I Keep Seeing This Shoe Trend in Paris and NYC—Now It’s All Over M&S and Zara

In my years as a fashion editor, I have honed a few very specific skills, my favourite of which is a sharp eye for emerging trends and details. This has led me to understand the subtle cues that can indicate the value and potential of a new-season buy. These cues usually stem from my daily scouts of the new-in sections of both high-street and designer brands, the Instagram deep dives where I scope out the chicest looks and my frequent commutes to an office filled with stylish individuals. With this healthy combination, I am, if I do say so myself, uniquely placed to comment on the trends most worth tapping into.
With this in mind, there’s a fresh spring footwear trend on my radar that I'm desperate to tell you about. After spotting it cropping up more and more on the influencers, editors and stylists I look to for inspiration the most, the buckle shoe trend is one of the styles I’m backing this season.
Kicked off by Miu Miu’s now-iconic buckle-strap slingbacks, which were spotted non-stop on celebrities last year, buckle detailing on shoes has become one of the hottest footwear microtrends. Adopted by high-street favourites including Mango and M&S, the trend is all about sharp lines with a grungy undertone, creating fresh, wearable styles with an edgy finish.
Whilst I'll be wearing mine with wide-leg trousers and dresses for springtime get-togethers, buckle shoes also pair well with pencil skirts for a trip to the office or baggy jeans for a more casual take. Read on to shop our edit of the best buckle-detail shoes.
