Everything from preppy Mary Janes to edgy Tabis: these footwear trends will elevate your style with every step.
As the days start to get colder and the leaves begin to change, it’s time to step up your shoe game for autumn. These 9 footwear trends promise to keep you warm and cosy throughout the fall and really elevate your outfit.
1. Mary Janes
Mary Janes are a timeless staple for autumn! This season offers versatility: style a classic pair with white socks for a preppy outfit, add them to an evening ensemble for a touch of elegance, or go for a chunkier pair to achieve more of a modern look.
2. Pops of Red
This season is all about red, and what better way to give your outfit a pop of colour than with some snazzy footwear? Red shoes are a perfect fit for warm, autumnal tones. If you’re looking for something casual, pair a bold red shoe with a plain T-shirt and jeans. The possibilities are endless!
3. Tabi boots
Tabi boots were originally launched by Maison Margiela and inspired by Japanese socks that have been used for centuries. The split-toes may not be for everyone, but they give the black boot a unique twist. You can find them in a range of colours and designs, such as flats, heels or platforms.
4. Pointy heels
If you’re looking for a way to dress up a look, grab some pointy heels! Simple shiny black heels can look sharp and sophisticated, either in an office setting or on a night out. But if you’re looking for something more daring look for a pair with bright colours, prints, interesting straps, lace or ribbons.
5. Ballet-inspired shoes
Ballet-inspired footwear is making a comeback this season. You can opt for standard ballerina flats, which are comfortable but look neat and stylish. Or find a pair of shoes with a bit of a heel and maybe even a square toe. This footwear can add a bit of a fun, feminine look to an everyday outfit.
6. Metallics
Shimmer and shine are in this fall. A shoe with a metallic finish can effortlessly transition from day to night, bringing versatility to your wardrobe. Silver boots, sneakers or heels can really add a touch of glamour.
7. Cowboy Boots
The distinctive silhouette of cowboy boots can be so fun to style in the autumn. You can experiment with colours, patterns and lengths. Wear them with mini skirts to really show them off or cover them up with some flares, the choice is yours!
8. Loafers
Easy-to-wear loafers are an essential. A classic pair can have a very vintage and nostalgic look. However, you can also find some updated, more contemporary pieces. Look for a chunky sole, a bold colour or texture.
9. Knee-high boots
This will come as no surprise, but boots with a high rise are a great choice for autumn. Both practical and stylish, you can find knee-high boots in a variety of colours, patterns, shapes and styles. There are so many kinds to choose from!
