The Shoes to Wear With 2019's Biggest Trends

So you've laid eyes on a handful of trends you're ready to finally try out. You've added a few of them to your wardrobe rotation, and now that spring temperatures are warming up, it's time to get going. The only thing that's holding you back? If you're like many of us, it's less about wearing the actual trend and more about deciding what shoes to pair with it. Whether it's a psychedelic tie-dye tee or a prairie dress or even something on the tamer side like a pair of baggy jeans—whatever the item in question might be, it's fair to argue that the footwear you team with a trend is equally as important as the trend itself.

With this in mind, we cobbled together an edit of some of 2019's biggest trends so far and conveniently matched a pair of fun shoes to go with each. Ahead, discover 12 easy-to-wear trends and even easier shoes to accessorize them with, starting now.
