Fashion’s Footwear Forecast: The past two years have been challenging to say the least, but the one thing that’s kept us grounded is shoes, glorious shoes. Our renewed love affair with classic, comfy loafers dictated the biggest footwear trends in 2021, and things are about to go to a whole new level in 2022. As the world snaps back into dressing to actually leave the house, our favorite footwear is stepping up in extravagant style. A statement shoe after all can not only make or break an outfit, it can elevate our mood—let’s call it shoe-cology.  So follow in the fancy footsteps of Prada, Alexander McQueen, and Versace who have upgraded the preppy staple with extreme crystal embellishments, graphic prints, exaggerated heels, chunky lug soles, and bold shiny leather. Here’s GRAZIA’s curated edit of the fun, playful, and fabulously over-the-top loafers to add to your wardrobe now.
