Fashion trends 2022: here are the 4 shoes that will dethrone sneakers
Candice MellotTuesday November 16th, 2021updated on Thursday November 18th, 2021 Fashion trends 2022: the 4 shoes that will dethrone sneakers Previous NextWhile the predictions suggested that the 2022 trend would turn to sneakers, it seems that the dice have been launched otherwise. T sandals, kitten heels… Which shoes will steal the show from the unbeatable sneakers?
It was premeditated, and now the facts are confirmed. Although the modosphere is about to refresh its data by putting itself not in airplane mode, but in winter mode activated, it is seeing a new wave of clothing and accessories appear, long stowed in the category of forgotten pieces.
And against all odds, we are witnessing an operational return to shoes, tending to supplant sneakers. From the Nike Air Force One to the white Slip-On Vans that owe their success to the popular Squid Game series, sneakers were everywhere. But as nothing is ever acquired, especially in terms of style, other shoes claim their port, at the feet of the trendiest fashionistas.
Chunky moccasins, Mary Janes, Kitten heels, slingbacks… These shoe trends that will mark 2022
If confinement made us want cozy slippers, the return to "normal" allows us to see that consumers now want to dress “well”. A noteworthy statement from the fashion editor, and which is confirmed by the detailed analysis of the Stylight search engine, which paints a portrait of the most searched shoes on Google and on the various international pages of the site, since the beginning of the year, compared to last year. And here is what it is.
Chunky loafers
With more than 295% increase in searches on Google at the end of the year, platform loafers are doing well. The star model of 2021 and 2022? Without hesitation the chunky Monolith loafers from Prada, recognizable by their logotype tongue. Fortunately, and because on the budget side we like to be spoiled for choice, many ready-to-wear brands have reissued these preppy shoes for the good of any fashion lover. Zara, Mango, Maje or even Sandro… The most prominent labels are spreading the word to redefine the notion of moccasins as we will want to hear it next year.
Mary Janes
Alternatively known as babies, these shoes unique to 19th century England are experiencing a meteoric rise at the end of 2021, going as far as to slip into the top of the 2022 shoe trend podium. A comeback that can be explained in particular by the excitement of the series La Chronique des Bridgerton broadcast on Netflix. Since then, and with the reboot of Gossip Girl on the counter, the Mary Janes have not known defeat. Whether flat or heeled, these shoes show an 89% increase in clicks on Stylight. Which brands do we recommend? Carel, for curators of Parisian charm, and Nodaleto for established party girls.
Kitten Heels
Last July, the editorial team was already praising kitten heels. Retro shoes, identifiable by their minimalist "kitten heel" and stiletto, between 3.5 and 5 cm and which echo the shoes presented during Christian Dior's New Look collection, unveiled in 1947. In 2021, kitten heels are experiencing a peak of interest of 105%, going so far as to confirm their place in the shoe trend book for 2022. And if in summer we opt for low-heeled mules, in winter we abandon them in favor of kitten heel boots .
T-bar shoes
T-Bar shoes or T-sandals - as connoisseurs call them - are on the hit parade of shoes that will mark next year. A rise in power that we highlighted last July and which has been confirmed since the broadcast of the reboot of Gossip Girl. Their fashion DNA? Perpendicular straps that support the instep - and form a "T", and a purely retro aesthetic as we like them.
