Now that we've finally begun to see the first signs of spring making an appearance, excitement is in the air. Snowfall is tapering off, and temperatures are starting to enter milder territory. The first birds, flowers, and green shoots are starting to appear. Before we know it, it will be time for picnics, egg hunts, and all the other fun events that go hand in hand with spring.
Best of all, it's finally time to update our seasonal wardrobe and get up-close and start exploring this season's most wow-worthy new shoes. Not sure how to showcase your new favorites to perfection? Try one of the following fashion ideas on for size.
Anyone can make a fabulous pair of spring heels look great by pairing them with a little black dress, a sleek hairstyle, and some well-chosen jewelry. However, if you really want all eyes to be on your new favorite knock'em dead pumps, try creating a little contrast by pairing them with denim.
Dress up your favorite pair of skinny jeans with a lipstick-red pair of stilettos. Go bold and slip on a pair of patent leather beauties, like Franco Sarto's Evie, in tandem with your comfiest set of overalls. Add an accent piece like a gracefully wrapped scarf and an ultra-cool pair of shades, and you're all set.
Are you the type of person who absolutely loves the look of a colorful pair of cross-trainers? Do you find yourself wishing there were a way to incorporate yours into more outfits than just your go-to gym ensembles? This is definitely an idea you'll want to try.
Even the snazziest pair of kicks can fail to really stand out when paired with staples like leggings, jeans, or active wear. However, they finally have a chance to shine when you use them to dress down a more polished outfit. Try wearing yours with a pair of leather pants and a sleek blazer. You'll love the combo!
If you miss the chunky, funky sandals that dominated the 90s, then chances are pretty good that you can't wait to rock the flatforms that are officially back in style this season. However, while these quirky shoes look just fine with a standard "jeans and a t-shirt" look, there are better ways to really show them off to the full effect.
Try matching a pair in a trendy metallic, like gold or pewter, with a crisp blouse and a sleek pair of shorts in rose pink, baby blue, or lemon yellow. Top with a leather jacket or a utility jacket, accessorize with the right belt, and you'll look like you stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine.
If you're anything like us, you're super excited to try a pair of the ultra-trendy peep toe booties that are all the rage this season. However, not just any ensemble will do when it comes to debuting this classy, fashion-forward look. You want something that will put your shoes in the spotlight.
Opt for a neutral pair like this black peep toe slingback from City Classified and pair it with fresh spring staples in a contrasting pastel shade. Booties like these look especially stylish with cropped trousers and a soft, lightweight sweater.
Open toes and slingbacks aren't the only things we're excited about wearing this spring. We're also counting the days until we can step out in pretty, girly spring dresses every day of the week. It's no coincidence that our favorite seasonal dresses just so happen to look phenomenal with Mary Janes--a style that's back with a vengeance this year.
Get your Mary Janes in black and pair them with a retro shift in sunny yellow, lovely lilac, or dusty rose. Weather still a little chilly where you live? Add a pair of colorful tights and a cute wrap, and you're all set.
Of course, these are just a few suggestions when it comes to how to wear this season's most sought-after footwear looks. Get creative this spring and invent more of your own. We can't wait for spring to arrive!
