French luxury brand Hermès saves the (cold and windy) day with pumps in suede goatskin with a jewel heel in handworked metal, ankle boots in calfskin, suede and shearling, and to-die-for urban wellies

It’s that time of year again. The weather is cooling down, parties are being planned, and we’re shifting our wardrobes to more muted colours, soft suedes and cosy knits. There’s a reason autumn and winter are the favourite seasons of many, and the changeover from the light and bright clothes of summer into layers and chunky boots plays a big part in the excitement that people feel for this time of year.

While there may be fewer occasions to go out and get glammed up during these difficult times, there are still opportunities to impress. And nothing is more motivating than finding a classic piece that rounds out your outfit, or a bold one around which you can create a whole look.

This season, Hermès is giving us something to dress up for.

Its new collection of ankle boots, trainers and pumps for men and women features contemporary silhouettes in a wealth of luxurious materials that elevate your winter shoe style.

In the men’s collection, three ankle boots are offered in various combinations of calfskin, suede and shearling. The boot in suede calfskin bears a lug sole, removable strap and a coloured lace for a trekking style in classic Hermès boot making tradition.

The men’s collection also carries a sleek derby on top of a sturdy, durable rubber lug sole, and two models of trainers: a mottled technical canvas and suede goatskin sneaker with a lightweight sole and vamp, and another timeless model in Epsom calfskin with a monochrome style – perfect for the dressed down, but still fashionable look.
