Cole Haan partnered with us for an exclusive styling session led by the Acting Deputy Editor (me, yay) and stylist extraordinaire Marguerita Christoforidis. As busy women, we are constantly on the go. That means juggling deadlines, meetings, and somehow still making evening plans. We presented a firsthand look at their Fall-Winter 2025 collection that matches our lifestyle.
The collection tackles something we’ve all experienced: that 3 PM. moment when your feet are screaming, your bag strap is digging into your shoulder, and you still have three more hours before you can finally kick off your shoes. Cole Haan’s solution? Innovative comfort technology that doesn’t look like orthopedic footwear or sacrifice an ounce of sophistication.
Rooted in nearly a century of craftsmanship, the brand has seamlessly woven advanced features into genuinely chic pieces. We’re talking lightweight cushioning that makes you forget you’ve been standing through back-to-back meetings, ergonomic bag straps that distribute weight so evenly you barely notice you’re carrying anything, and flexible materials that move with you rather than against you. Premium leathers meet breathable elements and adjustable fits.
What impressed us most was the versatility. These aren’t pieces you swap out mid-day; they’re designed to transition effortlessly from your morning commute to client lunches to after-work drinks without missing a beat. The loafers that looked polished in the conference room? Equally at home at happy hour. That structured tote? Sophisticated enough for the office, functional enough for spontaneous evening plans.
The takeaway from our styling session was clear: Cole Haan gets it. They understand that the modern woman needs shoes and bags that work as hard as she does. Because true style isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling confident and comfortable enough to take on whatever the day throws your way.
