Shoes are our guilty shopping pleasure. If that's the case for you too, you'll be pleased to know that you don't have to wait a second more to shop 2018's most popular styles. After checking out which colors and silhouettes were most abundant on the Spring runways, we compiled a list of several must-have styles for the new year. Don't worry; we found shoes at every price point so you can test the trend without going over budget. Read on to see our top picks, and then start adding your favorites to your cart.
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.
