Trends come and go, but you know what’s always in style? Flexing those creative muscles and finding ways to wear old items. Take shoes, for example: each year, the same options come back into rotation, but it’s the outfit you pair ’em with jeans and a tee, a sweater dress and a scarf that makes them feel new again. This season, we’re skipping that shopping spree, snagging only what we "need," and coming up with ways to revamp our old footwear. Scroll on for a few ideas inspired by street style stars, then check out the shoe styles every woman should own.
1. Ankle Boots
While basic booties will always pair well with boyfriend jeans, bloggers and influencers have another great way of showing them ’em off: with a pair of cropped pants, from jeans to culottes.
2. Sneakers
These days, it seems like sneakers are the most versatile shoe ever! Style a solid pair with structured trousers to turn your work pants weekend-ready.
3. Slides
These slip-on shoes feel a bit like slippers, so naturally, street style stars are taking advantage. A look we saw repeated throughout Fashion Month? This footwear option paired with maxi dresses and dusters.
4. Heeled Sandals
A solid pair of strappy or lace-up heels will make A-line styles look elevated and feminine, but they’re also the perfect way to balance out a statement-making bottom.
5. Loafers
These sharp shoes will make any suit more elevated, but we’re fond of styling them with a more casual pair of denim culottes.
6. Over-the-Knee Boots
Over-the-knee boots are a key component to one of Fall’s easiest styling hacks: lampshading. Just style ’em with an oversize shirt, sweater, or minidress and your outfit is complete.
7. Pumps
Power woman may enjoy pairing pumps with classic shifts, but the fashion crowd styles them with skinny or slim-cut jeans for a look that’s super sleek. -popsugar
