Undoubtedly, one of the most exciting parts about colder weather is transitioning your footwear. Although I live and breathe cold-weather trends, there's one indisputable fact I hate about the entire ordeal of switching over my closet: dealing with the sheer number of things I own. While I've been making good on my resolution only to buy the essentials and donate items past their shelf life, I've been skirting around my minor shoe obsession for a while. Despite not having a single inch left in my closet for new purchases, I've already secured not one, not two but three pairs of shoes on Nordstrom after scrolling through the retailer's massive fall footwear offerings. (Sorry!)
I admit I'm a sucker for a good trend, but thankfully, this year's footwear lineup consists of wearable styles that'll last in your closet for years to come. From sleek riding boots to runway-approved micro kitten heels, shop the nine best footwear trends everyone will be stocking up with.
Ankle Boots
How to style: Opt for a monochromatic 'fit with a cozy sweater and straight-leg trousers.
Ballet Flats
How to style: Simple, sleek ballet flats can be worn with almost anything. Go for the French way by pairing your newest pair of flats with some slim jeans and a simple blazer.
Fiery Soles
How to style: If you're feeling matchy-matchy, pull out other red tones in your outfit with the help of accessories like handbags or embellishments.
Kitten Heels
How to style: Just like another one of our favorite fall 2023 runway trends, wear your latest pair of micro-mini heels with a voluminous, full-length skirt for extra drama.
Shearling Shoes
How to style: The cozy shoes of choice have never looked better. Pair with your favorite leggings or worn-in wide-leg jeans to keep the comfy vibes going.
Chelsea Boots
How to style: A simple knit polo and some distressed denim will do the trick when it comes to styling this fall classic.
Loafers
How to style: Opt for a slimmer silhouette sans lug soles for a modern, refreshing take on the chic shoe style. Wear with your black trousers of choice if you're looking to be office appropriate.
Pointed-Toe Slingbacks
How to style: Fall 2023's sexy shoe trend works perfectly with a little black dress for a night on the town with your friends.
Riding Boots
How to style: Dress down the horse girl–approved staple with an oversize denim jacket and a knit sweaterdress.
