Military styling is out in force with a splash of glamour and charm. New hardware is more decorative than confrontational.
Cutting edge styles of smart biker boots, high heeled polished boots and dressy bags are all the rage in this trend complimented with buckles, buttons, studs and zips. It is all about the regimental bling with gold braid, military insignia, and fancy army decorations.
Form & Function
Just as the name says, this trend represents a classic grown-up tailored style. Long dressy boots take second place to the short and chic "shoe boot".
Patent colours are being splashed all over classic designs of footwear and accessories to add a contemporary edge. New curved heels have become the mainstream trend, such as the popular "banana" heel indicating that they are not just a one season wonder.

The passion for shine is high in satin shoes and bags along with key details such as peep toes, sparkles, crystal brooch trims and extravagant bows. Minimalism may be an important trend, but fine added details are another face of fashion.

Sheepskin linings, polished leathers, stitching detail, wild animal prints and beautiful flowers are taking nature's concepts to a new level.
