We like to think of Spring as the most appropriate time to invest in new shoes. You've got your pick of both open-toed styles and boots you'll probably end up wearing year round. Not to mention, there's a feel-good vibe in the warm air that should inspire you to create outfits with a little more flavor. And we happen to believe the foundation of an eye-catching look starts with solid footwear.
To encourage a closet refresh, we curated a list of the season's 3 biggest shoe trends, all of which are surely bolder than the ones you've tried before. Even the classic mule gets an update with fresh materials and added straps, and the platform sandal gets supersized.

The Dior ‘J’ADIOR’ slingbacks are undoubtedly the most sought after shoes of the season. This is a perfect, minimal shoe that has managed to achieve itself a cult status after only being on the shop shelves for a month. These shoes deserve all the ongoing hype and do perform like a dream. The soft fabric ribbon is stiff enough to hug your heel but brings an amazing contrast to the pointy toe.

This High boot “Pokerface” Louis Vuitton, seen in spring-summer 2017 collection, plays bi material effect with a front in rare python and a back in calfskin. The flower-shaped heel and the petal lapels spin the perfect match.

Set to elevate any after-dark ensemble, these Opium pumps from Saint Laurent are crafted from patent leather for a high-shine finish. Set in black for easy pairing with a multitude of looks, these Saint Laurent shoes feature a pointed toe, a brand embossed insole and a YSL logo heel.
