After nearly 20 hours of flights and countless reruns of Elite, I’m a born-again Spanish fashion fanatic. Dallas Cowboys Breast Cancer Awareness I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me T-shirt Although my style veers more towards understated silhouettes, neutral colors, and classic tailoring, two weeks in the Spanish capital of Madrid has breathed life into my closet. To the surprise of no one, the anti–skinny-jean trend remains strong. Spanish women are more receptive to out-there trends than their French neighbors, so baggy styles like cargo pants and ultra-wide trousers made guest appearances as well. Americana goes East. While cowboy boots boomed and slowly faded away among American influencers and celebrities (minus our favorite horse girl, Kendall Jenner), the Western staple still remains strong among Spain’s fashion crowd. Most of the women I spotted wearing them paired their boots with casual knit dresses—a combination I need to try for myself now that I’m back home. While European women are most often associated with dark colors and understated prints in the winter, Spanish women completely throw that rule out of the window. For every elegant Breton-stripe outfit I saw on the streets of Madrid, there was a loud and cheery knit top, cardigan, or sweater following close behind. Who said freezing temperatures have to be boring?

Just a quick glance at Barbara Martelo’s Instagram feed and there’s no denying she’s a huge fan of pointed-toe shoes. Dallas Cowboys Breast Cancer Awareness I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me T-shirt From mules to flats to pumps and ankle boots, the fashion editor and consultant has made the sleek style an integral part of her incredibly chic wardrobe and we’re paying close attention to how she pulls them off. She is one of the top street style stars each season after all. Martelo is known for her effortless-meets-edgy outfit formula, which is comprised mainly of blacks, whites, and grays. However, as we see in these shots, the main piece she wears when donning a pair of cool pointed-toe shoes is a pair of skinny jeans in a variety of colors, washes, and hem styles. Choosing a stylish sneaker for a non-athletic outfit walks a fine line: Too sporty may not look sophisticated enough with your favorite dress, and too simple can sometimes look unrefined. New Balance’s classic sneaker collection hits the sweet spot, with a wide range of retro-inspired shoes that call upon vintage athletic styling details. Plus, the look easily complements a midi-length skirt or trousers for a street style vibe.
