This group of style setters consistently tests out a range of new footwear trends, but there are six specific looks that continue to crop up more and more. Ahead, we broke down these It girl–approved trends to inspire your next shoe purchase, whether you’re in the market for a fresh pair of sneakers or a cool pair of booties. You may have tested out some of what’s coming your way already, and if not, there’s bound to be a smattering that is new for you. So have a little fun and kick your 2019 wardrobe into high gear.
Whether you’ve loved or loathed them in the past, it’s time to get on board the Teva train this season because the strappy Velcro sandals are everywhere.
If there’s one ankle boot style that reigned supreme in 2018, it’s snakeskin booties. Well, the look isn’t going anywhere just yet. If you haven’t tried them, now’s your shot.
Sure, basic black or brown loafers will never go out of style, but a playful iteration in a fun print or funky color is the style du jour among the fashion elite right now.
Whether you’re going for Dr. Martens, legit hiking boots, or hybrid sneakers, the chunky-sole silhouette is where it’s at.
If you’re going the heel route, the more eye-catching with embellishments and forward fabrics, the better.
Hopefully you’re used to dad sneakers by now because these trainers will continue to hold their own well into 2019.
