Bright chunky sneakers
Chunky sneakers will continue to dominate in 2019. Whether you’re a comfort loving gal or a stylish guy, you can’t go wrong with a pair of bright sneakers with a chunky sole. 2019 promises mega-soled kicks in bright hues, which means you can get used to being stylish and comfortable all year round.
Velcro sandals
Listen up, guys and gals; if you thought Velcro sandals were a fashion faux pas from your childhood, think again! Hot on the heels of the ugly sneaker trend, the chunky, sandal is rearing its ugly head in 2019. The uglier and the chunkier the sandal, the better. The style, made of criss-crossing Velcro straps, has been on everyone’s lips since it popped up on the catwalks of Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, and Rick Owens during the spring/summer 2018 runway shows, and we’re not quite sure what to think.
Embroidery
Embroidery is set to have a real fashion moment this year, and ladies can expect to see everyday embroidered pieces popping up everywhere from your head to the soles of your feet. These beautiful designs will marry artistry to fashion for a totally one-of-a-kind shoe and you can expect to see the detailing on boots and slides all year round.
Buckles
Almost everything is better with a little embellishment and this year you can expect to see buckles on everything from flats to stilettos, adding edge to traditionally more feminine footwear. As for the gents, buckles are sure to cause quite a stir on boots and formal shoes this year, so make sure you leave yourself a few extra minutes to fasten up these bad boys in the mornings.
Soles with soul
This year designers have discovered the sole as a new playground for both new and classic designs so you can expect to see loads of embellished soles popping up in 2019. Think colourful soles, printed soles, and even weird and wacky new sole designs that are sure to make you stand out in a crowd. This bold new trend will show up in both men’s and women’s shoes in 2019.
