Thin-soled moccasins tell the new understated elegance of spring

Thin-soled moccasins will definitively replace chunky models this spring

The spring wardrobe is renewed in the name of elegance: understated luxury has replaced the flashy logos, button-down shirts are suddenly the chicest garment and the platform loafers trend that dominated 2022 is giving way to a slimmer style that recalls women’s footwear: moccasins with a thin and flat sole and clean, light and minimal lines.

Here then is the return of historical models such as the penny loafers with the classic mask or the moccasins with the iconic Horsebit clamp by Gucci, the culmination of the heritage of the maison, which have conquered the street style, thanks also to top models such as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, and celebs like Katie Holmes, who have made it a constant in their looks.

Thin-soled loafers: a minimalist fashion staple

Along with the great classics, thin-soled loafers from Everlane, Khaite, The Row, Tod’s, among others, are part of a larger minimalist movement underpinned by simple white tees, well-fitting jeans, timeless trench coats.

In addition to the options in the essential black, for these shoes spring provides a palette of neutral colors such as ivory, beige, light brown, to be combined with white jeans or a pinstriped shirt-dress. The leather models are joined by those in woven fabric or macramé, also perfect for the summer, and in suede (Khaite and H&M).
