plastic heels

We had previously mentioned how plastic was one of the hottest trends of 2018. Not only has plastic expanded beyond the realms of raincoats, it has been used to make everything from dresses, bags and jewellery. One iteration of plastic fashion that we can’t help but divert our attention to, are shoes.

Not only do they have practical advantage (they are waterproof after all), the transparency of these plastic creations departs from the usual footwear silhouette and invokes modern aesthetics.

Plastic footwear is also a great reason to get those pedicures ready: There’s nothing to hide but everything to flaunt. Not convinced? Look at our picks and get lost in plastic fantastic.
