Out of All the Designer Shoes, These Are the Ones Fashion Girls Are Wearing

by Harriet Davey

Shoes, shoes, shoes—we can't get enough of them. So much so that if we tallied up all the pairs the Who What Wear editors own, we would most definitely need a calculator. There are so many new shoe trends breaking out for autumn/winter, we've already taken it upon ourselves to highlight the top 10 new-season styles as a handy guide. Of course, we're a fan of high-street favourites, as are influencers who have been sporting the Zara mules on repeat. But there's something extra special about a designer shoe that gives us the feels.

Unboxing a pair of luxury shoes not only comes with that fresh smell but they also instantly make you want to take care of them like a firstborn wrapped in their logo dust bag. Again, we're not the only ones, as Instagram's most stylish women have been taking to the streets in designer shoes from the likes of Prada, Bottega Veneta (you know the ones), Gucci and Dior. Luckily, we've found the exact pairs every cool girl is wearing, and you can see discover them all right now. Happy scrolling and shopping!

Style Notes: Mixing different shades of green is the way to wear this season. We love the Wandler shoes as much as we do the bags.

Staud Wedges

Style Notes: Staud single-handedly bought the wedge back, and we approve. Style with sleek separates to keep them grown up.

Dior Kitten Heel

Style Notes: Logomania will stay strong thanks to Dior. Make like Maria and style chic courts with a casual cool-girl ensemble.

Bottega Veneta Sandals

Style Notes: They're so popular that it's basically like snagging a golden ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when you get a pair. Be quick.

Gucci Loafers

Style Notes: Renowned for loafers, naturally Gucci has dropped fresh pairs. Style a chunky pair with a floral frock for a high-low look.

The Row Sandals

Style Notes: Taking barely there sandals to new dreamy heights, The Row took the crown for the perfect pair and so it continues. Style with prints aplenty just like Polliani.

Manolo Blahnik Mules

Style Notes: These embellished mules have basically become a classic. Not just for party season, use them to update a simple shirt-and-trousers combo.

Prada Mules

Style Notes: With the success of the Prada platforms comes another winning pair: the curved mule. Add them to any outfit to make it 100 times chicer.
