It’s hard to pull off an outfit flourish without feeling painfully self-conscious. We’ve all felt awkward at the thought of stepping out of the house in a jaunty hat, neon-coloured socks or over-styled scarf. The best way to avoid this is to wear footwear with a twist.
Trainers that look as if they’ve been having a fight with some Christmas decorations are all the rage: Pumas, Gazelles and Stan Smiths, all with shiny gold and silver flourishes. Tone down the rest of your outfit to pull off this look.
