Our favourite shoes!

Let us present to you: OUR favourite models!

As in every company at Melvin & Hamilton we have colleagues with different styles, today 4 of them show them their favourite model!

⁰¹ Nicolas - CEO

Q: What’s your favourite model and why?

I cannot pick just one, but at least two IT pieces. The first is the sneaker Magic 1. It's all in the name as this says pretty much how incredibly comfortable it is and how versatile you can wear it. The perfect sportswear sneaker with a fashion twist.

And the 2nd is the bootie Elvis 25. A bootie has to be part of your must-have pieces if you follow Melvin & Hamilton. The entire Elvis family and especially the black booties are amongst the hottest pieces I like to wear. The elegant rock-style par excellence !

Q: What’s your favourite detail of the shoe?

The sole of the Magic provides stability and walking comfort while looking very stylish. On the Elvis style, most people look at the skull as the detail, but for me it's the incredible elegant shape that gives make your feet stand out with any outfit.

Q: How would you style them?

Magic 1 goes with any kind of jeans, chino or sportswear. Trendy people would even combine it with a suit.

Elvis 25 is a rocky style. Blue, black or white jeans, skinny or wide doesn't matter. if you really want to stand out, wear it with cotton unicoloured trousers or with a light plaid pattern!

Q: Where would you wear them? / Which occasions would you wear the model to?

Magic 1 is an allrounder for shopping trips, chill out with friends (not too many as we are still in 2020) or any kind of casual occasion

Elvis 25 is perfect for any kind of after-work drink (the bars will open again, dont worry) or weekend party tour.

⁰² Lynn - Communications & Social Media Manager

Q: What’s your favourite model and why?

I am a huge fan of our ankle & Chelsea boots collections! Especially, I am really into our black models (it goes with everything!), BUT with an interesting twist like a special leather or detail! This season favourites for me are our Susan 46 French Patent Nappa Black Rivets with its structured leather and rivets (edgy & classy at the same time!) or the Selina 45 Black Buckle Luna Gold with its big golden buckle...

Q: What’s your favourite detail of the shoe?

That's an easy one: For Selina, I love the big golden buckle and the thick rubber sole and for Susan the structured leather and the patent leather toe.

Q: How would you style them?

Oh, so many ideas, but at the moment, I am having a little 60s moment, so I would combine our Susan 46 with a houndstooth print skirt, a turtleneck in black or white and a beret. And Selina makes a great fit with a grey or black cropped mom jeans, any basic pullover / shirt, a faux shearling or teddy coat and a beanie.

Q: Where would you wear them? / Which occasions would you wear the model to?

Its depends on where you are working, but I totally see Susan 46 in a fashion / creative environment, otherwise it is a quit festive shoe, so for the holidays it is also a perfect match. Selina 45 on the other hand, is a good choice for walks, the thick rubber sole goes a long way. All in all, I would say, that both shoes are perfect when you feel like dressing up (also for yourself) without overdoing it.

Q: What’s your favourite model and why?

The Dave 3 is one of my favourites. Some perfect lines, simple and elegants you can not go wrong with this kind of Monks. Add to this a rubber sole and you have a stylish and still, a really confortable shoes. A classic !

Q: What’s your favourite detail of the shoe?

Of course you will find the two buckles proper to monk shoes, but my favorite detail is probably the red leather linning added to the red rubber sole. No compromise, style and confort at the same time.

Q: How would you style them?

For me, definitely with a black trousers. And due to a sober and a timeless design, the Dave 3 fits perfectly with a chic outfit or something more rock.

Q: Where would you wear them? / Which occasions would you wear the model to?

Depending on the outfit, it's a perfect all arround.A day of work or a party, there is no need of a special occasion to wear them. The Dave 3 will match your style and your mood.

⁰⁴ Julia - Online Merchandiser intern

Q: What’s your favourite model and why?

My absolute IT-piece of this season's collection is our May 15 (Soft Shiny Nappa Black Snake King).I love how the model combines the biggest trends of this year: western boot and knee high boot. The boot is the perfect eye catcher and can be styled so versatile. For me, an absolute MUST-HAVE if you like to have fun with fashion and you like to stand out with your style!

Q: What’s your favourite detail of the shoe?

For sure the height of the boot - which is perfect for wearing dresses, which I love. Secondly of course the trendy details: stars and animal print for the win!

Q: How would you style them?

In my opinion, these boots are made to stand out - so they don’t need a lot more! I would style them with a cute little dress, throw on a matching coat and a cool bag - you're ready for the streets of the fashion capitals of the world!

Q: Where would you wear them? / Which occasions would you wear the model to?

I would totally wear them out shopping with my friends and having a coffee - or even for a night out having some drinks!
