Fall 2010 Shoe Trend Report
All of a sudden, back to school shopping is in full swing, but that doesn’t mean those of us not heading back to school can’t do a little seasonal shopping, too. Looking for some ideas for some new shoes as the weather turns cooler? Shoebuy’s got you covered with all the hottest styles. Check out some of the season’s hottest trends and advice on how to rock them:
Over the Knee Boots
Thigh high boots popped up last fall and winter, and the trend will be stronger than ever this autumn and into the new year. Boots come in heeled or flat versions and can be worn over jeans and leggings like Kim Kardashian above or with skirts and dresses. Over the knee boots are a bit of a statement, so stick with classic colors and materials that can mixed and matched with all your favorite fall looks.
Not sure you’re ready to splurge on a thigh high boot? Try out another fall trend that mimics the look by wearing knee high or over the knee socks with a pair of oxfords, booties, or heels.
Clogs
Clogs appeared all over the runways last spring and this fall, they’ll be everywhere! We’re not talking about frumpy, wear in the garden clogs, however. Look for high chunky heels and fun stud or cut-out detailing for a fresh take on a style that’s been around for ages.
Kitten Heels
Feminine fifties and sixties inspired silhouettes that accentuate your curves will be all the rage this fall and winter. What better shoe to pair with a waist-cinching knee length skirt than a dainty kitten heel? Kitten heels may not be a revolutionary style, but this season’s dainty lines and pointed toes will keep your look fresh and modern even as you allude to decades old fashion.
Military-Inspired
Military styles have been en vogue for the past few seasons, but this season’s take on the look has evolved from the flashy fastenings and epaulettes of last year to a more rugged, worn look that evokes aviation rather than cavalry. Look for deep army green tones and shearling and generally stay away from camo prints (too literal!). Pair your new military-inspired shoes with trendy green, fitted cargo pants or with a leather aviator jacket (this season’s version of last year’s ever-so-popular bomber jacket). Looking for a more subtle way to incorporate the trend? Look for a great pair of army green or heavily studded heels.
So there you have it. These are just a few of the trends you’re likely to see splashed all over the magazines this upcoming fall. None of these quite striking your fancy? Shoebuy.com has thousands of styles for men, women, and children, so you’re bound to find a pair or two that’s up your alley.
