Satin To Chunky: 6 Shoe Trends That'll Take Over 2023

The chunky shoe trend is here to stay as proved by the likes of Fendi and Simkhai's 2023 Spring Collections. They come in all types and styles, be it platform, wedges or bulky block heels. We love that they're easier to walk in, are comfortable enough for daily wear and can be clubbed with so many other trends. Think chunky satin or chunky buckled heels.

We saw a ton of satin shoes towards the end of the year, and that is most certainly going to stay intact all of this year too. They look classy, put together and super sophisticated in all shapes and sizes, going with everything from cocktail dresses to lehengas.

The last couple of years have been all about the revival of y2k fashion. The latest addition to the revival list being peep toes. Everything from stilettos, pumps, and sandals, we're most likely to see peep toes hit street fashion soon this year. We particularly like the retro vibe to them as seen at Carolina Herrera's 2023 collection.

Buckles are another retro vibe that will be spotted a lot this year. Buckles started last year along with chunky heels with buckle closures, and this year too, with everything from Mary Janes to thong flats. We like how buckles immediately add another element to the shoe, come in different colours, sizes and shapes, and can really be played around with. Although they tend to make the shoes harder to put on and take off, we're willing to go through that as long as there's no compromise on the fabulousness. 

A tend that we feel inevitably makes a come back every single year during the summers, this time the thong sandals will walk well into the year too! They're comfy, perfect for office wear, come in several styles, colours, shapes and patterns, and you can never have too many of them. If you're someone who loves Birkenstocks, then investing in a pair that serves the dual purpose of comfort and trend. seems like a great idea! 

More of a desi trend that we've noticed, especially during this wedding season is embellished, stoned or jewelled shoes. Our favourites have got to be the ghungroo (anklet) juttis that are perfect for the wedding season, are comfy and go with just about anything. Another favourite are the classic Manolo Blahnik-looking pointy heels with embellishment on the top. We like how stylish and sophisticated they look, and who doesn't like more jewellery?
