Pretty Crystal Shoes for Fall 2018

last updated 14 August 2019

If you've ever daydreamed about you and your tightest group of friends strutting into a club/bar/party with Cardi B.'s "Drip" blasting in the background, this shoe trend is for you. As of late, we've seen designer after designer create shoes that are literally dripping with crystals. The adornment is a lavish addition to what would otherwise be a boring pair of shoes. (No offense to all the other shoes out there that aren't covered in rhinestone fringe, but I mean, if we had to choose…) This is one of those trends that's just starting to really bubble up, meaning more affordable retailers haven't quite jumped on the bandwagon, but I assure you it's only a matter of time.

Instagram bait, perfect party accessory, or just the thing your jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfit needed, this pretty shoe trend is going to be the most charming thing you have in your closet this fall. Below check out some of our favorite images of this pretty shoe trend so far and shop the designers who are doing it right. As soon as you and all your friends get a hold of the not-so-subtle styles ahead, plan your next night out and get ready for heads to turn.
