There’s nothing more that puts a smile on my face at this time of year than buying new footwear. Think practical but stylish when it comes to shopping for new shoes. You want to put a spring in your step with a fresh new look but still need to protect your feet from those squally showers. It’s time to ditch those boots & put them at the back of your wardrobe for next Winter. Read on to discover my pick of the best Spring shoe trends & where to shop them.
1. Strappy Sandals
One of the trends that’s set to dominate this year are barely there “floss” sandals. While they may not be practical for wearing every day, they are perfect for occasion wear. Extremely versatile, they look as good with a trench coat & jeans as they do with a wedding guest dress. Feel like a goddess in Gold Mirror Metallic Tubular strap sandals from Office. Reduced from €75 down to €38. Check out the Missguided Black & Gold Barely There Snake high heels. These classy, sexy shoes feature a faux snake slithering up the stiletto heel. How is that for elegance?!
2. Loafers
You can’t beat a pair of loafers for comfort. The vintage, boyish style that transcends seasons, loafers are an eternal classic. Embrace the snakeprint trend with these chic & super comfy pair with ring detail from Office (€81). These are ideal worn with slim, cigarette pants or black, cropped trousers & white shirt for a smart, casual look. Loafers also make the perfect work wardrobe staple.
3. Mules
The perfect footwear to take you from the office to a night out, mules are a huge trend for 2019. The latest styles come in a variety of pastel hues for Spring such as pale pink, soft, muted green & purple. While I was browsing in Oasis recently, I couldn’t resist trying on these pale pink mules with tortoiseshell heels. Better still, the price tag is a very affordable €45! Uber chic & elegant, these mules are perfect worn with your favourite pair of jeans. Let the statement heel do the talking.
4. Tiger print
Along with the various animal prints, tiger print is one the hottest trends for Spring 2019. If you’re looking to invest in statement footwear, tiger print is the way to go. You can choose between flat & heeled mule shoes depending on what outift you plan on wearing with them. Check out these open toe, block heeled, tiger print mules in brown & black from Dune (€105). Perfect for wearing with black skinny jeans or leggings for either day or night time elegance.
5. Chunky trainers
The trend for chunky, nineties style trainers continues in 2019. Every woman needs a practical, comfy & stylish pair of trainers all year long no matter what the weather. Trainers are multi-purpose & look just as good with long, floral print dresses as they do with your favourite pair of sporty leggings. Converse has always been my ‘go to’ trainer brand for style & comfort. Check out these white Converse All Star Clean Lift trainers (€81). These are ideal for walking to work as well as wearing with floaty skirts & dresses for smart, casual springwear.
There’s a fantastic range of stylish, comfortable & elegant footwear to suit every taste for S/S 2019.
Be bold & make a statement!
