STYLE SUMMIT Why trekking to the corner shop is so hot right now…

Nobody walks any more. Walking is so last season. It’s hiking and all its accoutrements that have conquered the catwalks this A/W 17. The two Canadian pioneers who head up Dsquared2 had their models wearing fluoro outdoorsy laces, scout-style sewnon badges and soles as thick as tank tyres. But this is fashion hiking, dear readers, so you mustn’t actually break out in a sweat. We suggest that other than trekking to and from Starbucks, these are also good for kissing very tall people, holding on to the high rail on the Tube and, ahem, reaching top-shelf magazines.
