The Only 7 Shoe Trends You Need to Know Right Now

Channel that true childhood back-to-school moment with a pair of Mary Janes this Fall. Whether stiletto heels, chunkier styles, or elegant pointed-toe flats, it's time to reconnect to your youthful roots with a shoe trend inspired by the runways of Miu Miu, Paco Rabanne, Michael Kors, and more.

This Fall, shearling doesn't have to only grace your outerwear options. Instead, look to designers like Chanel, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Off-White to encourage you to keep your toes just as cozy and warm as the rest of your body by way of textured shearling footwear.

Florals don't just have to stick to your Spring and Summer wardrobes. In fact, we almost like the pattern more come Fall and Winter. Erdem created ladylike flats, Zimmermann opted for head-turning thigh-high boots, and Brock Collection went Victorian with lace-front booties. No matter what your style, there's a Winter floral for you this year.

Croc is not altogether an uncommon material, especially come Fall, but this season we are returning to the roots of the look. Designers like Max Mara, Givenchy, Brock Collection, and the like reminded all classic style lovers how much we love the neutral tans and browns that the exotic embossing provides.

Go ultra-feminine this Fall with ankle ties — but not just any ankle ties. This season, it truly is the bigger the better as we opt for full ribbons, multiple wraps, and grosgrain materials to give off that haute couture look that takes your flats and heels alike to the next level . . . straight from the collections of Off-White, Zimmermann, and Balenciaga to boot!

Channel your inner Spice Girl this Fall with platform heels that are inspired by the late-'90s and early-aughts. Like Stella McCartney, Alexa Chung, and Tom Ford, we are loving everything from Winter boots to ankle-strap pumps in the silhouette that will have you (quite literally) standing a bit taller as you debut your new look.

If there is one color that is reigning supreme this Fall, it's green. In hunter, Kelly, seafoam, and mint, the earthy tone is going high fashion for the coming season. Brandon Maxwell proved the elegance of a velvet pump, Sally LaPointe went classic in suede, and Erdem chose a saturated silk. At the end of the day, though, we really just want them all!
