IT’S TIME TO CLEAN THE SHOE CLOSET
Cleaning your shoe closet today? Make sure the shoes on your store away list are actually out of style. Surprisingly, the list of shoes that are no longer in fashion for 2021 is very short.
Well, perhaps not that surprising. After all, we happen to wear winter shoes in spring too. Nevertheless, 4 of our favourite spring summer shoes are out of style this season.
Still, you can’t merely compare the list of last year’s shoes with the list of spring summer 2021 shoes and say that all that is out of the new year’s list is out of style. It sure is, but there are also the winter shoes you need to take into consideration.
Anyway, don’t worry. I made all these comparisons for you, and here is the list of all shoe styles that aren’t in fashion for summer 2021. Or fall winter 2021 – no I didn’t forget of all of you who come from the bottom part of our planet either. So, Aussies, Kiwis, Latin Americans, and subequatorial Africans, this is for you too.
But first, let’s play a little bit. Tick the shoes you think are in fashion for summer 2021. Once you are done, share your results on Instagram story #BSquadKnows and be sure to mention @veronikalipar so I will be able to see your results.
SUMMER SHOES THAT ARE OUT OF STYLE FOR SUMMER 2021
Now to the list of shoes out of style in 2021. Starting with the list of summer shoes that are out of fashion for summer 2021 first since it’s spring season in the USA and Europe.
1 ROUND TOE SHOES
First, on the list are the round toe shoes. All round toe shoes as a matter of fact. Round toe pumps, round toe sandals, round toe boots, round toe … Well, you can leave round toe sneakers and round ballet flats – but the rest of the round toe shoes are out of style for spring summer 2021.
2 GLOVE PUMPS
3 PEEP TOE PUMPS
No, peep toe pumps are not back in fashion yet. But the open toe mules are!
Ps. You can swap your favourite peep toe pumps with these fashionable kitten heel open toes. I will add them to my spring summer capsule wardrobe, too.
4 DAD SNEAKERS
5 PLASTIC PUMPS
6 SIMPLE FLIP FLOPS
Sorry, this time for real, but basic flip flops are not fashionable anymore. No, the simple flip flops are no longer in fashion. I repeat, your old flip flops are not in style for summer 2021. This year we match our bikinis with chunky thongs or fluffy flip flops.
7 SPORTY POOL SLIDES
No sporty pool slides are not fashionable either. But, luxe slides are. Yes, leather slides are coming back in fashion for summer 2021.
Honestly, I prefer the 2021 summer substitutes for sporty pool slides. All, apart from the crocs and clogs. By the way, clogs are no longer out of style. But more about in the shoe trend report for spring summer 2021.
8 CHUNKY SNEAKERS
No, chunky sneakers are not in style anymore in 2021. There are other sneakers we wear now. Ps. I’m pretty sure you have them already. Be sure to go through the 2021 sneaker trends to see if I was right.
WINTER SHOES YOU SHOULD TOSS AND FORGET ABOUT IN FALL WINTER 2021
That much about summer shoes. Now forward to the cold season shoes you should toss or at least put at the bottom of your shoe closet because they are not in fashion in 2021. Ps. The list of shoes that are out of style for fall winter 2021/22 is not complete yet. But it will get an update soon. So make sure you subscribe for the post updates (click the bell in the bottom right corner of your desktop to get notified once I add new outdated winter shoes on the list).
1 SOCK BOOTS & SOCK BOOTIES
No, sock boots and sock booties are not really fashionable in 2021. Not saying sock boots are entirely out of style, yet everyone chic wears chunky boots now.
Apparently, the sock boots haven’t turned into classic shoes after all. Nevertheless, I still have hopes for the sock booties. So you might rather just put them aside than tossing them for good. Ps. Now is the best time to shop these Fendi sock boots. If there is one pair of sock boots that will become iconic, like Bobby sneakers that are iconic wedge sneakers, it’s this pair.
2 WEDGE SNEAKERS
Despite the icon status of the Bobby sneakers, the wedge sneakers aren’t fashionable for winter 2021. No, we wear chic sneakers now. When we are not wearing the most fashionable sneakers, of course.
3 WEDGE BOOTS
4 WEDGE BOOTIES
5 WESTERN BOOTS
Surprisingly western boots are out of style for winter 2021 too. Yes, cowboy boots are officially out of style for winter 2021. But you know what? Regardless of this updated status, not every fashion girl is tossing her favourite pair of cowboy boots and swapping them with the lug sole boots. Nor lace-up boots.
No, we are keeping our favourite beige and white cowboy boots for a little while. At least I am. And I’m pretty sure other fashion girls will do the same. After all, fringes (fringed dresses, fringed coats, and fringed tops) are coming in style for winter 2021. And western boots are the best match for anything fringed.
Ps. I bet it won’t be long before you see Isabel Marant Denvee boots, Paris Texas snake effect leather cowboy boots, and Ganni Texas boots everywhere.
