Shoes are another piece that we struggle with when Fall set in. I have a really hard time letting go of my flip flops and open toe shoes. I go through this every year. And from what I have noticed around me, I'm not alone. I go out and see girls in riding boots, ankle booties, flats and flip flops all in the same afternoon. We are slow to let go of Summer and/or quick to embrace Fall.
I'm not quite ready to put on my UGGs as I know I'll be living in them for months to come. So what other options do I have in the footwear department? Read on!
Toms Canvas Women's Classic Shoe
Toms: These classic shoes are comfortable flats. If you are not familiar with the brand, you should absolutely check them out. The classic style comes in a number of colors and patterns. They are a great casual shoe. The brand now produces a large variety of shoes, including booties and fashionable flats.
Ann Taylor Sonya Fringe Suede Booties
Booties: These come in a variety of style and colors. You can find these in low heels, high heels, stilettos or wedges. These shoes can work well for both casual and dressed up occasions.
Knee High Boots: In a flat version, these are called riding boots and work great with jeans or leggings. They are both functional and stylish. In a high heel, these can be great with a skirt or a dress. These shoes have been in style for years now and have become something of a classic.
Stuart Weitzman The Highland Boot
Thigh High Boots (Over the Knee Boots): These boots are gaining traction. They have been seen all over the runway lately and slowly making a bigger impact on street style. I think that some women may feel as though this type of boot can come off as trashy and therefore steer clear of it. I've seen this boot worn with jeans or leggings and it can come off incredibly stylish. If you're looking to push the envelope a little or try something a little edgy, this can be a great option!
Ann Taylor Tessa D'Orsay Suede Pump
Pumps: These are the classic high heel that come in all kinds of fabrics, colors and heel height. The suede pump is especially popular right now in a D'Orsay style. These shoes can give an otherwise casual outfit a little extra sophistication.
Cole Haan Amalia Cap Toe Skimmer
Flats: These shoes come a number of styles. There is the classic ballet flat which is both flattering and very comfortable. Then there is the trendy D'Orsay flat which you find almost anywhere right now. This flat can be dressed up easily. Another popular type of flat is the loafer or driving moccasin which is more casual that the previous two I mentioned. These types of shoes are not super warm for your feet but can be great for the office or outdoors in slightly warmer weather. Leopard print flats are especially on trend right now!
Banana Republic Krissy Slip On
Slip On Sneakers: These sneakers have recently gained more popularity. They are great for transitioning out of flip flops and into something with a closed toe for fall. These shoes work well with jeans and cropped pants for a comfy casual look.
I hope this helps to give you some great ideas for fall footwear!
