SHOE TREND: Corky, Clumpy and Cloggy went to market...




There’s a new set of shoes on the street this season ladies. It’s time to forget about the death-defying heels you’ve been use to breaking leg and limb in as a new wave of pragmatism sets in...
Everyone from Chanel to Celine and Stella McCartney was seen introducing a touch of sense and sensibility in to their S/S 2010 collections with flower accent clogs, 70’s inspired wedgies and clumpy platforms.
Embrace this trend head on. Why? Well, not only does a sturdy platform offer comfortable height factor (no more teetering on tip-toes, it’s all equally balanced weight in the world of clump); stiletto peep-toes in winter are SO not cool, while open-toe wedges look seriously stylish worn with chunky socks and knitted tights; spine-crippling six inchers can look garishly glam while a clumpy clog is boho/garden-fairy friendly.
You get the idea? It’s the old cliché of less is more only there’s nothing less just a hell of alot more....
Trot to the high street now where Topshop have been quick to pick up on this trend with their Lottie clog (middle), Nine West have some colourful cork peep-toes on offer (bottom) at Kurt Geiger while Jimmy Choo's Urban clog sandal (top) at net-a-porter.com is perfect for those city clompers.
