After three months of wearing nothing but Birkenstocks, flip-flops, and kitten-heel sandals, I'm finally ready to embrace fall with a proper pair of shoes (or at least choose sandals that embody a fall vibe). I'm not going to lie; I love a luxurious-looking shoe—and there's nothing that looks more expensive than this season's must-have brown shoe trend. This fall, we're seeing a massive shift toward brown tones. From earthy tan hues to sumptuous chocolate brown shades, the color palette is dominating among the fashion set right now, especially when it comes to footwear. Whether you opt for elegant ballet flats, preppy suede loafers, or sophisticated knee-high boots, they'll add an elevated touch to your entire outfit.
Eager to give my shoe collection a new-season refresh, I've been scouring all my favorite retailers for the best brown shoes worthy of my wardrobe. Keep scrolling to see the expensive-looking styles I'm eyeing for fall. There's something for every budget.
