True story: I moved back to the East Coast from Los Angeles a couple of years ago, Rihanna x Perfect Magazine Issue 6 5 By Rafeal Pavarotti Cover 2 Rihanna In One Word 2024 shirt and for my first month here, it rained almost every day. Coming from a place where it typically rains once in a blue moon, I was thoroughly unprepared. Before the bulk of my wardrobe arrived, I was armed with a denim jacket, and the closest thing I had to rain shoes was a pair of Everlane loafers. I felt like a fool surrounded by prepared east-coasters in goulashes and anoraks. So it got me thinking about how I can pre-plan for rainy days in the future—while still looking cute (naturally). Fittingly, I took to the internet and researched the rainy-day style of street-style stars while out and about when the forecast was less-than-stellar during fashion month. The results of my research? A crop of fresh outfit ideas for the inevitable string of rainy days to come.

I scream, you scream, Rihanna x Perfect Magazine Issue 6 5 By Rafeal Pavarotti Cover 2 Rihanna In One Word 2024 shirt we all scream for flat shoes! Whilst I won’t go as far as to say that heels are redundant this season, the spring/summer runways felt like a collective celebration of flats. Where slip dresses might have been styled with strappy sandals, we saw brogues tag in. Ballet flats have ruled the footwear roost for the last 365 days and their appeal is showing no signs of waning, as evidenced by Prada, Chanel and Fendi. Having spent the first few years of my career teetering around London in constricting and crippling heels just because they felt “fashion”, the way designers have adopted the flat is more profound than it might otherwise seem. “Fashion’s obsession with ballet flats and mary janes is set to continue well into the new year, but for S/S 24, luxury brands are kicking things up a notch,” says Lyst’s content editor Morgane Speed. From Loewe’s crystal-encrusted version to Fendi and The Attico’s jewellery-like detailing, these are more than just shoes; they’re works of art.”. “Flat shoes continue to dominate, especially in sheer mary jane and ballet styles—+110% vs. last year,” continues Liane Wiggins, head of womenswear at Matches. “Mesh is still the must-have fabric of the summer, with brands such as Khaite, Le Monde Beryl and Emme Parsons leading the demand. We predict The Row’s unexpected take on the trend with its runway jelly shoe will be a cult item this summer.”. “If ever there’s a moment for comfort, you can be sure to count me in,” adds Rebecca Rhys-Evans, Who What Wear UK branded content editor. “And of all the comfort-inducing trends, flat footwear is the one that I’m most up for. Y2K and the “indie sleaze” renaissance have reignited our love of ballet flats in all their forms, and rest assured they’re not going anywhere for S/S 24. Pastel or Prada, embellished or adorned with bows, when it comes to our shoes we’re embracing new heights this season, and boy are our heels happy about it.”
