Step Aside, Summer Sandals! Fall Footwear Forecast is Here!
Autumn is the perfect time to refresh your shoe collection. We consulted with three professional stylists to get the inside scoop on what footwear trends are hot – and what’s not – for this fall.
Suede is King: Get ready to see suede everywhere this season! This luxurious material adds instant warmth and softness to any outfit, from casual everyday looks to elegant evening attire. Suede sneakers offer a comfortable yet stylish option, while suede boots elevate any ensemble.
Peep-Toe Perfection: Peep-toe shoes are making a comeback! This classic style pairs beautifully with trousers, dresses, or cropped pants, adding a touch of chic to your fall wardrobe.
Boat Shoes Beyond Summer: Boat shoes aren’t just for summer anymore! Their distinctive stitching and lace-up design bring a vintage vibe to fall outfits. Try pairing them with cuffed jeans and an oversized button-up shirt, or embrace a preppy look with midi socks and pleated shorts.
Knee-High Boots Reign Supreme: Knee-high boots are a fall essential, and this season’s styles are sleek, versatile, and comfortable. Team them with skinny jeans and a cozy sweater for an effortlessly polished autumnal look.
Mules and Clogs: Slip into Style: Mules and clogs are having a major moment this fall. From classic designs to platform styles, sneaker-inspired slides, and elevated suede options, there’s a mule or clog for every taste. Minimalist mules with sleek shapes are also trending.
Saying Goodbye to Chunky Boots: The reign of chunky boots is over (for now!). Sleeker styles are taking center stage. Opt for riding boots, cowboy boots, or streamlined silhouettes for a more updated look.
Metallic is Out, Satin is In: While metallic finishes were a fun throwback to Y2K fashion, they’re starting to feel a bit dated. Satin offers a more sophisticated alternative, adding a soft sheen that complements the warm tones of fall.
Logos Are Out, Texture is In: This season, it’s all about rich textures and colors, not flashy logos. Think earthy suedes, polished leathers, and deep seasonal hues that make a statement on their own.
Square Toes Take the Lead: While pointy-toe heels remain a classic, square-toed pumps and boots are gaining popularity. Square-toe loafers paired with trousers or square-toe ankle boots with midi skirts or leggings create a chic and modern fall look.
