Fall Transitional Shoe


When it comes to fall, there's definitely a lot to love. The oppressively hot temperatures of summer are officially over, but the bitter chill of winter is still a long way off. Mother Nature is at her best, brightest, and most beautiful. Cheerful, meaningful holiday get-togethers are right around the corner as well.


Getting excited about everything fall brings to the table couldn't be easier, but dressing appropriately for it can be challenging, especially when it comes to choosing the right fall apparel and footwear.

 

1. Stylish Booties

No footwear screams fall quite like a sleek and sexy pair of boots. However, more transitional weather can sometimes make a pair of knee-highs feel like a little bit too much early in the season. Booties, on the other hand, provide the perfect happy medium, no matter what's on your agenda for the day.

Try pairing a trendy, quirky option like the Loverlee from L'Artiste with a funky pair of flared retro jeans for a look that's perfect for anything, from a late-season music festival to an evening stroll downtown. Suede booties in any color, height, or style are great ways to get more mileage out of your favorite warm weather dresses as well.

Fashionable Loafers

2. Fashionable Loafers


The classic leather loafer is another fantastic transitional shoe that never goes out of style. It's versatile enough to keep you comfortable even if the weather's unseasonably warm on a given day. However, it's also a shoe that's unmistakably associated with this time of year, so you'll always be perfectly in step with the season.

Slip into a polished pair of loafers or a stylish mid-heel option for a winning look that's perfect for school or the office. Wear them with anything from a cuffed pair of dark denim jeans to your favorite wool miniskirt. Woven or embellished options from top brands like Cole Haan are incredibly popular this season as well.

3. Comfort Clogs


If you think clogs are just for gardeners and nurses, it's time to think again. Thanks to top brands like Dansko, Alegria, and BOC, clogs are so much more than a go-to option for people that spend a lot of time on their feet. They're stylish, fashion-forward options fit for even the chicest fashion plates.

Pair a patterned leather clog like the Peggy from BOC with jeans, a long skirt, or your favorite pair of slacks for a lovely all-weather look that's just as appropriate for a rainy day as it is a mild night in. Slip-proof outsoles provide reliable traction even if the weather turns unexpectedly damp. Pretty patterns and unusual colors ensure there's a comfort clog that's just right for any look you might want to try on for size this season.

Ballet Flats

4. Ballet Flats


It's not yet cold enough to wear boots every day. However, it's also officially way too cold to wear the sandals you lived in all summer. Ballet flats provide an ideal mid-season solution for a wide variety of occasions. They're open enough that your feet still feel free and comfortable to wear, even if the sun's out. However, they also provide the coverage you just can't live without this time of year.

Try slipping into a versatile pair of flats to your collection. Comfort footbeds and a flat design keep you comfortable even if you'll be spending a lot of time on your feet. Smooth, synthetic suede provides an elegant finish that's perfect for dressy and casual occasions alike.

5. Vintage Stacked Heels


As touched on above, sandals and open toes shoes are perfect for spring and summer months. However, an open-design vintage Mary Jane with a stacked heel is perfect for fall.

Look for styles in distressed leather that feature warm, fall neutral tones and thoughtful touches like punch-out patterns over the toe box. They're a great way to keep your feet cool and comfortable during the early fall months. Pair with anything, from your favorite pant suit for the office to a breezy fall floral dress for date night. You'll be stylishly on point all season long!
