A fashion stylist shared a tip on TikTok that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. The video has since disappeared from my algorithm so sadly I can't credit her, but I digress.
She basically said that when choosing which shoes to wear, go for the ones you least expect to go with your outfit — the 'wrong shoe'. They'll make it more interesting, surprising, and cool.
It makes sense — that's probably why sneakers have been popular styled with skirts and dresses for so long. But that look has become so mainstream it's lost its shock factor.
The year before last I bought two pairs of shoes I insisted I would never own, and they confirmed the stylist's theory. They also completely changed the way I get dressed.
The first pair were Birkenstocks — my entire family owns them and I've always refused.
But after seeing celebrities and fashion influencers wearing the Birkenstock Bostons, and hearing they're all the rage in Europe, I spent months trying to track them down.
