Clogs, Snake Print, and More 2025 Spring Shoe Trends to Wear All Season Long
There's a quintessential spring moment that gets me excited every year. It's not switching my closet from chunky winter knits to breezy spring dresses, and it's not even feeling the warm sunlight when I step outside my apartment. It's actually feeling that first warm-ish air on my feet when I walk around in my springtime shoe assortment. Sure, we shed layers in the spring. But we also let go of the heavy boots and thick socks that have sustained us, an underrated aspect of springtime fashion that I feel deserves more attention. Thankfully, this spring's shoe trends are giving footwork a time on the sartorial main stage. There are innovative takes on the classic clog, as well as prints that invite us all to a westside trip. Cringe-worthy but actually cool silhouettes like peep-toe shoes and slingbacks make a comeback, while laces will be on everything from flats to heels. As you take stock of the season's wishlist, take a peek at the five defining shoe trends for 2025 below. No, it's not the early 2010s. But yes, peep-toe shoes are back on the trend cycle—just not how you remember them. This season, they're cooler and less business casual than in past decades, with designers like Tory Burch, Acne, and Miu Miu endorsing the style. At Miu Miu, metallic versions were styled with legwarmers, while Tory Burch pushed the silhouette with barely-there pee-toe details. Acne went all in, with peep-toe style heeled boots throughout the collection. In case you missed it, the boho renaissance is in full swing this spring. Thanks to brands like Chloé and Isabel Marant, the defining trend of the late 2000s is back, and with it, its signature shoe: the clog. But brands like Miu Miu and Ulla Johnson are reimagining it, with slip-like clog sandals and strapped clogs. Chloé is also pushing it forward with wedge-clog hybrids that feature wood carvings. Cowboy Carter won Album of the Year at the Grammys. So it makes sense that the Western bug is biting fashion too. This time, it's all about the snake print on everything from gladiator sandals and ankle boots to slingback heels. Brands like Isabel Marant, Jil Sander, and Dries van Noten endorsed the trip west, giving an edgy take to the classic Americana aesthetic. Spring shoe styles are usually unfussy—allowing people to go from thick boots to breezy on-the-go silhouettes. But this spring, it's all about the art of the in-between with lace-up styles taking center stage. At Chloé, for example, kitten heels featured lace-up details, while Chanel displayed lace-up booties that were oh-so-retro. Dries van Noten also showed mule versions that looked ready to go from the boardroom to the party. You may have seen kitten heels and mules trending over the past year. Now, a new classic bombshell enters the villa: the slingback. Coperni, Valentino, and Dior were some of the brands that endorsed the classic style for spring, with both heeled and flat versions. While the style has some business casual connotations, this spring it gets a makeover via Mickey Mouse ears at Coperni and feminine bow details at Valentino. Read the original article on InStyle

Garden scents: 10 of the best
My default setting when it comes to scent, be it on my person or in my home, is for incense or those that are smoky or leathery. Because, by the time I hit my 30s, scents that were sweet, pretty and fresh had lost their appeal. And while I know the experts tell you to change your scent according to the season, I generally ignore this. Fragrances are increasingly amalgamating heavier ingredients with lighter ones to work across the seasons, so the advice holds less water. A decent oud with rose scent, for instance, can work beautifully in summer or winter. Right now, however, for reasons inexplicable to myself, how I want to smell is shifting into nature, specifically the kind you find in a garden – a fruit and vegetable garden to be precise. Which is why my perfume palette is now gravitating towards scents that are infused with tomatoes, basil, rhubarb, carrots, cucumber and even sweet potato. Florals, of course, are nice (you can't go wrong with a high-quality rose or jasmine scent), but there is something super-innovative about these scents and they're perfect if you want something a little different. Also, for anyone who, like me, is not the least bit green-fingered, this is one way to embody the fantasy that I am. The Guardian's journalism is independent.

Red lipsticks: 10 of the best
When I first started being bold with my lipstick choices, red was my daily go-to. The brighter the better. I'm not quite sure when I began automatically reaching for neutrals. It wasn't that I gave up on red. I just found a neutral lip quick and easy, because what's not to love about something you can put on in seconds without a mirror? But I've begun seeing red again. Red brightens your smile and lifts your demeanour. There's just something about a pop of colour that gives you a different kind of energy. There are the nuanced reds with a hit of orange or pink to add a point of difference, as well as the deeper 'true reds' that are growing in availability and quality. Pigments are also improved (if you have to go over a lip colour numerous times to get the shade you see on the bullet then it really isn't doing its job). Textures are more refined – satin finishes for instance, velvety with just a bit of shine, last longer than they once did. As do the mattes. But not at a cost. In the not so distant past, wearing mattes meant accepting your lips would dry out and resemble a dehydrated road map. Today's great mattes are both dense and hydrating. Add the intensity of a popping red and the result is sensational. 1. Westman Atelier Lip Suede Matte Lipstick in Pip £45, 2. Lisa Eldridge Rouge Experience Refillable Lipstick in Ribbon £44, 3. Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm in Red Zero £36, 4. Nars Explicit Lipstick in Unauthorised £34, 5. By Terry Rouge Opulent Lipstick Collection £49, 6. Dries van Noten Matt Lipstick £34, Il Makiage Dirty Talk Lipstick £28, 8. Sisley Phyto-Rouge Velvet (12 shades) £49, 9. Laura Mercier Caviar Smoothing Matte Lipstick in Red Velvet £36, 10. Dolce & Gabbana My Comfy Matte Lip Stylo £38,
