Prediction: These Will Be the It Designer Shoes of 2019
We may not be that far into 2019, but the fashion world thinks very far ahead, in case you haven't noticed. Pre-fall collections are already hitting the shelves, and designers are debuting their F/W collections across the world this month. So as you'd imagine, there are already plenty of new spring and summer shoes on the market, despite the current wintry conditions outside (and the combat boots on everyone's feet, subsequently). In our opinion, there's no better time to talk about the best designer shoes of 2019 (so far).
We scoured the stock of Prada, Gucci, Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, and many more in search of the shoes that are special enough to achieve cult status. Keep scrolling to shop them all before everyone else inevitably does (or just to see a lot of sartorial eye candy, which is also very enjoyable).
These Lavish (literally) pumps are quickly selling out.
These have so many gloriously trendy elements going for them.
As soon as the weather allows it, this on-trend style will be on many fashion girls' feet.
These were inspired by lingerie, and we're here for it.
What we find refreshing about this new retro-inspired Gucci style is that it looks different from everything else on the market right now.
These are like jewelry for your feet.
Add these to the growing list of minimal, '90s-inspired hits from The Row.
Snakeskin will definitely be cool until 2020 and beyond.
By Far has proven itself to be a very reliable source of It shoes.
The PVC trend shows no signs of fading, and neither does this It brand.
These are ridiculously extra, and that's why we love them.
Next up, the new wave of It shoe brands.
