Trend Alert: Patterned Shoes
It’s likely that your feet have been spending the autumn/winter months hiding away from the cold inside a pair of black or brown boots. It is therefore no surprise that as the weather starts to warm and the trees begin to green the shoe world undergoes a transformation of its own… Patterns are back!

Patterned shoes look effortlessly chic when worn with jeans and can add a sense of personality to the plainest of denim. Patterned shoes are a trend that can be worn by all ages and can easily adapt to accommodate a wide range of styles. Look out for more unusual patterns to add a new lease of life to this well-worn trend and truly make it your own. Mosaic effects are a fantastic way to add an extra dimension to any patterned shoe that will also elevate your shoes from functional footwear to wearable works of art.
“Florals for spring and nautical stripes for summer are easily some of the safest predictions to make when it comes to seasonal trend forecasting.”

Patterns On The Runway
Patterns featured heavily in the SS17 collections of many designers with the likes of Givenchy and Prada championing a retro 70s take on floral. Marc Jacobs showed a range of patchwork designs that highlights how great pattern clashing and vintage miss-matching can look. Chic polka dots were also a big feature of Dior and Dolce and Gabbana’s ranges. So who are we to argue?! Patterned shoes are definitely a must have look this season!
