Clarks, Ecco, Gabor and more are illuminating the catwalk in shimmering shades of silver, gold and bronze for Spring/Sumer ‘16.
Metallic shoes are back in a big way this season. We’re backing silver because it’s the coolest and easiest to wear; unlike gold or bronze, silver is a neutral.
Metallic fabrics may not be the most cutting-edge materials in development today, but it wasn’t so long ago that shimmering silver represented the very height of futuristic fashion. Weren’t we all going to be wearing silver spacesuits in our flying cars by now? Well, it’s 2016 and while we’re not zipping from planet to planet in our personal spaceships just yet, one thing’s for sure: silver shades are definitely in our fashion future.
Silver shoes work with everything. Everything! Because they’re a neut … OK, OK, we won’t say it again. Grey and white both look great, while more confident dressers might go crazy and add a splash of yellow, cobalt or beige. Black will really make your silver shoes pop; it tends to make silver look much more stark, so save it for evenings – you don’t want to blind people.
Ecco have struck the perfect balance with these classic sneakers given extra pizazz. An amazing metallic upper, a pop of contrasting colour: just the thing to add a little something extra special to tried-and-tested classics. Team with a sporty backpack for the ultimate laid-back luxe look.
The Fitflip Aix slides are the pair to be seen in this summer, and you’ll almost be able to see yourself in their mirror-shine finish.
The sneaker silhouette isn’t going anywhere – its indisputable versatility & instant coolness are irreplaceable. This crackled metallic Marco Tozzi pair provide hard to beat trendsetter status & ultimate comfort at the same time.
Silver isn’t taking second place this season, so snap up your silver shoes soon!
