While we’re always down for surprising and statement shoe styles for special occasions, it’s those more versatile silhouettes that are of utmost interest for day-to-day life. Although, we totally understand that your footwear selection of choice these days is likely a fresh pair of tube socks to stay comfy at home with the current situation. Well, if you are interested in shoe shopping or want a bit of shoe inspiration to bookmark now and note for later, we wanted to take the next few moments to cover some of the top shoe trends of the moment.
With versatility top of mind, the three silhouettes in question are particularly noteworthy because they team flawlessly with anything, including common staples like leggings, jeans, and skirts. To highlight further, we’re showcasing past imagery of how fashion girls have worn the chicest shoe trends right now with all three of the essentials above—complete with some shopping picks on how to get each look, too.
Black Mules
While a more laid-back shoe choice might come to mind first when thinking about a legging ensemble, a sleek pair of pointed black mules elevates the pant style even more, like in this 'fit featuring the leather jacket and cool accessories.
A tube top is particularly trendy with jeans and polished mules.
Tie-up mules are forward and elevated with a printed silk skirt and a chunky knit.
Sporty Sandals

Embrace a pastel or white sandal silhouette with a pretty monochromatic look.
Adding socks to these sandals feels just right paired with a sleek leather skirt.

Wider-leg, light-wash jeans are where it's at with these retro sneakers.
