If Gucci has its way, you'll soon be wearing different colored shoes
When it comes to your favorite color, you just can't decide? Then today is your lucky day. Because herewith you officially get the permission to wear two different colored shoes.
The verdict is watertight, I promise. After all, it wasn't made by me, but by none other than Alessandro Michele, Creative Director at Gucci. And what he sends down his catwalk is trendy, period. But not necessarily brand new ...

If I dig deep into my fashion memory, the 2017 Spring/Summer collection by Céline comes to mind, for which designer Phoebe Philo let her models loose on the Fashion Week guests in so-called "mismatched shoes". A white sandal on the left foot accompanied a black one on the right. She also paired cognac-colored ankle boots with black ones, red ones with white ones. So does she actually deserve credit for what will probably soon be the biggest shoe trend of the summer? No.
I dug even further, back to the year 2000, when, you may remember, the third season of a certain TV series called "Sex and the City" flickered across all television screens. In episode 13 of said season, main protagonist Carrie is out and about in L.A.. On her feet? Shiny metallic Louboutin sandals - one in blue, one in pink. Actress Sarah Jessica Parker and stylist Patricia Field just loved it.

… Vielleicht, weil beide Farben so köstlich aussahen und so gut zum Kleid gepasst haben. Aber auch, weil wir uns einfach in die Idee verliebt hatten, einen Schuh von jedem Paar zu nehmen.
It was that simple in 2000, and it's that simple today. The fact that Gucci didn't reinvent the wheel - or the look - is not so bad in my opinion. After all, what's new these days anyway? Underpants flashers? Nope. Popcorn tops? Nope. Everything has somehow been there before. At least Signore Michele came up with a new twist and pulled the mismatched theme consistently throughout the outfit. I like that much commitment. Especially because the trend is pretty extra, but still wearable. You can work your way up according to your courage level, from the sole of your shoes to your sunglasses.
