OBJECT OF DESIRE: THE CRÊPE OUTSOLE

What it is:

We live in the age of street style. Anything goes, the individual is the center of attention. Designers are inspired by cool dressed hipsters and not any more vice-versa. If you look at street style photos from London, Copenhagen or Berlin at the moment, you will notice that many of the cool shoes have crêpe soles. The very soles that have been synonymous with smugness for decades are currently celebrating a comeback and are as much a part of the scene as spaghetti ice cream and cold brew coffee.

What many of the fans don’t know (but are certainly delighted with the information): The crêpe sole is a natural product and is made of 100 percent natural rubber. The production is complex and many times more expensive than plastic versions. The sole is, therefore, a real ecologist with hipster qualities.

Whom it suits:

Especially for those who like to dress in a casual and cool way. Both men and women can buy shoes with crêpe outsoles. There are the most different variants. She rather prefers casual booties in Indian style. He goes for low shoes or desert boots.

How to wear:

Since the crêpe sole, as I said, had the modernity of a dusty curtain for a long time, you have to make sure that shoes are styled very coolly. Roll up your chino or jeans. Combine colorful socks with them. The wilder the look, the more neutral the color of the shoes.  However: If you opt for colorful models with crêpe soles, a simple outfit in beige, gray or blue makes more sense. Especially cool people dare to wear eye-catching crêpe soles in a very light color.
