"I own the By Far pair but am lusting over these other ones from The Row! Love that Net-a-Porter styled both with pants—I think it's a great way to keep a cool summer vibe living into the fall. I also think it's a great nod to these SJP sandals, which seem perfect for late summer/early fall."

"My favorite trend for fall is a trend most prominent in the '80s and taken from the boys' club, so to speak—the iconic smoking slipper. It's a great silhouette to throw on either to dress up or down a look. It's a no-brainer and a must-have. I travel in them, I party in them, I work in them, and I even sleep in them sometimes! They are a classic (understandable) update from the sneaker, in my opinion. My favorite is the classic Gucci velvet with monograms. They are comfortable, chic, and the chocolate brown complements every color palette. Now that's what I call the perfect fall uniform staple!"

"There is something quite intimidating to me about the Western boot trend, and yet, sign me up! I'm determined to incorporate the rugged style into my fall wardrobe, and these Tibi dual-texture pairs in classic black seem like the perfect place to start."

"It seems like luxury sneakers are here to stay, and I could not be happier! They're a really easy way to elevate your look, and the best part is how comfortable they are. With sleek updates to traditionally sportier silhouettes, it's going to be easier than ever to style them with skirts, pants, and dresses come fall."

"I've been living in sneakers and easy sandals all summer, but for fall, the lug-sole boot has my heart. I stare at this pair from Gucci on a near-daily basis."

"I'm very excited about the return of animal-print shoes as a major trend, not only because I already own a few pairs, but because animal print acts as a neutral, so it's easy to match with anything."

"I'm excited to break out high-fashion hiking boots because, well, I'm an outdoorsy gal with a few hundred miles of trail under my belt. To have the chance to take my backpacking style to the streets of NYC sounds like a good time."
