The world of shoes is as varied as that of clothing, and perhaps this is the reason why every woman finds herself staring at her wardrobe (in this case, her shoe rack), thinking: ‘I have nothing to wear ‘.
Let’s face it, we’ve all been there. If you want to prevent this from happening, you must have jolly models to play on every occasion and with every outfit. These are the most classic shoes, the ones that were fashionable yesterday, and that will be tomorrow too. Basic and versatile, they are evergreen accessories that every woman should have.
SNEAKERS โ THE MOST COMFORTABLE AND PRACTICAL SHOES
The origin of the sneakers makes us understand how, from the beginning, they had been conceived as ‘comfortable’ shoes. We owe their creation to Native Americans who in the Seventeenth century created latex shoes to completely cover the foot and protect it during hunting or long journeys.
Having become street fashion icons, the sneakers have achieved global success thanks to the NBA, to Michael Jordan and Space Jam, while today they have become a luxury and collector’s accessory from the world of rapper-entrepreneurs like Kanye West with his Yeezys.
Comfortable, versatile and super cool, the sneakers are the shoes that the It-girls wear under a Valentino couture dress with the same nonchalance as when they combine them with a jumpsuit for intercontinental flight.
THE SLINGBACKS ARE THE MOST ELEGANT SHOES EVER
The slingbacks are the classic low-heeled shoes, open on the heel and with a lace closure.
Turned into icons by Chanel who created them in the famous color block version beige with the black tip, they have become part of the collections of many designers including Christian Dior.
Today, emerging brands such as Amina Muaddi offer them in new and high-tech materials such as PVC decorated with crystals, in fluorescent colors or 100% transparent.
You can really wear them on everything: with a basic outfit made of jeans and white t-shirt, with an elegant or a mini dress. Casual and elegant at the same time, they are real dream shoes.
PUMPS ARE SUPER SEXY AND FEMALE SHOES
The pumps are the heeled shoes par excellence. They stretch the leg, slim the figure, and make any outfit look elegant.
Thereโs a pair for all tastes: black patent leather, high heel and red sole for the mythical Pigalle by Christian Louboutin, silk with Swarovski for the Hangisi by Manolo Blahnik, and so on and so forth.
Needless to say, every woman should have at least one pair in the closet!
THE COMBAT BOOTS ARE THE MALE SHOES MOST LOVED BY WOMEN
Combat boots are a model of shoes that women have borrowed from the male wardrobe.
Entering the history of fashion as part of the military uniform, the combat boots were then transformed into one of the symbols of the punk movement, and soon they became real must-haves.
Perfect under long dresses, mini dresses and skirts, aggressive and urban if combined with cargo pants or mom jeans, the combat boots are among the most popular evergreen shoes ever!
THE MULES ARE SHOES FOR REAL FASHIONISTAS
Finally, we come to a pair of very popular shoes beloved by all the It-Girls and the most ardent fashionistas: the mules.
They follow the same design as the slingbacks, except that the heel remains completely naked without laces or closures.
Having become an object of desire when Alessandro Michele launched them for Gucci in a total-black version with faux fur lined interior, the mules are ideal for spring and summer, but can also be exploited in cold seasons with super-cute socks or in padded versions under cigarette jeans.
