What I Wore

What I Wore: Seventies Chic

10th October, 2015

One of my fave trends this season is the fashion’s 70s flashback. It’s all about voluminous silhouettes, slightly chunkier platform heels and adding a touch of glamour to an outfit. As I mentioned in this post, I’d wear an outfit like this to the races but it also makes a great party ensemble once the festive party season is well under way.

What I Wore: Modern Femme

The trend towards ultra feminine dressing is perfect for race day outfits. I wanted to accessorise with something a little different so I opted for this floral headband which provided a great contrast to the structured asymmetrical neckline on the dress. Lace up heels are one of the great shoe trends to come out this spring/summer and they’re the ideal finishing touch to this outfit.

Nadia Fairfax + Kate Waterhouse: On Track

23rd September, 2015

resizedSpring racing is upon us and I recently teamed up with Nadia Fairfax and Wittner to showcase the latest footwear trends for this season. Footwear is key when it comes to a polished spring racing look and here are some of the key tips, tricks and trends to having a strong shoe game at the races this season.

The trends to look out for:

Wittner’s biggest shoe trends for the SS15 Spring Racing Season are Seventies Chic, Modern Femme and Tough Luxe.

Modern Femme

This look is all about subtlety – perfect pastels, bow and lace details and finer heels. For a pop of colour, a pair of spicy fuchsia lace-up heels adds that extra femme touch.

Seventies Chic

Seventies style has been re-imagined for 2015, with luxe textures such as soft suede and nappa leather paired with modern detailing. Whiskey, tan and navy blue are standout tones, with special details such as contrast stitching and caging.

Tough Luxe

We love lending a fashion-forward twist to our race-day looks with sophisticated and tough monochrome shoe styles with a luxe edge. Strong cage and lace-up heels in soft black leather contrast with gold zip and buckle detailing. Play with texture and pair these styles with structured pieces for Derby Day!

How to stay comfortable:

The Spring Racing collection for 2015 offers a variety of styles and heel heights to suit different looks. To ensure that race-goers are able to get through the long day (and into the night!) on their feet, all of the shoes in this collection have superior comfort features such as padded foot beds and luxurious soft leathers. If you struggle to wear heels for long periods of time, we recommend sneaking a pair of ballet flats into your clutch and using gel cushions to provide instant comfort. The golden rule here is never to end up barefoot!

The big no-nos:

You need to consider both style and practically when it comes to race day footwear. Ideally you should opt for styles with a thicker block heel, small platform or wedge as you don’t want to be sinking into the grass all day long! Grass stains can wreak havoc on neutral coloured shoes, which are a big trend this season, so make sure you water proof your shoes beforehand. 

What to look for:

Look out for pieces you know will get you through the day in comfort as well as style. There’s nothing worse than struggling to walk in your new stilettos. Wedges are a great option for a day on the track; opt for a seventies-style wooden heeled wedge or platform sandal. Caged or tie-up heels are also a chic yet comfy option – the laces lend additional support. You get what you pay for so invest in a pair of beautifully crafted leather shoes and your feet will thank you for it!
