If, like me, your style has taken a turn for the more casual and "dressed down" but you still want to ensure you're not dipping into the category of boring dressing, then this one's for you. Although I've taken on an easygoing mindset when getting dressed and have prioritized my basics over many other parts of my wardrobe, I've found that all I need to make my simple outfits really shine is a great pair of shoes. Jeans and a tee? Add a cool pair of mules. Basic dress? Bright sandals spice it up.

With this mindset, I'm highlighting 21 pairs of shoes from our very own Who What Wear line that can take the simplest outfit from 0 to 100 in an instant—and who wouldn't want that? From beautiful mules to chic flats and a few easy sandals, continue on to shop each of the under-$115 pairs and get a little outfit inspiration for how to wear them along the way.
