When it comes to building your ultimate fall wardrobe, it’s time to consider your feet. Far from an afterthought, this season’s collection of heels is about to become the centerpiece of your every wardrobe. While they don’t have to be over-the-top statement pieces, our favorite heel trends for this coming season are certainly eye-catching in their own right. When you’re headed out for a night on the town, make sure to have those heels that will turn everything from a satin gown to a little black dress into the most distinct look in the room. Don’t forget about those days you just want to dress up your denim, either—and what better way than with one of the hottest heels of the season?

This fall, we’re focusing on new and interesting textures to give even the most understated of looks that little something extra. From plaid to velvet and everything in between, these are the fall heel trends we’re currently loving—and the styles we can’t wait to shop.
