Versatile and holiday-ready designs drive the key
directions for the season. Crafted techniques, colour-
blocking, long-lasting materials and day-to-night styles
are critical for updating core deliveries

In line with our Future classics forecast
trend, prioritise high-quality materials and
design with longevity in mind. Responsible
leathers work well for WGSN's Positive
luxury story; opt for polished versions for
perennial and investment-worthy items
Reference Tod's handcrafted sandals, and
tap into consumer appreciation for

Humble rope and scavenged beauty trims

Reflected in our TrendCurve+ reports, flat
sandals continue to take the majority of the
footwear mix in the UK and US, presenting
an opportunity for range expansion
Add subtle statements with tubular volume
and # MetalHardware. Create statement
simplicity via colour-blocking, with playful
prints, or reuse deadstock for mix-and-
match combinations
As comfort continues to be paramount, soft

and padded shapes are key for updating
this style. Pair cupsole constructions and
memory foam footbeds with smarter
outsoles to enhance comfort in casual and
formal items

Chalked finishes add a refined fashion
statement, while thin spaghetti straps in
multiple colours are gaining momentum
too. Renew bestsellers with novelty chains
and use # Motifs for younger markets
With socialising and office work back in the
consumer's mind, respond to the need for
styles that can easily transition between
day and night. Be sure to provide extra-
cushioned footbeds to enhance all-day

Prioritise ankle-strap silhouettes, as
WGSN's data reflects that this silhouette
exceeded 25% share in 2022 in the UK, and
are forecast for slow growth into S/S 23
The # SquareToe remains relevant, and for
a fashion-forward approach continue to add
tied-up details, now trending on the
catwalks

Ballet flat
We saw a sharp rise for the ballet flat style
on the A/W 22/23 catwalks, and they
continue to trend in the S/S 23 shows.
Respond to demand for newness with
seasonal updates that promote practicality,
longevity and enhance value; opt for
# ResponsibleLeather and plant-based
materials, or add newness with open work
constructions
Use soft nappa for lightweight and flexible

styles. Perfect for our Minimalist resort
story, refer to Modern Weaving's extra
lightweight ballet flats constructed to avoid
material waste – ideal for flatpacking with a
versatile matching dust bag
Continue to add # BalletDetails such as a
# SquareToe and tie-up straps. Invest in
warm neutral tones and metallics

Fisherman sandal
Spurred by a new generation, the nostalgia
for # Y2K fashion alongside the importance
of classic styles influences the return of
# FishermanSandals as a key core item.
Capitalise on its classic design for seasonal
updates with timeless appeal, or provide
newness with more directional styles
depending on your market
Polished leathers and plant-based
alternatives offer transseasonality and

Opt for considered intricacy for a minimalist
and refined approach to crafts.
Alternatively, include jelly constructions,
phygital finish materials, or a # Flatform for
younger markets
