Although fashion brands like Jimmy Choo tend to experiment with different styles and designs, it’s not often that they get recognized for their casual offerings. Even though these brands have plenty of bold and out-of-the-box designs that catch the eye, their subdued pieces can also grab attention. In their latest release, Jimmy Choo plays with a simple silhouette for their Diamond Collection. With their new design, the brand opts for a slimmer and sleek sneaker that you can easily use with most of your wardrobe. Fans of the brand can choose the best option for their closet with the two colorways available: ruby red and black.
