Who among us doesn’t have a soft spot for footwear? Since fall’s NYFW, we’ve been taking notes and making forecasts about which shoe trends would dominate the coming months. What lies ahead is equal parts whimsical and rustic, nostalgic and futuristic. Get ready for stylish cowboy boots and couture clogs. From models on catwalks to It Girls on crosswalks, trendsetters around the world are making us all believe that rent will have to somehow pay itself, because I might die without those Mary Janes. Below, read up on stunning shoe trends you’re bound to see everywhere for spring 2023.
Ballet Flats
Ballet flats are fully back, and we are so here for it.Ballet flats spun onto the fashion scene this fall (if you believe they ever went out of style) and quickly took over Instagram as a part of the ballet core The trend is a very literal take on real ballet slippers with brands like Miu Miu and Sandy Liang creating slippers that look as if they could be worn for The Nutcracker ballet. If you like the look of ballet flats but aren’t sure how to style them, it’s important to remember that they don’t need to be styled so literally. Ballet flats look great with baggy cargo pants or jeans and a bomber jacket too.
Soccer Sneakers
In order to score some major style points, you’ll need a pair of soccer sneakers in your closet—Adidas Sambas to be exact. You don’t need to have any intention of wearing these shoes for sport, they’re perfect for daily non-athletic use. For styling, lean into the soccer look by pairing the sneakers with taller socks. This shoe comes in multiple colorways so don’t be afraid to branch out beyond traditional sneaker shades of white and black.
Metallics
Metallics have been having a major moment in formal wear and now you can have shoes to match your sparkly dress! Metallic boots, heels and ballet flats are declaring themselves the new neutral—and I’m totally on board! Even though silver is a total statement, it goes with every color. Whether you’re wearing a floral dress, black trench coat or sporty puffer, a metallic accent will upgrade the look. The trend is particularly taking off with styles of knee-high boots, a perfect option for when you need a break from formal heels.
Mary Jane
Mary Janes have made a wholesome return to footwear trends. While the style was once only affiliated with ultra-preppy fashion and school uniforms, it’s now considered an It Girl staple. Similar to the trending penny loafers and ballet flats, Mary Janes maintains a sophisticated everyday style while still being comfortable. They can be worn to the office with slacks or a long dress just as easily as they can be paired with a mini dress and easily can be worn over a pair of socks. Designers like Miu Miu and Chanel are leading the preppy footwear trend with Mary Janes and ballet flats as the focus of their 2023 collections.
Track Shoes
She’s a runner, she’s a fashion star. The ultra-sporty, safe-to-really-go-for-a-run-in sneakers are still going to be a top trend in 2023 (comfort lovers rejoice!). Sport-focused fashion continues to be a tentpole for designers and I predict that as long as sporty sunglasses are in style, legitimate track sneakers will be too.
Shoes With Buckles
Buckles reached their peak of glory from 1760-1780, both in size and style. Men’s shoes of this period became lighter and more elegant, with all stylish invention and adornment channeled into the buckle.2023 is the year shoes with buckets make a comeback.
