Shop the autumn shoe trends now...
New season, new shoe trends. Yes, as we start switching up our wardrobes for autumn/winter it’s also time to embrace all the fabulous new footwear offerings in stores now. Here’s the Marie Claire guide to the new styles you need to know about.
From sturdy block heel sandals to sleek minimalist sock boots, crisp white trainers to sky-high metallic heels – there’s a whole host of covetable options to tempt you to try something new.
Colour-wise, autumn traditionally favours darker shades but the fashion world have fallen hard for baby pink. Brocades and metallics are still going strong.
Anything lace-up and suede will dress-up your denim with ease. Look to Also for slick Christmas party styles, and Asos for chic flat options.
