You’ve probably been eyeing those shoes on the runway shows worn by fashionable bloggers, celebrities and street style stars. You take a screenshot and favourited them. And then you browse through Net-a-porter, adding those shoes to your virtual shopping cart BUT you ain’t got the money to buy them all. Bummer. So what do you do? Don’t just sit there and wallow in tears…get cracking and look for the next best alternative: the less expensive versions of those luxury shoes! Our solution, you guessed it, Zara. Our go-to fast fashion retailer that never fails to keep us up to date with high-fashion’s latest trends. So we thought that we should highlight some of the key shoe trends that you should look out for the next time you head to Zara. Without further ado, here’s a compilation of every it-girl’s must-haves:
Pearl embellished shoes:
As seen on Gucci and Miu Miu, pearls are adorned everywhere, from accessories to bags and of course, shoes. What’s not to love about milky pearlescent balls? These shoes are definitely a statement piece that will instantly upgrade the look of any outfit. We would style them with a simple outfit so they take center stage or pair them with a tweed jacket. Tweed and pearls ALWAYS go together.
All things satin:
Satin is one of 2017’s biggest trends and while a pair of Gianvito Rossi satin sandals can set you back at $800, get yours from Zara for only $80. Given the silkiness of the satin material itself, it already looks expensive. These sandals are perfect for the beach and especially since summer holidays are finally kicking in, it’s a legit excuse to get yourself a pair.
V-neck detail:
Not a fan of V-neck t-shirts? Well, they are moving on to heels and we are absolutely loving it. Not only is it modern and classy, it actually has a slimming effect on the feet. Big brand names such as Céline, Stella McCartney and Lanvin all have pumps with the v-neck cut so these are definitely going into our shopping cart.
Slingback kitten heels:
Yes yes, I’m sure you’ve seen the oh so famous J’dior slingback heels and the classic Chanel slingbacks all over Instagram. So easy to slip on and goes well with any outfit from jeans to formal wear, slingbacks are an essential for the confident woman.
Scrunchies:
Is it a ballet pump or is it a scrunchie heel? Whatever it’s called, we want one! They look feminine and elegant without giving you the blisters. The Céline one’s are perfect but we’ve got bills to pay, sister! Instead, opt for Zara’s gathered leather heels or these stretch sneakers:
Jewel-embellished sneakers:
As mentioned earlier, satin is one of the hottest trends right now. Add jewels onto it and you might just feel like a queen. Roger Vivier’s Sneaky Viv’ in Silk is on everyone’s wishlist but till our imaginary big fat paycheck comes in, Zara also offers a variety of satin and jewel combo shoes ranging from heels to sneakers and even those that incorporate the slingback trend!
With the launch of Zara’s online store in Singapore, it’s so much easier to scroll through the endless designs of shoes they offer. Well, take it easy and don’t burn a hole in your wallet, girls!
