Grab Your Discman, Kathryn Wilson Winter’26 is Here
Kathryn Wilson is leaning into the 90s for Winter ’26, which is very cool because anyone who grew up in the era knows it was the absolute peak of fashion, television (here’s looking at you Baywatch), music, and music technology formats – here’s looking at you TLC and the Sony Discman. It was even a peak for dietary education, with sugar-coated flakes of pure carbs being the ultimate way to start the day. Ah, what a decade.

Our undisputed high priestess of heels has bottled that high-energy, effortless 90s confidence and poured it into a collection of silhouettes that are understated, refined, and seriously sleek. Forget the grunge; this is the refined side of the decade, featuring calf-hair finishes, croc-embossed leathers, and rich chocolate hues that feel effortlessly elevated.
Wilson has brought back the classic stilettos, slingbacks, and platform heels that can actually take you from morning meetings to late-night dining with ease. For those of us who need to stay grounded, she’s delivered the ultimate winter essentials: knee-grazing boots with stable mid-height heels and loafers in everything from chocolate suede to luxe python.
Even the off-duty look gets a 90s technical upgrade with trail-inspired trainers that prove you don’t have to compromise on chic for comfort. Whether it’s the high-shine metals or the modern satin ballet flats, the craftsmanship is front and centre, reminding us why Kathryn Wilson remains a footwear legend.
