So long, sandals. Fall is almost here, which means we’re overhauling our shoe wardrobe in anticipation of chillier days. From cowboy boots to dad sneakers, here are six trends we can’t wait to try.
6 Shoe Trends We Can't Wait to Take for a Spin This Fall
Leopard Print
Leopard is so hot right now. If you’re not ready to go all in with a dress or coat, a chic pair of shoes is a great way to dip your toe—literally—into the trend.
Get the look: Sam Edelman ($170); Marc Fisher LTD ($200); Rag & Bone ($475)
Clunky Sneakers
Giant, chunky sneaks have been going strong for a while, and they’re not going anywhere this fall. Comfier—and way more supportive—than heels, they’re very fashion-y but don’t take themselves too seriously. (As in, you wear them knowing and accepting that they’re kind of ugly.)
Get the look: Zara ($70); Puma ($100); Jeffrey Campbell ($145)
Bows
Speaking of feminine pieces, expect to see a lot of bows this fall. Similar to how we’d style Western boots, we love the idea of pairing bow-laden flats or heels with more masculine pieces like trousers and oversize coats.
Get the look: Louise et Cie ($130); Tory Burch ($258); Gucci ($595)
Lug-sole Boots
Where fashion meets function, these boots will get you through the ravages of fall and winter weather without sacrificing anything, style-wise. Wear them with cropped or rolled pants to show them off in all their glory.
