Last year, the pandemic not only normalized lounge clothes but also footwear. In addition to wearing less “normal” going out clothes, we also simultaneously ditched heels, boots and the like. Now that we have resumed a semi-state of normalcy, I am more excited than ever to bust out my fall wardrobe for 2021. Along with clothing, footwear continues to remain one of my favorite accessory counterparts! This autumn and winter, there are a lot of trendy styles that will undeniably elevate your looks. The season is basically upon us so this is your sign to invest in the latest trends to accentuate your own outfits as we gear up to switch seasons. Keep reading below to discover the top fall shoe trends worth buying today!
Lug Sole, Knee-High Boots
The return of fall gets me hyped about reintroducing boots back into the mix and this is the pair you are going to want to invest in now! This lug sole style demands all the attention this season. It is a footwear that will add instant vampiness to your looks. It is also a hot contender simply because they are comfortable and ideal for stomping around time. My only suggestion is to grab a pair now so you can use them to transition your summer clothing to fall.
Punky Loafers
The next footwear trend has a similar aesthetic to the previous in the fact that these loafers have a more punky, militarian vibe. This footwear silhouette has always been a staple in menswear for dressier attire but I love that it is making a behemoth of a return this season. The high-rise version of the loafer is both sophisticated and fashionable – the perfect footwear investment if you are looking for something to suit both work and play
Cozy Slides
On the other hand, if you are not quite ready to give up the luxury of comfort this fall, there is no reason to fret because one of the biggest fall shoe trends are actually cozy slides.
This look is all about the texture so this means shoes embellished with sherpa and faux-fur. I love this trend because it adds a really fun, carefree vibe to your more casual outfits.
Clogs
Out of all the latest fall shoe trends, this one took me by surprise the most. Admittedly, I was not sure how to feel about it at first. Now that I see the clogs everywhere, it has grown on me! There is also something so satisfying about that signature sound you hear when you clomp around town. Plus, the clogs themselves have totally evolved. You can shop everything from clogs with pop colors, added studded detailing and even faux shearling trim.
Metallic
Honestly, I do not need to read the trend forecast to convince me to wear this next look. If you know my style, you know I love to throw in some statement accessories. I am completely ecstatic that metallic footwear is on the rise! It is such a bold, tastefully flashy way to spice up your fall and winter wardrobe. I am completely on board for anything from jewel encrusted flats all the way to complete metallic OTK boots.
Without a doubt, these are the top fall shoe trends I am looking forward to styling! Which trend are you most excited for?
