7 Designer Shoes I Know Will Reach It-Status in 2021

The Luxury List is a monthly column on all things luxury, tapping the foremost experts in the fashion space to explore everything from craftsmanship deep dives to the little-known details to consider when buying fine jewelry.

Other than bags, shoes are one piece that I typically invest in. I believe that a great pair of shoes can really transform a look—yes, even a simple outfit like jeans and a tee—and the designer pairs I’ve purchased have ended up being some of the most prized items in my wardrobe. So, it goes without saying that I always have my eye out for the cool designer shoes that drop each season.

For spring, brands have released the most stunning new shoes from their collection and a few trends are already winning out. Bold colors like electric green and bubblegum pink, next-level “revenge heels”, and directional slides are already front-runners this season—and there are some that I guarantee will reach It-status in 2021. Ahead, I’m highlighting the 7 cool designer shoes that already have a cult-like following among fashion insiders and are set to define style in the months ahead.

Prada's cool slingback heels have already stood out as a fashion insider favorite this season and are only destined to get more popular. The low pointed-toe heels are designed in a rainbow of colors, each with a sporty waved sole, broken kitten heel, subtle logo, and rubber finish that make them feel timeless and modern all at once.
Balenciaga's iconic knife heels—named for their sharp, pointed toes—were reimagined this season. This time around, they're finished with a sporty toggle at the back that adds a cool scrunch effect to the leather. And remember those bold colors I mentioned? You'll definitely find them here.
Anything The Attico touches is cool, but this season their Devon heels are one of their most in-demand pieces. The high-impact shoe is designed with a sculptural heel and range of stunning shades, making it the perfect shoe to instantly dress up any look. A favorite among fashion people and celebs like Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa, it's easy to see why they're sold out nearly everywhere.
Rather than a specific shoe style, it's the Amina Muaddi x AWGE collection that we need to talk about next. A collaboration with A$AP Rocky's creative agency, these heels are inspired by pieces from the rapper's jewelry all embellished, like the chain straps on the Flacko heels. These are selling out fast, so you'll be lucky if they are still any pairs left in your size.
And now, introducing the coolest slide of the season: the Givenchy marshmallow. Named for their thick, cushioned soles, the rubbed slides are poised to rise to cult status this spring. I envision celebs styling the futuristic shoe with everything from mini dresses to tube socks.
The fashion set can't get enough of Mach & Mach's beautiful heels. Designed in an array of pretty pastels and finished with crystal bows and roses, these revenge heels are the ultimate piece to pair with party fashion pieces once they make their return.
There's already a mile-long waitlist for the Hermés Calya mules and it's easy to see why. One of the most talked-about shoes when they hit the F/W 21 runways, this is the coolest possible take on the clog trend that fashion people can't get enough of.

Next, the designer bags I predict will be big this year.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
