It Sneaker: Retro Trainers by New Balance, Vince and VEJA
The it sneaker right now is a retro style trainer, like the New Balance 327 Low Top and the Vince Mojave Trainer. I gathered the trending retro pairs I would actually wear, from New Balance to Veronica Beard.
Red and Camel Outfits: Red Knits, Camel Coats, Shoes and Bags
A red and camel outfit pairs a red knit or skirt with a camel coat or blazer, finished with red and camel shoes and bags. I sorted the red pieces, the camel coats and separates, and the shoes and bags that tie the two together.
Etro Collaboration: Birkenstock by Etro Clogs, Sandals and Cape
The Etro collaboration with Birkenstock first appeared on the runway at Milan Fashion Week for Etro's Fall/Winter 2026 show. I gather every piece of the drop, plus new-in Etro dresses and skirts that suit the taupe and chocolate palette.
Black and Cream Outfits for Fall
Black and cream outfits for fall come down to cream knits and silk, black pants and skirts, and shoes and bags in both. I go through the cream pieces, the black pieces and a simple swap of white for cream.
Looking for the Most Comfortable Heels? Start With the Block, Not the Stiletto
Heel comfort used to be treated as a myth, something you traded away for height and shape. The most comfortable heels now come from brands that engineered the footbed and heel geometry for standing time, from cushioned block heels to low St. Agni mules and kitten heels built for a workday.
Chunky Loafers Won the Flat Shoe Argument
Chunky loafers replaced the thin, delicate penny loafer as the default smart-casual flat, mostly on the strength of a lug sole borrowed from hiking boots. The eight pairs here show how wide that category has already gotten, from a slim classic silhouette on a thick sole to a fully studded leather version. The sole is doing more work than people give it credit for.
Funky heel
Not your everyday heels, but wedges, sculpted mules and flower and heart details with a touch of fun. For anyone who wants her shoes to be the outfit.
Mach & Mach
Mach & Mach was founded in 2012 in Tbilisi, Georgia, by sisters Nina and Gvantsa Macharashvili, and today it works between Tbilisi and Milan. Its signature is the Double Bow, which the sisters say stands for their sisterhood and looks like an infinity symbol, and everything is made in Italy. This edit gathers crystal-covered pumps, Le Cadeau bow sandals, mules, ballet flats, boots and a few pieces in the same spirit.
Manolo Moments
Pointed mules, slingbacks and satin heels in reds, browns and neutrals. It is for anyone who wants a few shoes that make a plain outfit feel finished.
A little wedge
A little wedge for every dress and pair of jeans, from snake print to gold to black strappy. This is for anyone who wants height without giving up comfort.
Metallic Pumps
Metallic pumps, slingbacks and strappy heels in silver, gold and champagne. It is for anyone who wants one shiny pair that dresses up simple outfits.
Pop of Patent
Glossy patent shoes and bags for anyone who wants one shiny piece to carry an outfit. Wear it with denim, tailoring or a plain tee.
Proper Footing
A tight edit of loafers, Chelsea boots, lace-up boots and leather sneakers for men who like well made shoes. Each pair works with jeans, chinos and suiting.
Buckled Boots
Structured boots in dark leather and suede finished with buckles, straps and metal hardware. For anyone who wants shoes that give an outfit some edge.
The Slingback Strut
Slingback heels and kitten heels, from classic black leather to navy suede, cream cap toes and a few bolder prints. They are for anyone who wants a shoe that is easy to walk in and still looks sharp.
The Lug-Sole Shoe: Polished Loafers, Square-Toe Mules and Boots
This edit gathers lug-sole loafers, square-toe mules, flatforms and ankle boots in polished leather, suede and shearling. I would start with the sole, then check the fit and finish.
Chanel Rain Boots: How a Countryside Walk Ended Up on the Runway
Chanel rain boots started as a runway idea about muddy countryside walks, and pre-owned pairs are still out there. Here are more than forty real secondhand Chanel pairs, plus sixteen rain boots from other designers for when your size is gone.
Rothy's Shoes: Knit Flats, Loafers and Mary Janes Worth Knowing
A look at Rothy's shoes, the San Francisco brand that knits its uppers from recycled water bottle thread. I go through the flats, the loafers and drivers, and the Mary Janes, clogs, sneakers and sandals.
Chanel Loafers: What Kristen Stewart Wore Instead of the Two-Tone Heels
Chanel loafers are the easiest way into the house's shoes, and these are all pre-owned. Here are sixteen pairs, from quilted and platform to charm-trimmed and vintage, with a simple fit test to run at home.
The Sculptural Heel: Pointed Pumps, Metal Caps and Strappy Sandals
This edit covers sculptural-heel pumps, metal-toe pumps, platform strappy sandals, suede pointed pumps and black patent slingbacks. I would start with the heel shape and check the toe and seams before anything else.
Hermès Sandals: The H That Began With Three Straps
Hermès sandals, from Oran and Chypre slides to espadrille wedges, flat sandals and mules, make this edit about shape rather than one famous H. I explain how I would size a pre-owned pair and what I would inspect before wearing it.
Cowboy Boots, Three Ways: Tall Tassels, Ankle Booties and Suede with Stitching
A guide to cowboy boots in three groups: tall and knee high pairs, ankle boots and booties, and suede, snake and embroidered styles. I talk through the history behind the shape, how each pair wears and what to leave on the shelf.
Nike Air Max: From the Air Max 90 to Dn8, a Sneaker Born From a Paris Building
The Nike Air Max began with a trip to the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and this edit sorts Air Max 90, Air Max 95, Air Max Plus, Dn8 and Muse pairs by how they wear. I say when I would reach for each one and what to check before you lace up.
