Last weekend, I witnessed Londoners wearing puffer jackets with bare legs; wooly hats on top and open-toed sandals on their feet — all in the course of one blustery-balmy morning. Clearly, it’s a confusing time, weather-wise, to get dressed.
What to wear on your feet is a particular conundrum right now. Is a gap between foot and ankle, exposing a sliver of skin that could instantly develop goosebumps, still appropriate considering it’s October? Or is it boots — and only boots — for the foreseeable? And besides practicality, what shoes will immediately telegraph the right message for the new season?
