Fall & Winter 2013 Shoe Trends and Top Styles

Let’s take a look at the gorgeous fall 2012 winter 2013 shoe styles and check out some of the newest, most wearable footwear trends.

Ankle-strap pumps

Ankle strap is that glamorous detail that left a lasting impression and scored 2 major shoe trends in 2012 fashion: ankle-strap sandals in summer and ankle-strap pumps in fall. The autumnal version features single, multiple, broader or thin straps around the ankle that in most cases top a slightly pointed toe silhouette. A must-have!

Fur heels

The most voguish fur-tastic shoes of fall 2012 come from Alexander McQueen’s fashion show and a hypnotizing Christian Louboutin shoe collection. With the show-stopping fur-trim the attention-grabbing style refuses to shy away from the spotlight. Imagine how it will elevate that LBD or your favourite pencil skirt.

Patent leather pumps

Glossy patent leather continues to be a big trend on the runway. Taking a cue from Jil Sander and Tommy Hilfiger, the liquid material adorns fall 2012 outerwear, separates and accessories, especially shoes. It comes in glossy black and vibrant fall shades to add classic sophistication to every dressy ensemble. Pair with menswear-inspired pieces to score a quirky-cool style.

Studded shoes

Edgy footwear armoured with studs makes a smart investment thanks to its versatility. Fashionably fierce and totally unfussy, studded boots will complement fall’s leather trend for a timeless rocker chic glam. Look for cool studded boots with a combat attitude to pair off a military look. Or go for studded loafers instead to recreate the effortless style of the quintessential laid-back it-girl.

Slipper loafers

Delightfully comfy for a day at the office and sturdy enough to wear outdoors, the preppy slipper loafer makes a statement sans heels. With its menswear-inspired attitude, this cute shoe has been popularised by fashion bloggers and worn by those who want to add something other than a simple ballerina to their flat shoe rotation. The artful finish to cropped pants and all-time favourite skinny jeans.

Ankle boots

The effortless cold-weather style that’s sure to turn heads. Suede, leather, snakeskin, animal-print, zipped – ankle boots come in many variations. This season, let a passion for autumnal colours wrap your feet with wit and playful sophistication. Alternatively, go for a bold snakeskin, lavish Baroque print, the combination of socks and boots or lacing and buckles.
