With autumn almost here, trends for the upcoming season are starting to emerge. Shoes are one of the staple pieces of any wardrobe, and having the perfect pair for every season is almost a must for many people. The trend is that tan Wallabee-style shoes will replace loafers and become fall favorites.
These shoes are suitable for more formal looks, so they can be worn in both office-ready
This is an almost timeless type of shoe. Clarks was the brand that launched the first design, and it was so successful that brands have continued to replicate the original ever since. These shoes are suitable for more formal looks, so they can be worn in both office-ready and more casual weekend looks. They stand out for their simple silhouette and lace-up design, and are as comfortable as they are elegant. The Wallabee model is definitely the top trending option for this fall.
At El Corte Inglés, you can find these Wallabee-style shoes (€89.95) in the version designed by Toni Pons, an option we should keep in mind for fall. This hybrid of boat shoes and hiking boots is elegant, unique, and will protect our feet from the cold far more than any other shoe. This type of shoe can be worn with wide-leg or baggy jeans, so that the shaft extends above the ankle and fits under the trousers.
“Suede, split leather, and suede are making a strong entrance”
Wallabees can be found in different shades: light brown with a burgundy heel and black with a gray heel. They have a tomboyish, masculine vibe, so we can pair them with polo shirts and suede jackets to offset the look and create perfect office looks. “Suede, split leather, and suede are making a strong entrance,” says fashion content creator Patti Santamaría.
In any case, the Wallabee (€120) by Clarks is also available at El Corte Inglés in a leopard print. “Integrate the animal print subtly through accessories like bags or shoes for a bold yet balanced touch of style,” recommends image consultant Carol Torciviski. Clarks’ original style is one of the most popular among shoppers.
The Wallabee option, offered by the brand for €190, stands out with its geometric print in white, red, and black
Clarks also has a more daring, Scottish-style version. The Wallabee option, offered by the brand for €190 at El Corte Inglés, stands out with its geometric print in white, red, and black. As we can see from the different options, there’s something for everyone. If this is the type of shoe you like, there are plenty of places to choose from.
Either by donating them to people who need them or by creating new ones from the “old” ones
What’s clear is that since fashion became affordable, everyone’s closets have filled up, regenerated, changed, and accumulated. So this might be a good time to talk about the latter. With fast fashion so popular, it’s important to keep in mind that even if we want to change our wardrobe more than twice a year, it’s important to know that we can give many items a second life. This is important because when it comes to getting rid of clothes we no longer wear, it’s best to choose the most environmentally friendly way to do it. Either by donating them to people who need them or by creating new ones from the “old” ones.
And of course, try to apply the Marie Kondo method and avoid filling our closets with clothes we never wear. Often, because certain brands are so cheap, we tend to get carried away and buy things when they’re on sale. Often, what we actually end up doing is buying items we don’t need and then end up not wearing.
