Try Keds “Eleanor” for bold, rock star patterns
I’m a big fan of colour and eye-grabbing designs, hence my love for Pucci. Shoes are always a great way to wear some bold patterns - you can get a lot of pow out of a simple pair of shoes. Ballet flats are great for this. The simple, modest design just begs for some pizazz. Unfortunately, sometimes this can get out of hand, as Lilly Pulitzer demonstrates here:
This is the Lilly Pulitzer Wrap it Up ballet flat. The pattern is apparently called “Jewel of the Pool”. I call it “Rich leprechauns on LSD”. These flats would almost work if it weren’t for the guady buckle and clunky loafer shape. Now if you’ll excuse me, looking at this shoe is causing me retinal damage.
Mischa Barton endorsed shoe brand Keds is known for producing stylish, casual flats for everyday comfort. They offer a patterned ballet flat that’s stylish, without going over the top:
These are just two of the patterns that the Keds “Eleanor” offers. There are thirteen different prints all together, all featuring bold patterns designed by rock poster artist Eleanor Grosch. Some models feature mary jane details, some have faux shearling, but all of them are super stylish.
What do you think of the Keds “Eleanor”? Rock star chique or ugly, loud racket?
