Chunky Boots
It’s no secret that designers and fashion followers alike have an undying love affair with the chunky shoe. A style that was shunned for years in favour of its simpler, daintier cousin, the chunky dad sneaker made an unprecedented comeback in the way of the Balenciaga Triple S – capturing the hearts of street style connoisseurs the world over, as did the Chanel velcro-strap sandals this past summer. Cult-favourite designer brands The Row and Bottega Veneta are leading the trend back around, providing us with the perfect excuse to keep the chunky shoe alive as the mercury drops.

Square-Toe Boots
The square-toe trend is by no means new, with the unique design defining our summer heels (you know, those Bottega Veneta's). But, while it's too chilly to bare our feet, the trend has moved on to the boot department gifting us with a fun way of upgrading our winter wardrobe. Fashion houses like Loewe have gone a step further, mixing in colours and detailings to give the trend a new edge.
