Shoe lovers, shoe lovers, hear ye, hear ye. Come one, come all and see the , a great friend to shoe fashionistas everywhere. Forecasting the prevailing trends of any given season is always a delightful thing, and when you can go buy those trends with a few extra clicks and all without leaving the comfort of your air conditioned, in-from-the-crazy-humidity-and-heat home or office… well thats a foolproof formula, if you ask me.
So, what do we have in store for us this fall?
First off, the major trend (and we saw this at the WSA Show last week, too): booties! Think ankle height and youll be golden for fall on-trend status.
These booties are also great at bringing different decades of style into your wardrobe. How so?
Well, check out the 70s disco fever stylings of these mirror ball like ($198).
Or if youre looking for a little Victorian era Dickens style in your life, try these ($110). Say it with me now. Please sir. I want some more.
And if youre digging the 80s revival, go with these ($129) and strut around with either leggings and a big belt over a tunic, or swing toward the punk side with some leather cuffs, skinny black jeans, and an old band t-shirt. What can I say, Im a sucker for the punk look, and I just re-watched and got all geeked out on the style.
Ill cheat for a minute and leave Nordstroms in the name of sharing my absolute favorite bootie for fall, the gorgeous ($575). Super luxe, very posh, and good for your feet, too! And dont forget the gray… also a big trendy color this fall… which brings us to…
Our next Fall Trend. Thats right: Gray, Baby! Since this is a color choice, there are lots of ways to work this trend into your shoe collection. Everything from this adorable suede and sequins ($285)
to this divine ($99).
Want to kill two trend birds with one stone? Grab this gray ($130).
I think the next trend might be my favorite of them all. Menswear Detailing. I always like shoes (and clothes for that matter) that have some androgyny to them. Lots of people are showing high heels with oxford lacing, like this beautiful ($130).
But if youre like me and say an automatic NO WAY to a heel that high (thats 4.5 inches, folks, and with only a .75 inch platform to help you out), then try something like the ($99), which takes that classic of mens blazers: tweed, and makes it sweet and feminine.
If youve been looking at all the delicious candy-colored patents shining around you and hoping youll be able to incorporate something so flash into fall, youre in luck. Shiny Metallics for daytime wear are the next trend, and Nordstrom has some doozies on offer. Again, since this is a color story, you can find this one on pretty much any kind of shoe. These ($198) could almost serve as a mirror to check your makeup. Just be careful wearing skirts!
And these (only $79) incorporate the shine of the metallic with the blue that will be making a big splash come next springtime. Snag this little shoe, and youll be set for several seasons to come. Seems like a worthwhile investment for that much trendiness.
And last, but certainly not least in our fall trend rundown: T-straps and Mary Janes. These are feminine classics, and its hard to go wrong.
Try something rounded like this ($160)
or if youve got the feet to pull them off without intense pain, something sharper and pointier like this ($295). T-strap: check. Shiny metallic: check. Super trendy: double and triple check.
