Fishnets, shells, and sea creatures of all kinds adorn all sorts of shoes. These star-fished draped Michael Kors beauties can absolutely go to the office but their price tag is hefty. Look for plenty of lower priced imitations to make appearances in the coming months. Pair them with a contrasting dress to let the shoes be the statement they are.
STATEMENT PRINTS
Statement prints of all kinds graced the runway feet. Printed shoes, whether they be boots, mules, or pumps, scream Spring—more fun and more color. No one does trend like Gucci and I’m in mad love with these Mary Janes but here here is a classic floral pump at a much more budget friendly price. I would pair either with a sheath in a subtle blush color. #PrintPersonality
LIVING CORAL and ORANGE
Last season it was lavender, and this season it is orange. Technically the color of the year is Living Coral but we are seeing a variety of similar hues from orange to pink. This color is one to own come spring. I am very excited to add this warm hue to my collection. Marc Fisher Zala and the Sam Edelman Hazel are time honored classics but I am drawn to the patent Calvin Klein one shown below. Charles David also had a good classic orange pump for under $100. Similar to the Gucci above I would pair with a subtle blush sheath and then add a statement necklace to pull everything together. #PinkAndOrangePerfection
ANKLE SOCKS
While technically not a shoe – this trend still revolves around footwear. We are in the midst of some sort of major sock moment. To embrace it now, pair your classic heels with sheer nylons either knee-high or ankle-grazing. This isn’t one I would try right now (it’s way too cold) but as soon as I ditch my tights I’m giving this trend a try! #TrendSetter
SPARKLES
One shoe trend I am beyond excited to see persist is crystals. Drip them, fringe them, throw them on an ankle strap—I don’t care. The more the merrier … make your shoes glisten like a disco ball … although maybe not at the office. For a more subtle nod to the trend try black crystals on a black pump or just a hint of bling on the strap. Pair with your classic suit for the perfect unexpected pairing. #DuoDone
