Guide to Fall Footwear
With the arrival of fall comes those unpredictable weather patterns, when we aren't sure what footwear is suitable and appropriate. Summer sales are finally wrapping up, and stores are stocking up on all those cool-weather staples. Keep scrolling to see a few of this seasons highlighted styles:
Fall Sneakers
Sneakers are everywhere this fall and are our go-to for those in-between sandals and boots weather. Sneakers have evolved from being strictly sporty to fashion-forward. With an abundance of styles in stores now, our stylists narrowed down four popular sneaker styles to try for fall.
Classic Tennis: These sleek sneakers are right for any season. They look great with a structured pencil skirt and comfy sweatshirt. They are the ideal summer-to-fall transition sneaker.
Velvet: Velvet is one of the most popular materials during fall and winter. Complete any outfit while giving a totally vintage allure.
Slip-On: Nothing says "effortless cool" like a slip-on sneaker. A laid back California skater vibe, with a simple rubber sole is a sporty upgrade to your favorite flats.
Platform: For the ladies out there that like a little height, the platform sneaker is the answer! They are the perfect shoe to help you stay practical during your day, while remaining cool, comfortable and trendy. Rock them with cute dresses, jeans, and even workwear.
Western
We know what you are thinking with this trend... and no we don't mean Annie Oakley. Western inspiration in footwear (and fashion) is everywhere this fall! By this, we mean stitching, embellishment details, color palette and even the shape of the shoe. The great thing about this trend is that the western tones are for the most part, neutral make it easy to pair with an existing wardrobe.
Boots
Get ready to make some major room in your closet. We are happy to welcome new style and trends, and even bring back old ones:
Combat Boots: The best thing about Docs is that there are so many options and endless ways to wear them.
Over-the-Knee Boots: Over-the-knee boots are nothing new. If you are feeling glamorous, you’ll definitely want to lean towards this style, if you don’t have a pair already.
Slouch: Whether in studs, snakeskin or suede, a good slouchy boot makes bohemian feel modern.
Fall Prints
Nothing says fall like plaid, animal or houndstooth prints! If your everyday wardrobe uniform is primarily black, (guilty), a pop of fall textures, prints or colors can elevates your look this season.
Brogues
Whether metallic, crocodile embossed, or in a slip-on style, brogues make any look more polished and sophisticated. We love that this shoe style can replace basic flats for added style!
Slingback
If heeled boots or booties aren't your thing, we've got a comfy yet stylish alternative! Try slingback flats and kitten heel footwear.
