Summer’s coming (I’ve been told) and with it the usual trans-seasonal footwear dilemmas. It happens every time — after summer when it becomes socially unacceptable and physically impossible to wear sandals, and right about now when the prospect of a pedi at the weekend seems like a sensible thing to do.
Though this transition is far easier than the hole sans sandals leaves in your life, it still has its issues — what shoes to wear with culottes? What do you wear on the days it’s that bit too cold for your Birks (and don’t fancy a sock and sandal combo)?
The search for the new casj summer shoe has been found in the Vans Old Skool. For those of you who sacked off skate shoes a while ago, likely transitioning to Converse when you turned into a proper (questionable) adult (sadly, unquestionable), they’ve had a revival.
Fifty years after the launch of the — now ridiculously famous — Off The Wall collection, they’ve still got their skate clientele but also a whole new load of fans in the fashwan and film world too.
K-Stew, who’s suddenly found her ‘look’, after years of agreeing to wear Louboutins then ditching them pre-red carpet — it’s all Levi 501s, t-shirts and Chanel. (You can’t really beat it.) As part of her new wardrobe, the Vans Old Skools are prime piece.
If you've not got that grungy style down, don't veto the Van. They've had the Instagram crowd's seal of approval, popping up at fashion week with very un-skater ensembles.
Here are the pairs to shop:
1. Classic Black
High or low, up to you — Alexa's got the boot style, if that's a deciding factor, but shoes are more versatile when it comes to smartening them up.
2. Not Black (Liike White Or Even Red)
Until now, the black versions have been the go-to but we're thinking white for summer, maybe with a sporty sock. Or if you want a colour popping red pair, which can look very cool (if you're a bleached blonde mega babe like K-Stew) but are definitely a little trickier.
3. & Other Stories x Vans LINEN Collection
For real. The cool brands have gone and teamed up for an excellent capsule range which are ideal if you like the style but not the sportyness that comes with it.
(Buy for £60 from & Other Stories)
4. Supreme x Vans Collab
First thing's first, these sold out on the day they launched but ooooo aren't they jazzy?
Not a trainer gal (yet)? Here's how to wear trainers from our flat shoe expert, Hannah Rochell, and how you can wear trainers to the office... Yes, really.
