Why we love it: Walkable heels that are cool? Yes, that's a thing this season, and whether you like a shorter block heel or a 5" stacked heel, you'll find a pair that feels as good as it looks.
How to wear it: Swap these in place for your regular heels! They'll look equally great with pants or skirts, and are perfect for the office. The shorter version can replace your flats for a more chic weekend look.
Saint Laurent Tbar Platform Pump ($1,079)
Marni Mirrored Leather Pumps ($685)
Aldo Butimba Pumps ($70)
Marc Jacobs Snakeskin Pump ($695)
Why we love it: Backless shoes took a long hiatus from being cool, but thanks to the '90s nostalgia gripping fashion, they're back. Trendsetters like the Olsen twins are already making them a staple.
How to wear it: These put a lot of focus on the ankle, so if that's not your favorite part, try these with a longer, wide-leg pant. Or flaunt your great gams in a mini for nighttime.
Rebecca Minkoff Cutout Mules ($345)
Carven Mesh Slide ($640)
Why we love it: There's just something so sexy about an ankle-strap pump! The line that it creates on the leg is flattering, and the styles go from ladylike to dominatrix in a flash.
How to wear it: Show these off! A cropped pant just above the ankle strap creates interest, or just pair them with a pencil skirt for some retro swish.
Fendi Cuffed Suede Pumps ($1,195)
Calvin Klein Bryann Pump ($109)
Why we love it: We've been drooling over this style on street-style stars like Taylor Tomasi Hill since last Fashion Week. It's a little edgy but not too much, which makes them more versatile than you would think on first glance.
How to wear it: These are your ultimate transitional shoe since they will look great worn over tights as well as bare legs. Bonus points for pairing them with baggy boyfriend jeans.
Alejandro Ingelmo Lace-Up Pumps ($1,295)
ShoeMint Jordane Wedges ($100)
Schutz Lace-Up Slate Sandals ($230)
Walter Steiger Lace-Up Pump ($1,025)
Why we love it:This is the ultimate pick-me-up for your wardrobe of neutrals! White t-shirt and jeans, all-black, denim shirt and khakis — they are all immediately jazzed up by a bold-print shoe.
How to wear it: It's one-stop dressing. Take whatever you are wearing, add on a bold print, and then stand back to let the compliments roll in.
Why we love it: It's all about texture. It's not all real calf hair, but it's that fuzzy, 3D feeling that's popped up on every runway and just feels like Fall to us.
How to wear it: Don't pair it with too many other hairy textures or shaggy knits. Keep it sleek and smooth to create an interesting contrast.
Tory Burch Imogene Pump ($395)
Kurt Geiger Baker 2 Boot ($845)
Why we love it: Sometimes, it's nice to take a page from the preppy handbook just in time for back-to-school weather. But these are hardly your old penny loafers.
How to wear it: Try these with crisp separates that also raise an arched eyebrow at classics like a white button-down, a schoolboy blazer, and a perfect dark jean.
Jason Wu Joni Loafers ($795)
Tory Burch Jezebel Pump ($375)
Derek Lam Fara Sandals ($545)
Kate Spade Grenada Flats ($258)
Why we love it:Colorblock has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving in fashion, and the trend's newest iteration is a mix of textures and colors that's irresistible.
How to wear it: These are a statement shoe, so work the colors back to something else in your outfit, or try the trend in a neutral palette to pair with complementary prints.
C-Label Luxe 10A Pumps ($59)
10 Crosby Derek Lam Jo Flats ($295)
Kate Spade Lottie Heels ($328)
Calvin Klein Aubrey Boots ($149)
Why we love it:Ever since the Valentino Rockstud shoes came out, kitten heels have gotten a new lease on life! This shorter, skinny heel still gives the lengthening illusion of stilettos, without the pain.
How to wear it: A slim cropped pant looks perfect paired with it or a full midi skirt — think a little retro.
Topshop Jago Block Heel Midi Court Shoes ($60, originally $110)
Isa Tapia Lucy d'Orsay Pumps ($495)
Why we love it:Hi, we have an excuse to wear our sneakers and look stylish. Need we say more?
How to wear it:This is the cure for your weekend outfit blahs. Jeans, embellished sweatshirt, and a pair of these bad boys, and you are looking good for brunch with the girls.
Gucci Flora High Top Sneaker ($475)
Why we love it:Blame it on Lady Gaga, but the intense heel is making its mark for Fall 2013. From embellishments to gravity-defying curves, you'll be making an unforgettable exit in these.
How to wear it: Let the heel be an unexpected twist in your outfit and treat these like any pump. Just wait for your dinner companion's jaw to drop when he notices.
Topshop Sincere Cup Heels ($180)
Tory Burch Azure Bootie ($495)
Why we love it:Did we mention the '90s are back? If you have any nostalgia for the days of Doc Martens and Jordan Catalano, this trend is for you.
How to wear it: With a substantial sole, you can go one of two ways. Either pair it with oversize pieces for coordination, or go filmy in a slip dress for a major contrast.
Prada Lug Sole Zip Sandal ($950)
Opening Ceremony Ankle Boots ($508)
