In many ways, the Fall 2023 runway season felt like a welcome reset. A theme of reduction and refocus ran throughout the collections as creative directors seemed to take a moment of collective pause and commit to a focus on what is at the core of their brands’ heritage and identity and how to communicate that through the language of creating clothes for today.
An important way in which this introspective moment took shape was of course manifested across accessories, and designers put their best foot forward in giving us a season of sensible shoes that are nonetheless poised to make a statement – from the sassily pointy and strappy chicness of Miu Miu‘s flats to Loewe‘s explorations in volume and reduction.
Here are The Impression’s picks for the best shoes from the women’s Fall 2023 fashion weeks.
