What trends are you excited to try over the next 12 months? And, how can you make your cornucopia of clothes and accessories even chicer than it already is? Sure, there are plenty of ways to hit the refresh button on your wardrobe, but we firmly believe it starts with a great pair of shoes.

December 30, 2021 at 02:00PM 2021 has proven itself to be an explosive year for street style. A taste of normalcy (whatever that means now) has driven us to dress more freely and unapologetically than ever — if only for brief moments here and there. Could it have been an ardent longing to express ourselves through style in the wake of the turbulent year we left behind, and the equally uncertain future that lay ahead?

Whatever the reason, we’ve embraced the opportunity to step up our street style in 2021 — and so have our favourite fashion icons. With eye-catching looks from runway models to major pop stars, each season of this past year was full of fashion to be remembered. Below,…
