There's No Question—These 8 Fall Shoe Trends Will Make You Look Rich

One of the great things about fall shoes is that they inherently look expensive. Give me all the suede, calf hair, croc embossing, and so on. As someone who always looks down to see what shoes people are wearing, I can attest that they can make or break an outfit, and the eight fall 2025 shoe trends I'm talking about today are definitely in the former camp.

I don't know about you, but I keep my outfits pretty simple. For fall, I'm often in a pair of jeans and a sweater. I always wear a pair of shoes that elevates whatever outfit I'm wearing, and there are eight shoe trends I'm currently zeroing in on that I know will take my outfits to the next level. It's a combination of flats, boots, and heels, all of which will make said fall outfits look rich. Before you buy another pair of fall shoes, keep scrolling to shop the most luxe-looking trends of the season.

Croc-Embossed Shoes

Croc embossing is back for fall 2025, and your wardrobe will greatly benefit because of it. I prefer this trend in black and rich shades of brown for the most expensive-looking feel.

Suede Loafers

All loafers are great, but the texture of suede loafers adds such a luxe quality to your outfits. Opt for a neutral (non-black) hue for maximum versatility and richness.
