If You're Wearing One of These 8 Shoe Trends, I Know You're a Fashion Girl
As a self-proclaimed fashion girl who loves shoes, I find the following subject an easy one for me to speak to. I'm one of those annoying people who can't help but look at a person's shoes when I meet or greet them. They can say a lot about them and will immediately tell me if the person is sporty, appreciates comfort, watches the weather, and/or pays attention to fashion.
As a fashion editor, it's my job to have an acute knowledge of the latest trends—shoes included. So if I spot one of these latest and greatest shoe trends on someone in the wild (or the wild that is Instagram), I know they're following fashion to some degree, perhaps even by reading Who What Wear (shameless plug). I compiled eight specific shoe trends that prove your fashion-girl street cred at this very moment, and if that's something you want more of, keep scrolling to shop them for yourself.
Thong Heels

@brittanyxavierThis Y2K shoe trend is one of the biggest shoe trends of spring/summer 2021, so if you're a fashion girl (or have at least been shopping lately), this is probably on your radar.
Clogs

@katcollingsClogs have officially been resurrected, and fashion girls are embracing the '70s vibe that they give to an outfit.
Retro Sneakers

@claire_mostThe retro-sneaker trend is still reigning supreme, so when I see a pair, it's safe to assume I've found a sneaker-loving fashion girl.
Anything Amina Muaddi

@emilisindlevWhen you see a pair of very cool, very fancy shoes that have some element of sparkle, they're probably Amina Muaddi shoes. As a testament to their popularity, every time they're restocked, they sell out again.
Bubblegum Pink

@lindatol_Bubblegum pink is the It color of the season, and it's made its way to fashion girls' feet.
Wellies

@slipintostyleYou no longer have to wait for a rainy day to bust out the wellies. Fashion girls are wearing them on even the sunniest of days.
"Weird" Heel Shapes

@louloudesaisonSculptural heels are the "weird" shoe trend that will start plenty of conversations and earn many compliments. I love that they add an interesting element to even the most basic of outfits.
Chunky Loafers

@annabelrosendahlChunky loafers (especially when paired with crew socks) became quite popular in the fall and still feel fresh. Wear them with anything from miniskirts to denim.
