Sure, London Fashion Week is bursting right now with runway trends for next season – but what about the trends on show courtesy of the street style set outside the shows over the last few days?
While we love little more than looking ahead to the fashion trends set to hit our wardrobes in six months’ time, there’s undoubtedly something to be said for the immediately replicable, current-season looks being debuted by the celebrities, editors, stylists and influencers being photographed outside fashion week’s hottest show spaces.
And one of the looks we couldn’t help but spot on every single front row this season – without fail – was the sharply pointed toe.
While the resurgence of the ballet flat may be encouraging something of a softer, more rounded toe shape to be dominating the flat shoe world right now, there’s no doubt amongst the street style set that the minute you add a little heel to your look it must be accompanied by a pointed toe.
Having been spotted on every AW23 runway, from Loewe and Versace to Prada, Jil Sander, Gucci, 16Arlington, Givenchy, Zimmermann, Saint Laurent, Huishan Zhang and Schiaparelli it may come as no surprise to the more devoted catwalk-fanatics that this 90s silhouette is having a real moment right now, but for those who’ve witnessed the seemingly never-ending heights of the square-toe over recent years this switch may have caught you by surprise.
But, as is being proven right now by fashion week’s best dressed attendees, the pointed toe is nothing to be intimidated by.
In fact, you can wear it quite literally in any way… with your favourite jeans, with tights, with dresses, as a boot, even as a slingback with socks.
Let’s just agree not to focus on the future bunions, okay?
