Extravagant yet wearable footwear, coming right up. Pointy Ice Things
The Resort season is considered to be somewhat of the oddball in fashion's family. Debuting in early summer, the collections are offered in the interim between the fall and spring showings that define the industry calendar. As such, it's when designers prophesize the winter trends, ranging from practical pieces fit to withstand cold temps to vacation-ready styles for when goddamn, you just really need some sunshine on your skin. And specifically in terms of footwear, the shoe trends for winter 2022-2023 cater to every possible need you'll have in the coming season.
Whether you'll be fleeing to a warm-weather locale and require a sandal for the occasion or need a new hard-working snow boot (opens in new tab) to help you navigate city sludge, scroll onward to peruse the trending shoes. Maybe even add a pair or two to your virtual cart to get a head start on the soon-to-be-everywhere styles for winter 2022-2023.
As temperatures begin to plummet, brands such as Interior, Chloé, and Christian Dior invite you to slip into gear with lace-up knee-high boots as part of your winter wardrobe. Consider opting for a pair with dramatic, front-and-center lacing that's reminiscent of a traditional combat boot. Or, for a more unconventional alternative, try a business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back style that sutures up the calf.
Add a touch of girlish flair to your shoe lineup this winter, and opt for a pair adorned with bows. As seen with Giambattista Valli, Moschino, and Paco Rabanne's offerings, bow platform heels, statement mules, or pointed-toe flats make for darling party shoes.
Shoes With Traction You've brushed up on 2022's denim trends. You know baggy jeans long ago usurped skinny silhouettes, Julia Fox reinvented the Canadian tuxedo, and that 2022 demonstrates a renewed interest in the jean jacket. But the Resort 2023 season adds one more denim trend to the mix: Shoes made of (or closely resembling) the material. Both Isabel Marant and Diesel leaned into the unconventional nature of the concept with denim statement boots, while Etro opted for a more demure manifestation of blue-washed and weathered leather sandals.
