4 shoe trends to know this season

Autumn always brings a fresh rhythm to footwear. Out go sandals, in come shoes and boots that are both practical and striking.

Here are the four styles set to define the season:

1. Western boots: a perennial autumn returnee, adding attitude whether paired with jeans or flowing dresses.

2. Peep-toe shoes: feminine and unexpected when styled with warmer layers.

3. Chunky-sole boots: tough enough for pavements and park walks, best worn in contrast with softer fabrics or feminine cuts.

4. Platform loafers: a timeless classic with a twist – as comfortable as trainers but smarter, perfect for both office and off-duty.
