The fall 2021 shoe trends this year should come as no surprise. We are seeing a huge continuation of ’90’s inspired footwear including lug soles, block heels, loafers, and metal bits. Grunge and post-grunge footwear is hotter than hot season, so if you saved anything from that era, you’re in luck! If you are like me, and you did not, check your closet for these styles from last year or the year before. After you shop your closet, shop the stores to fill in what you need for the season! I recommend having, at a minimum, one pair of lug sole boots, and one pair of loafers with a bit and some sort of heel.

In addition to ’90’s vibes, street sneakers are continuing to be the ultimate go-to shoe for everyday life; and they are proving to be a status symbol beyond just limited edition drop shoes. Any sneakers you find with designer logos are hot this season. Owning a pair of designer sneakers, in any style, is fabulous this fall season. Also look for adidas “Stan Smith” sneakers. This iconic style is already the hottest sneaker style of the fall 2021 shopping season; and they happen to be under $100 per pair. I am investing in two pairs from adidas.

These are really the two main types of shoe styles we all need for the fall 2021 season. Also keep in mind neutral hues are important colors for footwear this fall. Your boots and loafers should be black or a shade of brown. Stay away from bright hues on your leather shoes. Save the bright colors for apparel.

When it comes to sneakers, any color goes! While white with a colored heel are the hottest style of the season, any color which catches your eye is on trend for autumn. Have fun with your sneakers! Snap up a pair of adidas Stan Smith sneakers, and then add a sneaker style from your favorite designer. Your feet will be very happy and comfortable this fall 2021 season! Love!

Also, pay attention to the details. Square toes are still trending, as well as sculpted heels, block heels, lug soles, chunky soles, and metal details such as chains, bits, and studs.

Summer 2021 shoe capsule wardrobe

Summer is almost here! The first thing in my closet ready for summer, was my summer shoe capsule! I only purchased one pair of shoes for the summer 2021 season; these square toe loafers. Square toe loafers are a huge emerging shoe trend, and I want to be ready for the trend to be on fire this fall. This pair of loafers is perfect since they are a neutral hue which plays well with both summer, and fall color palettes. Plus, they are soft, and comfortable to walk around in. Love that!

The yellow slides, black slides, and sculpted heel slides are pulled from my spring capsule. They worked well in the spring season, and will continue to work well in the summer season. The puffy shoe trend, and comfort slide trend, are both still relevant in the summer season, so they are easy shoes to continue to wear. Plus, sculpted heels are gaining momentum on the streets, and will likely continue well into the fall season. This is pair of sculpted heel mules is a great investment to wear now and throughout the rest of the year.

Summer 2021 sneakers capsule from left: Gucci platform sneakers / grey boat shoes (under $100!)

I can never get enough sneakers! These Gucci platform sneakers are super comfortable, and have been in my shoe collection for a couple of years now. They are perfect for days which require walking, travel, and general everyday comfort. They will continue to get a lot of wear from me! In addition, these canvas boat shoes serve the same purpose, but are much more comfortable on warm summer days. They can be worn without socks, and offer coolness plus comfort while walking. They have already been getting a lot of wear during the spring season, I anticipate they will get a ton of wear this summer as temperatures continue to warm up. They are a must-have this summer for travel and walking days!

Espadrilles are a must-have every summer. Not only are they soft and comfortable for walking, they are cool on hot days, and allow for easy walking on the beach. I cannot live without espadrilles in the summer! This pair of wedge espadrilles is a summer go-to for me. I have owned them for several years, and have purchased them in black and a darker tan color throughout the years. The ivory hue is my favorite. It seems to go with everything. Plus, they are priced under $100 which is always fabulous!

Another classic pair of must-have espadrilles are these classic flats. I have them in both black and grey. They are comfortable, easy to walk in, and ideal for hot summer, casual days. They go with shorts, casual skirts, sundresses, and pants. Love!

This summer, since things are opening up, and I plan to go places, I decided to invest in a pair of leather espadrilles. This tan pair is a great neutral hue which is easy to wear with almost anything. They are very comfortable and look more structured for lunches and daytime events than the canvas pairs. They are a great alternative for being casual, yet put-together. They are also from my spring capsule, and I have loved wearing them. I may pick up an ivory pair as the summer progresses. The ivory is a really pretty color, and the style is classic, so they can be worn every summer. Love!

What shoes are you wearing this summer? This is my summer 2021 capsule wardrobe, which may seem larger than my usual shoe capsule wardrobes, but they are mostly repeat shoes from spring and previous seasons; so this summer shoe capsule is a culmination of several investment pairs of shoes. I love a good investment shoe which can be worn season after season, year after year! It’s a great way to save money; so you know, we can buy handbags. haha

Stay tuned for my summer handbag capsule coming later this week! Check out my summer capsule wardrobe, which I posted last week.

Pool slides for summer 2021

Move over flip-flops, summer 2021 is all about pool slides! Don’t worry about that peice of plastic rubbing between your first two toes, flip flops are so last year. This year, the beach and the pool call for a hearty pair of plastic slides; and I am here for it!

As street style trends towards more comfortable footwear, beach styles and pool styles are no different. Summer 2021 is all about comfortable footwear, and the pool slide fits the bill as the perfect shoe to wear to the beach or the pool. Love!

Pool slides are super comfortable. They have a thicker sole than your average pair of flip flops, and that sole is generally cushy and comfy. The sole is so comfy, you may find yourself using your pool slides as a summer slipper at home! I know I have already been wearing mine around the house on warm spring days!

You can find varying styles of pool slides to fit your personal style. Personally, I love all of the styles by adidas, but there are luxury versions too. You can rock pool slides any way you wish! Look for metallics, floral prints, designer logos, and more! You can also look for seasonal colors, or classic hues such as black or navy. There are pool slides for every taste this summer season.
