The 6 spring shoes you need this season
-
Trend: The Neo Mule
Sexy, revealing—the mule is leaving its 70s vibes behind and is back with an edgier, more modern silhouette. Gone are the mule-style clogs that filled our Pinterest boards seasons ago, a more structured version now feels wonderfully fresh. Generous heels make this style great for wearing with maxi skirts and the perfect way to show off legs. #wolfwhistle

Trend: Make It Rain
While we love our heels, we need a bit of practicality from our shoes during the spring, especially on rainy days where puddles are unavoidable. Add a chic Chelsea-inspired rain boot to your closet to keep things watertight and stylish. Who said you can't have it all?

Trend: See-Through Shoes
Like the see-through purse, the see-through shoe is a cheeky way of saying, “Hey, I know you can see my pedicure. I want you to.” Give boring sandals and played-out pumps a little run (pun intended) for their money and pair these with full skirts and cropped pants for a dainty, yet modern, lift to your spring wardrobe.

Trend: The Structured Heel
The heel: It’s the definition of the fashion shoe. Designers like Christian Siriano and Acne took heels to a contemporary level this season with angular shapes and materials that defied style science and simple physics. We’ll choose these over pin-thin stilettos any day. (Take that subway grates.)

Trend: Pattern Play
One way to usher in the season is to embrace spring's undeniably inspirational flora. Grab a pair of boots, heels or flats covered in a floral print and get your garden on. What to wear with this kind of indulgent footwear? More florals of course. Mix and match your favorites together for a daring fashion-forward look.

Trend: Socks and Sandals
This might seem like a fashion no-no to you right off the bat but designers really sold this look for spring — and you know what? We're totally into it. Not only does it allow you to wear some of your strappiest heels with less discomfort, it eliminates the slip-factor for most of your sandals. Wear a thin pair of socks or go with a built-in pair à la Chanel. How chic.
