As the new year begins,
the who's who of designer brands are back to claim their spot for the seasons ahead. The lace-up trend is back, by way of the wedge sandal and ballet flat. Sky-high platform sandals are also in the forefront, along with the ever popular
"it" sneaker. While Adidas reigns supreme, Golden Goose is offering a variety of distressed styles sure to catch the eye of many a fashion lover.
Net-a-porter put together a list of some items which they deem "
the thing," for the upcoming season. To that, I've added accessories from
Chloé,
Gucci, and more.

THE GAME CHANGER:
Loewe’s V Bucket bag
Thanks to the wizardry of
J.W.Anderson, Loewe is fast becoming
the go-to brand for cult bags, this season adding the V Bucket bag to
the feted Puzzle. These aren’t one-
season-and-they’re-over designs, though; they are future heirlooms, pieces that feel modern, but which you’ll be as excited to carry in a decade as you are now.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK:
A sleek backpack
We’re not talking commuter-style hiking rucksacks here, thank goodness. These pieces by New York accessories label Kara are sleek and slick minimalist affairs, brilliantly combining the practical (hands-free, just big enough to
hold everything you need) with enough sporty sophistication to ensure that yours will be the talk
of the office.

THE QUEUE JUMP:
A modern bomber
True, the bomber has been back in fashion’s cross hairs for a while now, but this season designers
have moved on from simply recreating the classic to reinventing it entirely. See 3.1 Phillip Lim’s sheer version or Sacai’s ribbed military take
for proof. It’s at its best paired
with polished pieces, so try layering yours over mid-length skirts or dresses.

THE NAME TO KNOW:
Martiniano
After a couple of seasons bubbling under the radar, the glove shoe – that low-heeled, elasticated
leather slip-on that teeters on the
edge of ugly – is about to have its moment, and Martiniano is who you’ll want to buy yours from. The Argentinian label, founded in 2011 by pop star Martiniano Lopez Crozet (one half of performance-
art duo Los Super Elegantes), is carving out a niche with
minimalist, modern shoes
handcrafted in Buenos Aires.
Will they divide opinion? Probably. Will you love them anyway? Without a doubt.

THE LOOK:
The cropped flare
Wipe that skeptical look off your face – the cropped flare is about to be the pant shape you most want to put on in the morning. Every morning. Hitting just above the ankle, it’s surprisingly flattering and more practical than its floor-grazing ancestor. Style with a trophy jacket and vintage-style block heels for new-season perfection personified.
|
|
THE STYLING TRICK:
Belt bags
The thinking woman’s take on –
well, we can’t bring ourselves to
say the words. But trust us, the belt
bag is a thing apart, with plenty of
functional appeal and a
bucketload of contemporary style. If you really want to go places with this trend then you could layer up and wear two, but make sure you don’t overload it – this is all about refusing to be weighed down.
|
|
THE FOREVER PIECE:
A leopard coat
Do you have one in your wardrobe already? No? Well, snap one up, pronto. Why? Because the thing about leopard is that even if print and color aren’t your thing, it works. It looks so great mixed in with black, gray and navy basics that it could almost be considered a neutral. Not to mention that
it’s a trend constant – buy one now and you’ll be (gleefully) wearing
it forever.

Christopher Kane's Cult Sneakers
You could recognize these sneakers as Christopher Kane’s handiwork at 20 paces, couldn’t you? It’s the buckle fastenings – the Scottish designer’s signature since his debut collection – combined with trademark flashes of neon. True, they are not as wear-with-anything as a pair of white Adidas Stan Smiths, but then these are statement-makers rather than staples, and even more desirable because of it |
