When it comes to my closet, I admit that shoes take the spotlight when I am planning out my looks each season. This winter is no different. While I am loyal to my usual classics no matter the time of year, I will still be reaching for the latest shoe trends to round things out. Now into 2025, there are three trends in particular that I happen to have my eye on.
One style that has my attention is a cool pair of brown sneakers. Think everything from suede options to sleeker, sportier pairs that can be worn with jeans, dresses, and more. Another shoe style that's top of mind for fashion insiders is a variety of chic black kitten-heel boots. These instantly elevate any outfit, so they are a no-brainer. Keep scrolling to shop all three shoe trends that are worth checking out right now. Many are already starting to sell out.
