NYC girls are in a sartorial league of their own. Sure, Parisians, Londoners, and the like have their signature styles, but it's New Yorkers, in particular, who have expertly mastered that effortlessly cool vibe we all covet. As a result, we consistently turn to this set for shopping recommendations, especially in reference to the latest shoe picks. In fact, after scrolling through Instagram recently, we realized that the women of the Big Apple are actually already wearing some of fall's must-have footwear silhouettes.
It's really no surprise that NYC trendsetters would want to jump on some of the new autumn looks given the season's range of forward and elevated shoe styles. We're talking everything from statement ankle boots to fresh pumps in unique shapes and colors. To highlight further, we rounded up the seven fall shoe trends all over the feeds of New York City girls. Just keep scrolling to see them, and shop each to jump-start your wardrobe.
Metallic Mary Janes
Mary Janes are one of those perennial shoe silhouettes that are basically always around but bubble up in more impactful ways from time to time. Well, one of those moments is right now. This fall, it's all about eye-catching, single-strap heels in flashy metallic finishes.
Shop the trend:
Pumped-Up Platforms
Seventies-inspired details infiltrated the fall collections, with platforms reigning supreme in the footwear realm. Whether it's a pair of boots, heels, or loafers, the bigger the sole, the better.
Shop the trend:
Squared Stunners
We've noticed the evolution of square-toe shoes over the last few seasons. The look will continue to hold strong next season as a modern update to pointed silhouettes.
Shop the trend:
Bold Booties
Your basic black booties will always be a wardrobe staple, but consider giving them a break in favor of one of the vibrant ankle boot picks out there featuring unique color patterns and bold details.
Shop the trend:
Poppin' Pumps
Statement pumps in larger-than-life highlighter hues will lead the fall shoe lineup thanks to their inherently wow-factor qualities. Sure, they may seem intimidating at first, but once you dip a toe into this trend pool, you may never want to reach for your classic nude heels again. Just sayin'.
Shop the trend:
Need-Now Knee-Highs
Good news: Knee-high boots will remain popular this fall. That said, it's all about picks that push it just a bit further with interesting accents like ruching and in punchy materials like faux snakeskin.
Shop the trend:
Serious Stompers
Show the world you mean business with a pair of chunky shoes with serious treading. These clunkers will give any ensemble that much-desired cool twist.
