The arrival of spring means warmer weather, which means more options for shoes…
Pointed-Toe Heels
Whilst pointed-toe heels can never really go out of style, they have taken a bit of a backseat recently. Square-toed shoes, round styles, like Uggs and Birkenstocks, and acrylic shapes replacing a classic stiletto have all been stealing the spotlight lately. However, the silhouette of the pointed-toe has been present in cowboy boots and chunky platform heels, will be coming
back into fashion in many different ways as the weather gets warmer. One way, as seen on Kendall Jenner, is with just tights, with another being peeping out from under baggy jeans. However you decide to style them, you will be wearing them for a long time as they complement pretty much any outfit.

Riding Boots
Riding boots are another staple shoe that hasn’t been seen so much in recent years, this is most likely due to the decrease in popularity of skinny jeans and rise of baggy jeans. However, these don’t have to be worn with exclusively skinny jeans and can look great styled in a 60s way with a mini skirt and turtleneck. They are really comfy, durable, timeless, and will elevate any outfit.

Ballet Flats
Ballet flats are going to be very trendy because they are so accessible. Although Miu Miu showcased these and basically backed the ballet core trend, they are available almost anywhere for very cheap. The style with crisscross padding are especially cute.
Ballet flats are trending thanks to the popularity of ‘balletcore’ on TikTok, and have been seen in numerous runway shows this season including Prada and Tod’s. This 2000s trend, previously worn with skinny jeans, has been styled with leg warmers and baggy jeans to create a casual, carefree look. The reason why these shoes will be so popular is that they are extremely affordable and there isn’t a lot of difference between a £20 pair and a £1000 pair. They also come in extremely cute colours, like pastel pink— perfect for spring.

Lace-Up Shoes
Similarly, another ‘balletcore’ inspired trend is lace up shoes, especially if they have a bow. These shoes are super cute for the warm weather, and can be tied in lots of different ways. Tied in a bow is arguably the cutest and trendiest, with bows being seen on many runways this season such as face bows from Simone Rocha, ponytail bows from Susan Fang, and lots of micro-bows attached to your hair like Sandy Liang. Another way this trend could be incorporated is by switching out laces in your current shoes for ribbons, adding a cute feminine touch!

Adidas is definitely having a moment right now, despite all the drama with Yeezy. Harry Styles has inspired many people to buy into the trend by sporting a host of different coloured pairs from the Adidas x Gucci Gazelle collection at the Grammys, on Instagram, and even drinking out of one pair on tour in Australia. On the other hand, gen-Z’s it girls Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Kendall Jenner have all been spotted wearing Adidas Sambas out and about. Both styles are easy to dress up or down, and are perfect for spring with jeans or a midi dress. They are also really affordable so will definitely sell out.
