“Look: I love boots, I love texture. But nothing good can come from the two joining forces. For me, Yeti boots may just be 2025’s most unappealing trend. Granted, they can look very cool swishing down the runway when paired with a skinny heel, but no amount of persuasion or celebrity sightings can sell their flat-soled renditions to me. Along with eating up the most slender part of a woman’s legs – yes, you do look like you have Pomeranians hanging off your knees – the Moon Boot family also promises to catch every last bit of garbage off the streets as you drudge along trying to up your style cred.”

“Whether worn on its own or layered over and under other pieces, satin and lace are instant reminders of bedtime, and seeing them out and about during the day still feels off. We may have gotten away with pyjama-looking co-ords, but I believe there’s far more to cool, edgy street style in 2026 than simply throwing a lace midi skirt over a pair of jeans.”
