I Objectively Have Enough Shoes, But Then I Saw These On-Trend Styles From Nordstrom, Zara, and Shopbop
Here in New York, we are experiencing our first tastes of spring (hello, 60-degree days!), and that has me cleaning out my shoe closet in preparation for the season ahead. As I start to transition my wardrobe and retire those knee-high boots and chunky loafers until next winter, I made a mental checklist of all the best shoe trends for spring/summer 2024 and which ones I could fill in with what I already own. I soon realized that the new-drop sections of Nordstrom, Zara, and Shopbop have all the trend-forward styles I could imagine. Even better, the majority of these on-trend styles are under $200, so I can load up on a few pairs without serious buyer's remorse.
Pointed shoes are my go-to style this season, in both flat and heel forms, so be prepared to find plenty of elegant flats and walkable kitten heels in this mix. Texture was important on the runway, and I am incorporating it into my own wardrobe with mixed materials, such as luxurious satin finishes, lots of patent-leather shine, and a heavy dose of metallics. Fishnets and mesh styles are still trending high in my book, and there are a few stunners that I think you will go just as gaga for that feel a bit fresher than those from past seasons. Below, shop 30 on-trend styles from Nordstrom, Zara, and Shopbop that will set you up in style for the season ahead.
