Written by Lola Lolita? LOL!

Designer sneakers may have peaked:

I for one, am happy for sneakers to be fashionable. I won’t wear heels.

I’ll be happy when the designer sneaker fad phase is over. Most are stupid looking, imo.

Ditto, @emilybee. There is a vast middle ground between a sneaker and a stiletto pump. :slight_smile:

IMO, most designer sneakers look over the top, and cost absurd amounts. If one wants to wear them for fashion, I’d just wear Converse sneakers.

Flats of any kind make sense to me. I just wear shoes that are comfortable. That said, I find clunky shoes can make an otherwise lovely outfit look “off.” We’ve all been brainwashed!

My Saks email this morning featured the clunky sneakers. The tag line was “get your kicks in the sole that stole the runway.” Ermm
no thanks.

I have a feeling that Moonboots and chunky sneakers are among those fads of the past that will not make a meaningful comeback. :slight_smile:

^^. That’s what my daughter used to say about high rise ‘mom’ jeans
and yet
aside from the acid wash*
here we are.

  • I guess all those jeans with more rips and holes than actual material could be the result of an overly enthusiastic application of the acid wash :)

I recently heard that the big shoulder look is coming back - so it seems like everything in fashion returns!

Converse has “design your own” sneakers which look pretty fun.

The keyword is “meaningful.” Bellbottoms tried to make a comeback
 it was a flash in a pan. :slight_smile:

THANK YOU. And, thank you, Fendi, for a good hearty laugh this morning.

There are no words:

Thanks for the much needed laugh, @Gourmetmom !! OMG. The view from the back is especially priceless.

Weird. Very weird.

Doesn’t everyone want to look like the Michelin Man!

Since I clicked on the last Saks link, they now think I’m looking to buy a puffer.

This one came in my morning Saks email.

I don’t think so.
