Even though we are still slapping on the sun cream and dreaming of jetting off on our holidays the catwalks are already turning their attentions to autumn.
Throughout the summer months we have been happily going around in our flip-flops and sandals but with autumn comes a minefield of new shoe fashions.
So whether you are going out with the girls or looking for a new workwear look, Greenwich Shopping Park has got the perfect guide on how to put your best foot forward this autumn.
High-heeled hikers
Fashion has gone all outdoorsy this season with the introduction of heeled hiking boots. On chillier days, they make dresses and skirts wearable. They also give polish to jeans and add a down-to-earth feel to more delicate pieces.
We think this heeled lace up boot, £70, from Next (above right) is the perfect way to work this trend.
Top tip: Team these boots with your lighter dresses or skirts to get more wear out of them. Just because the summer sun is disappearing, it doesn’t mean your dresses have to be put away just yet.
Going Dutch
Stand out from the crowd by sporting the new footwear phenomenon that is taking the fashion world by storm – the clog!
What better way to keep your toes warm on the cold autumn days than in a pair of sheepskin-lined clogs. Your feet will not only be cosy but chic as well.
These brown leather and sheepskin clogs, £59.99, from River Island, mean you can walk the pavements knowing you are right on trend.
Top tip: However good you are in walking in heels, clogs are always tricky. Make sure you have a stock of plasters and Scholl party feet, £4.49, to hand, both available from Boots.
All things textured
Put on your blue suede shoes. As well as adding a splash of colour to your wardrobe this autumn, why not try adding some texture as well.
Textured fabrics are all across the high street this season from lace, to sheepskin and suede. We love these navy suede Mary Jane’s, £59.00, from Clarks, their sleek stylish lines and mid-height heel make them a perfect autumn staple for any work wear wardrobe.
Top tip: Why not try teaming with opaque tights and a tea dress for the perfect outfit for a weekend away.
Fit and fabulous
With the kids going back to school, there’s no better time to get back into the fitness regime in preparation for the party season.
Whether you are pounding the pavements or building up a sweat in the gym, you’ll be doing it in style in these hi-tech Nike Air Max Skyline trainers, £79.99, from SportsDirect.com, the ideal incentive for starting a new exercise routine.
Their lightweight fabric and air unit for maximum impact protection are essential in the battle against blisters!
Top tip: If you are going for a run make sure your trainers are half a size bigger to allow for your feet to expand. That way you avoid unsightly bruised toenails!
