We thought of another era, these shoes are surfaced this fall to instantly transform any outfit.
Some shoes go through decades without losing their brilliance, because they combine comfort and elegance, practicality and daring. This fall, a flagship model of pop culture, also acclaimed by royal families, signed a remarkable return.
From the end of the 19th century, he seduced American students from Ivy League with cult models such as the Weejuns of Gh bass. Flexible and refined, he then embodies a discreet and neat style. In the 1950s, women in turn adopted it, while Gucci made it a luxury object with the famous moccasin in Mors, launched in 1953 and inspired by the equestrian universe.
The 1970s gave it a new dimension. On stage, David Bowie and Marc Bolan experiment with heeled shoes, while Jackie Onassis, Lauren Hutton or Farrah Fawcet is popular with square heels, as elegant as relaxed. It is in this effervescence that the trend of heeled moccasins is born, fusion between the comfort of the classic model and the appearance of a structured heel. Square end, block or platform, metallic details: each variant imposes its personality.
Long associated with a retro look, the heel moccasin returns today with new energy. The brands reinvent it in matt or varnished leather, flexible suede or even in two -color versions. The colors oscillate between neutral shades, such as black and beige, and more daring choices, such as burgundy or fir green, which perfectly agree with fall pallets. Brought with slightly rolled up straight jeans, a fluid midi skirt or pliers pants, it instantly transforms a simple outfit into a assertive silhouette.
Public personalities are not mistaken. Kate Middleton regularly associates it with her elegant but practical outfits, while the Queen Letizia of Spain makes it a must of her work looks. On Instagram and Tiktok, fashion influencers multiply the ideas of associations: heeled moccasins with white socks for a preppy wink, or with a bohemian dress to break the codes. The success of the “Old Money Style”, brought up to date by social networks, has largely contributed to putting the moccasin forward.
From Tamaris to Maison 123 via Eram and Jonak, the heel moccasin is everywhere with a price ranging from 80 to 170 euros. More than a nod to the 70s, it symbolizes the balance between heritage and modernity. Both sophisticated and practical, it stands out as the essential accessory for fall.
