As someone who grew up on the East Coast, I've always cherished the transition of seasons because it meant refreshing my wardrobe and embracing new styles. While I appreciate dressing for spring, summer, and winter, fall has always held a special place in my heart. It's my favorite season, allowing me to swap out my sandals for sleek, closed-toe shoes.
I recently took some time to review my collection of fall shoes from last year to decide which ones to keep, what to donate, and which new styles to incorporate. With these important decisions made, I eagerly began my fall shoe shopping. I turned to my go-to online retailers—H&M, Nordstrom, and Zara—in search of the latest silhouettes.
Unsurprisingly, I stumbled upon many chic, designer shoe options. Before I knew it, I had multiple tabs open on my computer for luxurious suede boots, sophisticated loafers, elegant slingbacks, and satin mules. I even came across some unexpectedly stylish preppy options, like ballet pumps.
The fall shoe discoveries were too fantastic not to share, so I decided to curate a selection of the finest fall footwear offerings, ranging from cult favorites to timeless classics. Although there were numerous great options, I managed to narrow it down to the 28 best fall shoes. Prepare to treat yourself and your closet—it's time to indulge in fall shoe shopping!
