The new dancers? This season, almond-shaped shoes with a ’50s look are making a comeback.
Every season brings its own shoe trends. Currently we see more flats on the streets again, but it is already evident that they will soon be replaced by a new straight silhouette inspired by the 50s. Spring/Summer 2024 is all about almond-shaped shoes, a model characterized by a rounded toe, a low heel and an upper that covers the back of the foot a little more than a classic pump.
In spring/summer 2024, instead of ballet flats, we will wear these almond-shaped shoes
The Row, the luxury brand founded by the Olsen twins, is – at least since its last show with “No Social Media Policy” at Paris Fashion Week – the epitome of the “Quiet Luxury” trend. This makes the discreet and minimalist look desirable, which is also what characterizes the almond-shaped shoes this season, which have already found a place in The Row’s collection. Alaïa’s Pieter Mulier also showed off almond-shaped pumps on the catwalk of his Spring/Summer 2024 show. The new object of desire, which has no surprising features, is self-explanatory – and looks just as good with jeans as with a pair of jeans . evening dress.
Even ballet flats had to give way to almond-shaped pumps on the catwalk this season
Other brands have completely reinterpreted the “Almond shoe”: at MM6 Maison Margiela they have given them a rock twist, while Blumarine has combined them with leopard tights. The Italian brand has demonstrated that the new footwear also adapts to 90s/2000s style looks.
Some It girls have also been spotted wearing almond-shaped shoes, further confirming the emerging trend: Elsa Hosk and Emily Ratajkowski have already chosen minimalist footwear for their daily looks. The former opted for a sober yet luxurious outfit in the trendy brown colour, consisting of a maxi skirt, a turtleneck sweater and a pair of almond pumps.
