Debit Vs. Credit: The Shoe Special

It used to be all about the ‘it’ bag each season, but these days, ‘it’ shoes are just as desirable. And yet, for some of us, the likes of Hermès, Chanel and Bottega Veneta are out of reach. Fortunately, the high-street has been quick to come up with their own set of convincing dupes – here are some of the key styles to shop now, and how to get the look for less…

Amina Muaddi Begum 

Despite the chunky, comfy silhouettes that have dominated the last few seasons, Amina Muaddi’s ultra-feminine, acid bright heels have bucked the trend by selling out almost everywhere. If you can’t get your hands on them, Zara and Uterque’s bejewelled styles will help you nail the look. 

Bottega Veneta Heels

There’s not one particular style to reference when it comes to Bottega Veneta, but the brand’s influence on current shoe trends is undeniable – look out for angular heels, square toes, multiple straps and quilting to nod to the label’s ubiquitous minimal look.
