Here at Who What Wear UK, we’ve long been fans of Marks and Spencer’s shoe collection. Our chat channels often light up with discussions of new-in styles or old favourites that we’ve treasured for years. So when I stumbled across three expensive-looking shoes that hit all the trends right now, I was pretty chuffed. When I realised they were from M&S, I was elated. And naturally, I came here to share them with you.
There’s a lot to love about M&S, from its affordable yet luxurious cashmere jumpers to its scene-stealing party dresses and all your lingerie needs. But recently, its shoe department has been particularly on point, and these three styles are set to be favourites amongst fashion people. Marks and Spencer has finessed creating expensive-looking styles at purse-friendly prices, and with these three styles set to continue trending in 2023, there’s no time like the present to update your shoedrobe.
Without further ado, here are the three M&S shoes we fashion people can’t get enough of.
I had planned to ramp up to this pair, as they are such a gem, but when I realised they had just been restocked in all sizes, I had to put them first. With the revival of ballet flats as the shoes to be seen in, it’s no surprise that these Miu Miu–esque flats flew off the shelves at their first release. Thankfully, the sartorial gods have given us a rare second chance. The striking pointed toe adds a touch of elegance, whilst the buckle detailing firmly grounds this pair. I think we will spot these peeking out under tailored trousers, or paired with socks and miniskirts for a retro feel. However styled, we’re sure these will be a double sell-out.
Next up, the platform Mary Jane. We’ve spotted plenty of stylish people wearing these chunky heels over the party season, and as a feature of the S/S 23 shows, we’re sure this style will be sticking around for the rest of the year. This bold shoe is much more versatile than it seems, as it pairs harmoniously with everything from jeans to miniskirts, dresses to tailored trousers. Marks and Spencer’s pair features a double-strap detail and comes in both black and cream colourways. The platform sole means that despite the bold look, the actual heel isn’t terribly high, making it comfortable enough for dancing all night long.The hard part is choosing which colour to go for.
We often refer to winter as boot season, but thanks to the unpredictable weather we have, boots are pretty much a year-round staple. That being said, not all boots are created equal, and this suede pair is particularly chic. The suede fabrication adds an expensive feel to this pair, and the contrast sole in a chunky flatform style feels extremely contemporary. Alongside the black suede pair, M&S has offered up a sleek white leather pair that feels equally as elevated. All in all, we don’t think these will stick around for long.
