Identikit of the next trendy winter shoes: a sporty and feminine mix and match

The shoes for next autumn / winter 2022 want to tell something different, between experimentation, elegance and dynamism.

For next autumn / winter 2022 let's get ready for a revolution in the concept of comfy , to be associated no longer with comfortable and flat shoes like slippers but rather with décolleté ready to transform into sports shoes , with elegant footwear decorated with hi-tech finishes and bands . The winter catwalks, in particular the Parisian ones, showed how the newfound normality inspired stylists and designers the desire to experiment in the shapes and mix the needs that emerged post-pandemic, where the desire is to make comfort coexist with elegance and audacity. A taste that from clothing and accessories also reaches footwear.

Fall / winter 2022 shoes: court shoes become sporty, the biker trend on the Dior catwalk

We have seen the Converse transform into boots, platforms and also into ankle boots with a rubber heel, this time it is the turn of the timeless décolléte, the most feminine shoes ever, to become sporty as happens in the winter collection of Dior, where they paraded décolléte with a square toe and with thin rubber cleat. A striped model in black and white that goes well with a long skirt and a pair of fishnet stockings embroidered with precious applications: mix and match is the secret of the wardrobe of the winter to come.

– But Dior goes even further, also playing with original and unexpected combinations such as a pair of animalier or even classic black patent leather pumps to wear with laces and elastics typical of sports and motorcyclist footwear , combining them with a bon ton sheath dress to be enhanced with a pearl necklace.

Loewe, Balmain, Off-White: plush and denim sneakers, motorcycle boot and flip-flop sneakers

Sneakers also change their connotations decisively: Loewe reinterprets them by modeling soft fabrics such as plush, in fact the effect is that of a sneaker sole with the collar of a pair of winter boots, or by covering them entirely with a denim collage by making a trendy, versatile and eccentric shoe.

But to go beyond all imagination are the models proposed by Balmain , which leave no doubt with their motorcycle details and their bandages on how much the concept of next year's casual footwear will be stolen from the world of sport, and also from Off-White who pushes beyond the design of the sneaker to wear in the city by meeting the design of another comfortable shoe that has always been comfortable, the thong sandals. For next winter, therefore, particular and amazement looks are expected, starting with shoes.
