What's New from Chloé's Winter 2026
Chloé Winter 2026 brings lace-trimmed ready-to-wear, Paddington and Marcie bags in new leathers, tailored jackets and shearling-lined boots. I sort the new arrivals by clothing, bags, jackets and shoes.
Kitten-Heel Boots
A low heel that walks all day
Best Flat Shoes
The best flat shoes stay comfortable all day without pinching, slipping or dragging, from the ATP Atelier Forcola to a velvet Stubbs & Wootton slipper. I sorted them by how well they let the day continue.
Sandal Survival Guide
Sandals that survive a whole day come down to a flat you can walk in and a heel that behaves. I sort the Cult Gaia pairs and others into flats, heels and raffia styles, then end with a shopping list.
K Jacques St Tropez Sandals: Leather and Nubuck Thong Styles
K Jacques St Tropez sandals bring the Saint-Tropez original into focus, with pared-back shapes made for long summer days. The sandal is the subject rather than a decorative detour, so a clean arrangement of straps has to hold the foot, sit securely, and leave the outfit room to breathe. This edit follows that directness through the range's straps, finishes, and prints.
Jude Shoes: Leather Ankle Boots, Knee Boots and Pumps
Jude shoes bring sculptural polish to everyday dressing, from confident boots and pumps to clean-lined sandals made for a considered wardrobe.
Dolce Vita Mary Janes: Plus Boots, Flats, Sneakers and Mules
Dolce Vita Mary Janes sit with the ballet flats and loafers in this guide to the brand's Lower East Side start. I also go through the boots and booties, sneakers, pumps and mules worth knowing.
Boot Season: Knee-High, Ankle and Western Boots to Wear
Boot season runs from the first cool morning to the deepest cold, and knee-high, ankle and western boots are all in play. I collect the pairs I would live in, from UGG minis to Prada shearling-trimmed boots.
Shearling Boots With Straight Jeans: Snow, Ankle and Suede Pairs
Shearling boots with straight jeans make a look that reads deliberate, not like a house shoe. I paired shearling and faux fur boots, from ankle to knee height, in leather and suede, with straight leg denim.
Suede Bags: Totes, Shoulder Bags and Top Handles for Fall
Suede bags have become the default autumn accessory, from slouchy shoulder bags to totes and top handles. I go through the bags I would carry first, then the shoes that follow.
Flat Shoes Trend: Loafers, Ballet Flats and Slides to Wear
The flat shoes trend this season covers Tony Bianco loafers, slingbacks, ballet flats and mesh styles, plus slides, mules and espadrilles. I went through the pairs I would wear all week, starting with the loafer.
Margaux Shoes: Flats, Loafers and Pumps From One Ballet Flat
A look at Margaux shoes, from the brand's start with one ballet flat in 2015 to the loafers, Mary Janes, pumps and sandals it makes now. We go through neutral flats, wine, petal and animal print flats, and the dressier styles.
What to Wear on a Rainy Fall Day
What to wear on a rainy fall day: a trench, a dark knit, dark jeans and boots that can take a puddle. I pair trenches from DÔEN, Toteme and Gucci with dark knits, then finish with boots and a tote.
Quiet Luxury Shoes
Quiet luxury shoes skip the logo and rely on materials, like suede slingback flats from Brunello Cucinelli and Toteme suede thong sandals. I picked flats, loafers and sandals where the make does the talking.
Black Jeans, Dressed Up
Black jeans dress up with silk, cashmere or a blazer on top, then heels and a small bag for the evening. I start with the jeans in every shape and build the night out from there.
Legres Boots: London Label Made in Italy by Anonymous Founders
Legres launched in London in 2019 from three co-founders who chose to stay anonymous, letting the boots, made in Italy over a year of development, do the talking instead. This edit lines up the current range of Chelsea boots, ankle boots and loafers so the differences in shape and material are easy to compare.
Comfortable Heels Exist, and They Are Mostly Under Three Inches
Yes, comfortable heels exist: under about three inches the foot stays in a position it can sustain, and a wide base spreads the load. I look at height, toe shape and kitten heels from By Far, Cult Gaia and Isabel Marant.
Loewe Winter Collection: Fall/Winter Knitwear, Bags and Jackets
The Loewe winter collection is its newest Fall/Winter line of ready-to-wear, handbags, jackets and shoes, led by knitwear and bags. I sort the pieces into clothing, bags and outerwear built for actual winter.
Khaite Boots: Shaft Height, Calf Width and Comfort
Khaite navy boots start with the Clive Ankle Boot in Midnight Navy Suede, one of the ankle and knee-high styles I compare. I go through shaft height, calf width and comfort so you know how each pair fits.
How to Wear Satin During the Day
To wear satin during the day, pair satin skirts, pants and shirts with knits, denim and flat shoes. I add satin shoes and bags, and notes on what feels right on a weekday, not just at a party.
Ancient Greek Sandals: Two Designers and Their Leather Sandals
Ancient Greek Sandals started in 2012 when Christina Martini and Nikolas Minoglou began making sandals in factories in Greece instead of selling the tourist version to visitors in Athens. Notes on the leather sandals, flats, mules and jellies that came out of that idea, and how to pick between them.
Fall Boots: What Separates a Good Pair From a Mediocre One
Fall boots split into two real categories: a clean leather shaft built for dry pavement and a lugged sole built for wet or rough ground. The choice matters more than color or brand once the weather turns unpredictable in early fall. This edit compares knee-high and ankle styles side by side so the shaft fit and sole grip, not the silhouette alone, decide which pair earns a spot in rotation.
Fendi Winter Collection: Dresses, Baguettes and Jackets in Stock
The Fendi winter collection here covers the newest Fall/Winter ready-to-wear, handbags, jackets and shoes. I go through the formal dresses, the Baguette and Peekaboo bags, and the jackets.
Hunter Boots for Women: Tall, Short, Chelsea and Puffer Styles
A guide to Hunter boots for women, from the tall and short rain boots to the Chelsea styles and the puffer booties. I cover the brand's story, how each shape wears, and how to choose one.
