BY FAR
Popular among celebs including Kendall Jenner and Irina Shayk, BY FAR is one of the most beloved accessories labels on the street style scene—and it's easy to see why.

Gia Couture
With cool collaborations under its belt with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Pernille Teisbaek, Italian shoe brand Gia Couture is one of the most sought-after rising brands for stunning sandals, heels, and boots.

Amina Muaddi
If you're able to find a pair of Amina Muaddi heels in your size, consider yourself lucky because retailers simply can't keep these in stock. Oh, and you'll definitely spot them on celebs including Rihanna and Hailey Bieber because they wear the brand on repeat.
Shop Amina Muaddi:
New Balance
New Balance sneakers have made a huge resurgence over the past few years, and you can count this editor among its many fans. You can't go wrong with its iconic 990 sneakers or its incredible collaboration with Aimé Leon Dore.
Shop New Balance:
The Attico
Italian duo Giorgia Torgdini and Gilda Ambrosio can truly do no wrong at their label, The Attico, and that includes their in-demand shoes. Their Devon heels are practically sold out everywhere and are already carving themselves out as one of the key shoe silhouettes of 2021.
Shop The Attico:
Manu Atelier
If you're looking for beautiful, timeless shoes with some trendy twists, look no further than Manu Atelier. The brand has especially great takes on strappy kitten heels.

Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta truly dominates the fashion-girl wardrobe in all areas, but its shoes have proven to be particularly popular among the style set. This season, its beautiful dot sandals are the key buy.
Shop Bottega Veneta:
Yeezy
While Yeezy has been on the fashion scene for a while now, the 500 sneakers have emerged as one of the major It shoes recently. The sculptural shape and neutral shades make them the perfect wear-with-anything sneakers.
Shop Yeezy:
Mach & Mach
Mach & Mach's shoes are over the top in the best way possible. Adorned with everything from crystals to pearls, these heels are the ultimate special occasion shoes.
Manolo Blahnik
While I would classify Manolo Blahnik's shoes as more classic than trendy, they're always a brand you'll be sure to spot in fashion insider wardrobes and they always have timeless takes on the key trends of the season.
