Shoe Styles for 2013…

Metallics

Since silver and gold metallics are to be found in everything next season – from jewellery to make-up and clothes – metallics are a safe bet when it comes to footwear as well. Whether you’re after the steel-capped brogue or the sequinned stiletto, there are plenty of options to choose from whatever your preference.

Brogues & Oxford Lace-ups

A trend still going strong, the brogue is hear to stay for 2013. Update with a bright colour or printed fabric and it will last you through to high summer. Opt for a neon toe-cap or colour blocking segments in your Oxford Lace-ups for added fun.

Flatforms

Like ’em or loathe ’em, Flatforms are here to stay for next season. Not the most flattering style on everyone, they’re very comfy and great for day time if you’re looking for a bit of lift.
