Make way Louis Vuitton sci-fi Archlight and Balenciaga Speed Runner, we’re here to talk the simple and ever effective shoes to take you from street to soirée at a fraction of the price. From Paul Smith to Clarks Originals, we talk the return of the staple Spring Summer footwear piece for any wardrobe that is the plimsoll. From full ballerina skirt to boyfriend jeans, from pin roll to suit pant, a plimsoll is the style to match them all. Thanks to the return of sneaker to the street style game in recent years (hallelujah), we bring you our ultimate array of new sneaker styles to put a spring in your step this season.
Now that we’ve shaken the myth that plimsolls are just for tennis, they become ridiculously useful foundation to any look (providing you keep them pretty clean, if you’re regular here you’ll know our views on this). Inspiration is key, and when it comes to this where better to look than all around, street style kings and queens in their many have reinforced our belief that a flat white trainer works on anyone from dad to daughter, we’ve collated some of our favourite looks and styles to adopt with ease this SS18.
Oversized suiting is in for everyone for another season. No matter how you opt to adapt the trend, it’s become easier than ever to create a smart casual look with effortless ease, add a box fresh white plimsoll to any suit fit to create the perfect air of Parisian chic.
