As I did my routine scroll through Zara's new arrivals, I was so impressed by the shoes that I saw that I instantly dashed to the site's dedicated shoe section. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by literally every pair of shoes that I've been dreaming about wearing for the past few months. No trend was left behind. Pretty much all the shoes my favorite It girls have been wearing were here at under $100, so you bet I was intrigued. 

This year's shoe trend cycle has served us well. Instead of bombarding us with a new trend every month, the latest offerings from designers have had major staying power. So seeing them all lined up with Zara price tags got me excited. With pointed toes, metallics, unique loafers, and more, dressing from the shoes up just got way more fun. You'll find what you're looking for to complete that look below. 

1. Buckle Up

You've certainly already heard the news that flatform shoes are going to be so big in 2023. I, for one, just can't seem to shut up about them. Being on the taller side still doesn't steer me away from this style. Bring on the height!
