An Ode to Patent Boots

Wear with: everything.

We’re shining into the new season like a diamond. Never underestimate the power of casting a new light over the classic boot. It can be the tiniest details that make your favourite silhouette feel sparkly and new. Suddenly on our radar is fancy patent footwork. Remix the classic ankle boot in a black gloss or get wild with a glazed croc emboss. No longer saved just for after-dark, this Matrix-inspired sheen is now daily-grind appropriate.

Whether you’re feeling like the high-knee, cowboy, square toe or funky zip – a cosmic glow looks good on all shoe moods. Worn with anything from off-duty denim to floral midi dresses. Warm up even the coldest days by enriching your chunky heel in earthy colours that match your Malbec. A patent burgundy or chocolate boot is this season’s ultra-sweet update. Super cosy worn with a textured off-white ensemble like a shearling jacket and cream utility pants. If you can’t go past the cult black boot then turn it up a notch by contrasting your shiny shoes with a colourful boho maxi skirt and a neutral chunky knit (party pouch optional). And don’t think for one second that the white boot trend is immune, cream was made to glisten. We love a sci-fi western cut. Ways to integrate are endless. With stars in our eyes and gloss on our feet, the winter doldrums are obsolete. High beam from the ground up.
