Mock
croc finishes are having a bit of a moment right now. The pattern has shaken
off its traditional associations and now lends itself to the sport luxe vibe,
with streamlined, urban pieces in a muted colour palette. Stamped over
accessories, from casual backpacks to high fashion heels, croc’s become a staple
across high street brands as well as the more exclusive labels, so here are a handful
of our favourite pieces
1. Croc leather coin purse, £12, Topshop
This simple coin purse from Topshop
has a definite Alexander Wang feel to it, with metal corners and a gold-toned
zip running across the top. And in bright cobalt blue, it recasts croc in the
most unexpected of colours.
2. Cutout Croc Cuff, £40, BCBG Max Azria
A striking piece of statement jewellery, BCBG Max Azria’s gold-plated
cuff winks at the mock croc trend with its intricate pattern. Perfect for
upgrading your everyday look to something special.
3. Backpack, £18, New Look
This leather look backpack has been taken to the next level, thanks to
mock croc panel at the top and metal-tipped straps. And the nude colour makes
it a versatile choice for summertime travels.
4. Tillie croc-effect leather sandals, £350, Acne Studios
We love pretty much everything that
Acne offers, and these sandals are no exception. The black sling-back leather
straps are classic, but that flash of deep red croc is of-the-moment modern.
5. Enfield shoulder bag, £535, Rag &Bone
Another one for the wishlist, Rag
& Bone have proven that mock croc finishes look just as good in white. Their
Enfield shoulder bag, with a slender strap and metallic closure, is sport luxe
styling at its best.
6. Trapeze bag, £18, Forever 21
The discreet wings and allover croc
pattern make this bag look more expensive than it actually is. With a
detatchable shoulder strap, it’s a versatile choice if you’re in need of a city
style bag – and again, there’s more than a hint of Alexander Wang about it.
7. Duffle croc bag, £490, McQ Alexander McQueen
In a brilliant shade of blue, this is
a luxurious take on the new croc. With studs across the top, a removable
crossbody strap, and a lambskin exterior, we’d love to have this in our
wardrobe.
8. Chiara sandals, £198 at The Outnet,
Alexander Wang
One of the designers really
responsible for giving croc texture a fresh lease of life, Alexander Wang seems
to effortlessly fuse it with his sporty, minimalist aesthetic. These Chiara
leather sandals are on sale at The Outnet, so we suggest you check them our
fast.
9. High Vamp Skaters, £20, Topshop
These milky textured skaters are one
of our favourite high street picks this season. Wear them with torn-up
boyfriend jeans, Bermuda shorts…everything. The chunky platforms gives them a
street edge, while the croc pattern is undeniably luxe.
