Suede, suede, and more suede. It's the buzzword of the season, and as fall progresses into winter, the luxe fabric will be defining the most noteworthy boots, from simple ankle styles to sleek knee-highs.

High-shine gloss is the defining element of the coolest pumps right now, from Ferragamo's iconic slanted heels to Saint Laurent's viral Lee slingbacks.

Elegant Flats

Flats have become one of the most forward shoes you can wear right now, and that's a fact—but not just any old flat shoe. Elegant silhouettes with pointed toes and ever so slightly lifted heels are the pretty pairs defining the moment.

Riding Boots

The "new Gucci" under Creative Director Sabato De Sarno is redefining brand classics one item at a time, and the riding boots finished with a sleek horse-bit hardware detail are Wholesale Replica Bag piece to get a modern update. Similar styles with elevated hardware are popping up across the market, cementing them as one of the season's top boots.

Glove Pumps

Traditional pumps can often feel a bit tired, but the glove-like silhouettes we're seeing from Proenza Schouler and Carven are decidedly fresh and forward.

Slippers

Hear me out: Brands are making elevated slippers to be worn outside the bedroom. The Row's Frances pair, which is done in a delicate silk jacquard and beloved by Kendall Jenner and Laura Harrier, is proving to be the unlikely It shoe right now.

Sleek Slingbacks

Slingbacks will pretty much never go out of style, but they're set to have an even bigger impact this winter with Saint Laurent's beautiful satin and patent-leather iterations.

Brown Loafers

With chocolate brown infiltrating our wardrobe more than ever, loafers are the polished way to wear the color.

T-Bar Pumps

There are lots of cool pumps on offer for winter, but I'd like to introduce one more: the T-bar pump. It's a little retro and steeped in sophistication.
