When it comes to accessories, finishing your look with the perfect bag or pair of shoes undeniably goes a long way to elevate a whole outfit. That’s one of the main reasons why great accessories are hardly ever a wasted investment. They can make even jeans and a jumper look a million dollars, season after season. That doesn’t necessarily mean you need to break the bank with designer styles to achieve such a look, though, especially not when Charles & Keith is involved.
The Singaporean megabrand has been a notable hit with fashion insiders and influencers alike since its website arrived here back in 2018. It’s no surprise, really. Its elegant but architectural designs stand out from the generic high-street crowd whilst still coming in at an accessible under-£100 price tag.
Here at Who What Wear, we like to think of it as our responsibility to report on must-have pieces and names to know, and we’ve recently found ourselves writing article after article on the sell-out sway of some of Charles & Keith’s cult styles. The last few seasons have seen the brand toted at global fashion weeks—the ultimate seal of approval, especially given the ubiquity of designer styles in such an environment.
We have high hopes, then, for the new autumn collection which has just dropped. From modern ballerina flats and chic transitional loafers to trend-ticking strappy sandals we’d happily risk frostbite for, this release appears to be no different from its über-successful predecessors.
