Buckle up Style Solutions readers, because this season’s footwear trends will make your rack o’shoes haute and heavy. Buckles, stacked-heel style, are making their way back from the Plymouth Colony days thanks to fashion-crush Marc Jacobs. He brought the trend to his fall/winter 2012 runway, securing buckled shoes in accessory hierarchy. For those who prefer a more feminine aesthetic, don’t let this menswear-inspired style intimidate you from trying a pair–you can simply combine them with chunky and glamorous costume jewelry galore and girly silhouettes to create a hard/soft effect on the eye. Below are some of my favorites.
