PSA: spring is on its way. The air is abuzz with anticipation as we gear up for all the warm-weather clothes to come. Shoe trends in particular are at the forefront of my mind, and thanks to my Instagram feed, Pinterest board and all the street style inspo I’m seeing, I already have my eye on some of the key styles emerging for the season ahead. From mesh flats and Mary Janes to almost blindingly bright trainers, the options are endless. The problem is trying to grab these popular pairs before they inevitably sell out, but I’ve got a secret weapon: NET-A-PORTER.
It’s one of the trusted luxury retailers I can always count on to get my hands on some of the season’s most sought-after shoes, starting with those that live in the New In and Trending sections, which are always perfection. I mean, the e-tailer stocks something for every style, from iconic fashion houses and emerging designers alike, ensuring that my search pulls through the crème de la crème of footwear. There’s just no faulting it.
