Aft er a season of pastels, whites and minimalist ’90s chic comes a bolder and more dramatic aesthetic on the runways. Expect Fall/Winter to be dominated by brightly coloured furs, glitter, oversized puffer jackets and head-turning hues of reds, pinks and purples. Fitting stylishly into this trend is Aldo’s Fall 2016 collection. From blockheeled loafers to jacquard pumps, pointy slip-ons and structured handbags, Aldo’s latest offerings in leather and suede, as well as in darker shades, are a plush update for the new season. Here are five shoes and accessories that’ll take you from work to weekend, and day to night, in effortless style.

ISLIP CROSSBODY BAG, $109

Structured bags continue to dominate the runways, which means this Islip bag is very much on-trend, but with a retro edge. It is enhanced by goldtone hardware, a chain shoulder strap and turn lock closure.

CEARI LEATHER SANDALS, $199

Channelling the neo- Victorian vibe of the new season is the Ceari sandal. You’ll be the belle of the ball in tall heels, suede, and sultry shades of dusty pink and burgundy.

BIACCI SHOES, $139

Start your workday in this shoe with an ankle strap. Available in bordeaux, midnight blue and black, it has a golden mini block heel to add height and a dash of glamour without being too showy. Team it with cropped cigarette pants and you’re all business.
