#TheDailyShoe Weekly / 19th November

Every Tuesday on Instagram (because SHOESday!) I share my edit of the freshest boots, sneakers, sandals and boots that are new in store and now, if you miss the Stories, you can find them here!

Although none of us need new shoes and we are all shopping responsibly (aren’t we?) I still wanted to flag my favourites in case you do happen to be considering a new purchase - or need some inspiration for second hand searches.

I’ve also added the ultimate item to wear with each piece, because working out which heel heights and hem lengths go together is something I’m always asked about… This should demystify the process of styling up your shoes - whether they’re new ones from my edit or existing pairs from your own wardrobe!

Teal blue mock-croc square toe boots, £65, Topshop

I’m always drawn to boots in any shade other than black… wear with a midi-skirt in a contrasting shade for extra interest.

Diamante bow suede court shoes, £85, & Other Stories

The way to make a classic court shoe look fresh is to team them with super sheer tights… wear with these

Gold flat leather slingbacks, £495, Rupert Sanderson

For very fancy evening events I think the freshest look is to wear flats with a floor skimming skirt (like this one) and a crisp white shirt.

Olive insulated hiker boots, £125, Hunter

Seeing wellies on city streets always looks incongruous - it’s never THAT wet! These will keep you warm and have a waterproof sole - they look way cooler than traditional wellies too. Wear with leggings to tuck into the boots - faux leather (like these) would be ideal to add extra edge and keep you dry.

Chunky velvet star embellished mules, £35, Asos

Exactly what I would have spent my Saturday job money on in the Nineties. Wear with a slip dress to keep the retro mood alive.

Pink satin crystal embellished sandals, £775, Nicholas Kirkwood

A classic party sandal, elevated with that sculptural heel, shocking pink satin and jewelled detail, deserves an equally showstopping dress. A cool metallic (like silver) works brilliantly but try red, orange or emerald green for a considered colour clash.

Black quilted leather and gold tone courts, £775, Bottega Veneta

With Daniel Lee at the helm, everything he’s touched at Bottega Veneta has turned to gold. Show off the fact you’re wearing one of the shoes of the season with slim fitting trousers that finish at the ankle, like these.

Pink velvet slippers, £335, Le Monde Beryl

Playing with contrasts is an old stylist’s trick so pair the luxurious velvet and sleek tassels with tough, workday denim jeans and a blazer to pull it all together.

Wool and leather trimmed boots, £700, Gucci

As logomania refuses to go away these cosy boots are the epitome of the trend. Wear with chunky ribbed tights and a cord miniskirt for a casual feel.

Red leather ankle wrap mules, £875, Balenciaga

I’ve noticed lots of these wide wrap ankle ties at the moment and they are going to continue through to Spring. Show off these shoes with a neat pencil skirt to echo the shoes strictness and keep it below the knee to make your look remain in proportion.
