Retro-futuristic trends resurface

The retro-futuristic aesthetic of the 1960s is making a return, reviving several key trends from that era, including the microskirt, monochromatic suits, and the go-go boots. These trends reflect a fascination with the era's bold designs and cultural shifts.

Go-go boots make a comeback

Go-go boots, originally white and characterized by their mid-calf height and small square heel, have returned to fashion. They were featured prominently in Drew Henry's first fashion show for Courrèges, as part of the spring-summer 2026 collection, made of vinyl or glossy leather.

Origins of go-go boots

The concept of go-go boots dates back to 1964, when André Courrèges first imagined them. These boots became a signature of his Space Age aesthetic and were quickly embraced by the mod scene, aligning with its avant-garde spirit and the era's forward-thinking fashion.

Nancy Sinatra and the white boots

Nancy Sinatra is one of the most iconic figures associated with white go-go boots. Her 1966 song These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ features a memorable music video in which she wears a pair of white boots with trapezoid dresses, symbolizing the emancipation and confidence of young women in the 1960s.

Sienna Spiro and 1960s inspiration

Young soul singer Sienna Spiro draws inspiration from the 1960s, expressing admiration for Nancy Sinatra and the era’s fashion. She incorporates 1960s silhouettes, such as trapezoid minidresses and spotless go-go boots, into her performances, reinterpreting them with a contemporary twist.
