Any fall fashion outfit would be incomplete without the appropriate shoes, boots or sandals. From shoes to heels, footwear this fall is all about elegantly comfortable, feminine styles. Here are some of the fashionable trends for footwear this fall.

➢ Pump It Up: Suede pumps are usually “in” every fall, but this season, be adventurous. Go beyond the black and brown “basic” pumps and add more color to your outfits. Plum and dark purple are two of the hottest colors this fall. These royal-toned pumps will make your feet look absolutely regal.

➢ Cutouts: Shoes with “holes,” or cutouts, on the side are especially popular this fall. You can easily pair them with stockings to avoid cold feet. Both pumps and booties feature this cutout style, which, when worn with a simpler outfit, will definitely draw attention to your feet.

➢ Fabulous Fringes: Fringed shoes look like the result of a moccasin and a skinny-heeled boot. Fringes can be found a variety of shoes this fall, including pumps, flats and boots. In fact, the fringed look is so popular this fall that you can even find fringed handbags.

➢ Recurring Riding Boots: Much to my delight, tall riding boots are back in style this fall. Whether they are heeled or flats, riding boots are comfortable, stylish and can be used to dress an outfit up or down.

➢ Out the Oxfords: Drawing inspiration from men’s oxford shoes, dainty oxford high heels for women emphasize grace and elegance. Made from a variety of fabrics, including snake-embossed leather, these petite-looking heels can be found everywhere, from famous designer products to bargain brands.

➢ Bringing the Bling: Who said that studs and rivets only belonged on clothing or jewelry? By wearing heeled shoes or boots adorned with “bling,” you can add extra edge to your style or contrast your footwear with your outfit.
