I don’t pretend to be an expert on fashion. I know that I like my t-shirts to have one big hole at the bottom and three smaller ones at the top and I know that jeans work best when they are about foot-height shy of being the length of my legs. That is the sum of my expertise. I can tell you, though, with absolute confidence and surety, that Harry Styles wore some deeply wack shoes to the ARIAs tonight.
I don’t even have the language to describe these. Are they some sort of dress croc? They look like a cross between a traditional Dutch clog and those square-toed pointy shoes every dude was pairing with their skinny tie in 2009. Gaze upon these beasts with your own two eyes:

Clearly the ultimate footwear for if you intend to combine a formal occasion with a brief walk around the surface of the moon. The court of public opinion was not exceptionally generous to these boxy zapatos:

Although it was not universal (uh, sort of?):

They may look terrible now, but we’ll see who’s laughing when in 3 years time the trend in men’s shoes is making them the size of a moonboot and the colour of Goldmember‘s clothes.
