjoying a renaissance. Mules and clogs are back in a big way, reimagined in candy colors, ultra-shiny polish and fuzzy shearling, while classic stiletto boots are also making a comeback. For those who don't like stilettos, 2023 will be all about architectural heels. Often large and clunky (in the best sense of the word), they are definitely focused on comfort.
Mary Jane
Yes, the classics are coming back, and no, not in the form you remember from your school days.The Dear Frances style is sleek and sophisticated, with a slim ankle strap and slightly flared block heel for everyday comfort. And in 2023, we'll be trading in our bulky, heavy loafers for sleeker, more streamlined versions of the style.
Western boot
If there was one shoe trend that dominated the summer of 2022, it was cowboy boots. A quick scroll through our social feeds (or just a trip outside) proved that rodeo boots have been the go-to shoe of choice for stylish girls, easily pairing with warm-weather favorites like the slip dress and miniskirt for a modern take on American style.
The trend is still going strong, now paired with fitted trousers or sweeping midi dresses. If you're not ready to commit to real cowboy boots, try going for a more modest option. Think black ankle boots with a pointed toe and signature Western V-shape. In 2023, its English relative will appear - a boot with a closed top. Sleek and streamlined, closed-top boots add elegance to any outfit.
Architectural heels
Over the past few years, heels have risen to new heights and are becoming more and more bulky (though they're still not classic platforms). It's only natural that the next iteration for 2023 will feature heels with interesting shapes. These can be unique architectural figures or simply pyramids that have a thickening at the bottom.
Shaggy clogs
These versions of "outdoor slippers" have become widespread thanks to our new, remote lifestyle. Fur, fluffy, cropped (or even closed) clogs are especially popular now.They are cozy and comfortable, like slippers that you can wear at home.
Stiletto heels
As designers learn to enjoy heels again after years of flats, we're not surprised to see the return of the stiletto, a '90s classic. We love how Dear Frances has reimagined this style in a very modern green crocodile texture. At the same time, variations can be absolutely anything - from huge heights to small comfortable heels for working in the office all day.
Another trend for next fall is bright colors, and here we are not talking about the now classic camel, sand or terracotta shades. Perhaps it is in 2023 that you will find a place in your wardrobe for the most colorful pair of shoes.
