Recently, the first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, who is considered by many to be an example of elegance and style, has been seen wearing simple shoes. The public figure favored chunky pairs with simple designs, which she combined with her business outfits.

Krystyna Aleksiychuk, a style expert and lecturer at the Andre Tan Academy of Style and Design, told OBOZ.UA what Olena Zelenska's choice could symbolize, as she usually wears classic and elegant shoes.

The fashion expert pointed out that Olena Zelenska's choice of clothes is guided not only by aesthetic criteria but also by comfort and quality of materials.

"In the spring season, we often see Olena in loafers. This is a truly trendy model that has not lost its position for several seasons in a row and has already become a classic. The woman also chooses shoes in a masculine style (derby) for her looks. This type of footwear indicates seriousness of intentions and adds elegance. Not only the first lady's good taste is conveyed, but also her strength and determination," explained Kristina Aleksiychuk.

The stylist suggested another meaning of such a choice in the first lady's wardrobe, namely, the fight for gender equality.

"Men's shoes also reflect the movement of modern fashion towards gender equality and break down stereotypes about women's and men's clothing. In this way, Olena Zelenska supports the progressive trends of society and chooses comfort for herself," the style expert said.

According to the stylist, such pairs could be seen in the collections of many famous brands: Prada, Miu Miu, Victoria Beckham, The Row. According to Kristina Aleksiychuk, loafers and derbies will be relevant in the fall of 2024.
