Editor’s Picks: The April Edition

Step into spring with new season shoes from your favourite brands. This month, we’re loving the re-introduction of the chunky trainer – perfect for making that street style statement. Tried and tested by many brands, the style can take on a girly, glitzy edge a la Ted Baker or a more mature, sophisticated style like Ralph Lauren’s leather designs.

If new sneakers weren’t good enough, the appearance of the sun means we can dust off the old espadrilles or even treat ourselves to some new ones. As always Castaner’s classic wedged heels make the perfect outfit update and Karl Lagerfeld’s punk rock flats will help you transition from spring to summer with ease.

Update your shoe collection this month with our expert editor’s April picks.

A fan of maximalist fashion and all things fluffy, you can find me layering prints or looking for new earrings. A disco queen at heart, if I'm not dancing around the house to 70s soul, I'm counting my flares.
