You Don't Have to Wait a Second Longer to Shop 2018's Biggest Shoe Trends

If everyone starts wearing see-through everything next year, thank Chanel. The Spring '18 runway was full of PVC goodies, and designers incorporated similar clear pieces into their collections too. The material might not be for everyone, but if you want to test out the trend, we suggest going for a pair of strappy heels first.

For comfort and added edge to your outfits, combat boots should be your go-to. The staple has been around forever, though it took a backseat to glitter boots and trendy sneakers. Next season, that's no more, as the models are showing us combat boots are the one pair of shoes you really should invest in. They will always be relevant.
