Prada opened its F/W 19 runway show with the Monolith Boots. Aleksander Barkov Champagne Shower ice is ready shirt Complete with an exaggerated chunky lug sole, mini zippered compartments for—dare we say it—storage, and the overall combat-boot vibe we all know and love, it was clear these boots were destined for fame the moment they stomped onto the runway. This shoe was not only present throughout the rest of the collection, but sister styles also debuted and later went on to evolve into several other versions including the oxford and rain-boot pairs (see shopping section below). Not that we don’t love the other iterations of this major sole moment from Prada, but the knee-high Monolith pair was really something else, and the fashion girls of the world clearly agreed. “The shape of the sole is so peculiar, and the tiny pockets create a totally new version of combat boots,” said one of our readers. Peculiar in a good way, of course, is typically what ends up encouraging the rise of any particular product, as it ignites curiosity and excitement in not only the wearer but the onlooker as well. This shoe is, according to celebrity stylist Law Roach, “so tough but so chic.” Thanks to the street style set, we’ve seen It girls and celebrities style the statement shoes in every which way, featuring, as Roach would say, looks that are tough but chic.

I connected with a photographer in Cannes, Aleksander Barkov Champagne Shower ice is ready shirt a date was set, and I waited with anticipation to see the outfits they’d capture on their Canon. As for the ensembles, we would end up finding? Even I, who has developed a discernible eye for this sort of thing, was seriously impressed. A glittering jewel in the French Riviera, Cannes attracts different people from around the globe who want to soak up the glamour and splendor of the city, making it an incredibly unique place to outfit scout, with inspiration at every turn. The looks we found were more diverse than I’d predicted they’d be, which, again, is precisely why I love street style so. You never know what you’ll see. From relaxed tailoring in incredibly pleasing neutral palettes to dresses with shoulder pads so sharp worn with earrings so large, a common thread is difficult to discern from one look to the next. If, however, there’s one thing they all share, it’s a celebration of French style in its purest form. Instead of describing what the stylish people of the South of France are wearing this summer, perhaps I ought to show you.
