With the changing of seasons comes a total overhaul of your wardrobe. And as you move from cold Winter layers into more pared-down Spring 2020 trends, the first item on the docket is shoes. Gone are the heavy winter boots, the velvet loafers, and the shearling slides. Yes, you will meet again in six months’ time, but for now, your feet need a little more life breathed into them.
For the coming warm weather, it’s time to look to the Spring 2020 runways for some of the biggest shoe trends of the year. There are loafers that give any look a touch of prep school charm. Mary Janes are enjoying a resurgence in fun textures like crocodile effect and classic patent leather. It wouldn't be Spring without retro espadrilles, this time popping up in wedge and platform styles. The polarizing flatforms trend is back in full force, with sneakers, sandals and even Mary Janes in the exaggerated height. And finally, the chain detail showing up on handbags is also having a footwear moment: look for the detail on flats, loafers, flip flops, and even pumps.
Ahead, find the best of the best Spring 2020 shoe trends and exactly where to shop the styles now — at every price point.
