If ever there was a time to rock a wildly OTT statement shoe, it’s summer. Or Christmas. Or the New Year party season.

How fortunate for fashion-forward Australians that all three of those scenarios intersect. The take-home message? Updating your wardrobe with a big, bright, bold shoe right now is utterly on trend, a continuation of the more-is-more trend that’s dominated fashion throughout 2018.

What’s your fancy? Cowboy boots – aka the hottest shoe trend across the globe right now? Sweet, chic mules? Statement stilettos? There’s something in this week’s HOT 10 for every taste, occasion and budget. The common thread amongst them all though is statement colour-slash-pattern.

Go on, be a devil. After all, ’tis the season to be oh-so extra. You’re worth it!
