Though most runways have been indoors this London Fashion Week, many shows seemed to have taken notes from the city’s rainy weather over the last few days. With no shortage of boots this season, from shiny metallics at David Koma to funky patterns at Feben, it seems U.K.-based designers are preparing us all for a rainy spring.
In fact, it seems that the fashion crowd is eschewing open-toed shoes in general for the upcoming season, with many runways showing either closed shoe silhouettes or simply covering up with socks — a trend we’ve also been noticing off the runways on the week’s street style crowd.
Simone Rocha also presented rain-friendly footwear, debuting its upcoming collaboration with Crocs — the waterproof foam shoe brand — on the runway in addition to endless amounts of Rocha-fied jibbitz featuring pearls, crystals, beads and more.
Below, see the 23 shoes from London Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 runways, perfect for plenty of very chic puddle splashing.
