We’re big brogues gals. The sturdiest member of the flat family is ideal for these Autumn days and evenings, and thanks to Clarks and M&S you can embrace the jewel tones of the season.

Keira Knightley is one of the best ambassador for the shoe, regularly treading indie festival red carpets with a pair.
Hamble Oak Dark Grean Lea €99
If you’re after your own pair we’d recommend a visit to M&S where the Autograph range has a simple variation on the theme (?77) in three shades that will work with most colour combinations.
