6 Spring Shoe Trends To Crave For 2016

6 Spring Shoe Trends For 2016


From the runways to street style, these spring shoe trends have been spotted on the shelves of many retailers and in pages of some of the hottest fashion magazines. Though these styles may not be new, a lot of designers have revamped an old favorite for a more updated and innovative look.

Mules

Mules have been seen up and down the runways as one of this season’s hottest trends. Once a 90s favorite among many, they’ve finally made it back on the scene. I’ve seen my fair share of ugly ones, but I’ve also come across a few that I would actually consider wearing. I’m not a huge fan of mules because I don’t like the idea of wearing heels with an open back. Weird I know.

Mules FSD

1. Vince Camuto Olivia Open Toe Mule, 2. French Connection Pandra Wedge, 3. Kenneth Cole New York ‘Saul’ Peep Toe Mule, 4. Kenneth Cole Wendy Pointed-Toe Mule Pumps.


Platforms

Platforms are a 70s inspired edgy statement shoe that can spice up your look.   

Platforms FSD

1. Sacai Black Double Strap Platform Sandals, 2. Rochas Crystal Embellished Platform Sandals, 3.Rebecca Minkoff Cady Lace-Up Platform Wedge Sandal, 4. Platform Sandals


Wedges

Wedges in my eyes are a spring/summer staple. If you don’t own a pair, what are you waiting for? Every year I find a wedge shoe that is a must-have. Not only are they comfortable, but they can also actually be worn for long periods of time without the pain.

1.Chloé Suede and Leather Wedge Espadrilles, 2. Sole Society Sena Espadrille Wedge, 3. Ivanka Trump Hindre Women's Wedge Shoes, 4. Aquazzura Belgravia Suede Wedge Espadrilles

1. Chloé Suede and Leather Wedge Espadrilles, 2. Sole Society Sena Espadrille Wedge, 3. Ivanka Trump Hindre Women’s Wedge Shoes, 4. Aquazzura Belgravia Suede Wedge Espadrilles


Lace-Up Sandals

Back for another season, lace-up sandals are a must-have. If you’re looking for an everyday casual shoe to wear this season, the lace-up sandal is the perfect statement shoe. It’s a classic ballet style with a twist.

Lace Up FSD

1. French Connection Kamilla Suede Lace-Up Ballet Flats, 2. Nine West Signmeup Lace-Up Flats, 3. Schutz Neida Lace-Up Flats, 4. Aquazzura Suede Christy Flats


Block Heels

Block heels are another spring must-have trend. Unlike stilettos, these chunky heels not only provide comfort, but they also deliver a bold statement.

Block Heels FSD

1. Strategia leather sandals, 2. Lipsy strappy sandals, 3. River Island suede shoes, 4. Aquazzura suede shoes


Oxfords

Oxfords are a classic shoe that has been around since forever. These babies have been revamped for a more updated bold look. Oxfords can give any outfit a more polished look.

Oxfords FSD

1. Moschino Black Oxford, 2. Rebecca Minkoff Pandora Wedge Oxford, 3. Chiko Amabelle Fringe Two Tone Oxfords, 4. Opening Ceremony Platform Shoes

What are some of your favorite spring/summer shoes?

    I am in love with the blue mules and a couple of the oxfords. I’m not ready to bring platforms back into my style but I do love a good wedge.

    I’m so on the wedge and playform shoe trend. They’re comfy and give me extra height!

    Wedges 2 and 4 were cute. I would’t be wearing any of the other shoes.

Unpopular fashion opinion: Looking expensive has nothing to do with how much you spent.

Some of the best outfits I’ve ever worn weren’t the most expensive…they just fit well, felt good, and were styled with intention.

A designer label won’t fix bad styling, but confidence can elevate almost anything.

Agree or disagree? 

What’s your unpopular fashion opinion?

Original price: $170

My price: $59.97

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s not spending money… that’s being financially responsible. 

Girl math or smart shopping? Be honest. 😂

What up doe? Fashion besties, can we talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult?

Between work, responsibilities, and everything else life throws our way, making new friends isn’t always easy. That’s why I love events like this. There’s something so refreshing about stepping outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, and making real life connections.

I came for the content, the donuts, and the good vibes…but I left with some great conversations and new connections.

Noowwwww…let’s talk about the food!! The donuts were good, and I especially loved the Strawberry Shortcake Layered Custard. But the real star of my evening? The Crispy Ramen Original Rice Hotdog lightly sprinkled with sugar. I’m officially hooked and already planning my next visit.

A big thank you to @DetroitFinds313 and @mochinut_berkely for hosting such a fun and welcoming event. 

Now tell me, fashion besties, do you find it easy or hard to make new friends as an adult?

Anybody else love a three-piece set because it takes all the thinking out of getting dressed? Just add shoes and go. That’s my type of getting ready. 

 @Fabletics always has the cutest workout sets 💙💙💙

Someone told my 5’1 self I’m not petite because I’m not skinny.

Respectfully, petite means short, not skinny. If I’m not petite, then why has every pair of pants I’ve ever owned been too long unless I specifically buy short or petite sizes? 

Petite girls, back me up in the comments

Petite is a height category, not a body type. My 5’1” self didn’t stop being petite just because I’m not a size 2.

Fashion besties, can we normalize getting overdressed? 

I didn’t buy these clothes just to save them for a special occasion. Life is the occasion.

If I want to wear the cute dress, the statement coat, or the heels just to grab coffee, I’m doing it. The older I get, the more I realize style is meant to be enjoyed, not saved.

Tell me I’m not the only one. What’s the most “extra” place you’ve worn a cute outfit?

POV: I’ve always been too anxious to go sit in a restaurant by myself, but I decided to add it to my bucket list and finally do it.
So today, I took myself out on a solo date, ordered what I wanted, enjoyed my meal, and honestly? I wish I would’ve done this sooner.
The whole time I was thinking, “Why was I so scared of this?”
Be honest, fashion besties... have you ever taken yourself out to eat alone, or is it still on your bucket list? #fashionstyledetroit

The girls who get it, get it… leopard is a neutral!

Fashion besties, I’m so serious when I say leopard goes with EVERYTHING. At this point, I throw it on the same way other people throw on black or denim.

Like the outfit can be cute… then you add leopard and suddenly it makes sense. It’s like putting on the finishing touches. 

A leopard shoe, bag, jacket, SOMETHING. It just works every time.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that treats leopard like a neutral?

May was a mix of getting dressed, figuring life out, creating content, romanticizing small moments, and reminding myself that growth doesn’t always look loud. 

A little fashion, a little chaos, a lot of memories.
