But let's begin with the styles from the main collection.


Patent, and unlined leathers in lace-up styles, and golf shoes are available in soft pastels, like buttery creams, nudes, and café au lait for a sweet and tomboy style. We especially loved the standout details, whether they be a perforated vamp, kilting, T-bars, cut-outs, or our favorite detail, the geometric laser etching.


Clarks also has you ready for the sun in chic designs, available in traditional hues, bold brights, and sparkly neutrals with many bearing eye-catching embellishments, and razor cut soles. Wedges shine in glossy patent, metallic leathers, perforated uppers, and cork wrapped and rubber soles.

Sporty styles feature a high-tech palette of white, silver and pops of color, tumbled leather and feather-light mesh, aerodynamic soles and sports-luxe details, and their Flex 3 technology that give the footwear styles a lighter than air feel.


Moving on to the capsule collections, Clarks partnered with London's Victoria and Albert Museum to bring forth a collection that highlights the 1960s. The groovy capsule collection boasts updated 60s looks, patterns and prints. Flatter heels, Mary Janes, and sling-back pumps. Collection details include an eye-catching Willian Morris imbued print (shown below), square toes, block heels, glossy patent leather, and oversized kilting.


The Clarks X Christopher Raeburn collection was inspired by the indigenous tribes and jungles of Borneo, and includes utilitarian boots with recycled soles, elegant, cork-strapped sandals and sophisticated trainers in leather and high-tech mesh, effortlessly combining functionality, fun and a trailblazing design aesthetic.
