The return of the square toe for fall 2020

fall shoe trends square toes

Square toe shoes for fall 2020: black stamped croc pumps / (My toes love these shoes!)

The square toe was a huge shoe trend ten to twelve years ago. Over the past few years it has been trying to make a comeback. For summer 2020, we saw several designers give their sandals a square toe; marking a comeback for the toe shape.

As we move into the fall 2020 season, the square toe is taking the fashion world by storm. Many designers included square toe styles in their collections, giving buyers a choice between more traditional, rounded toes, and the edgier square toe. Which will you choose?

Fall 2020 is giving us a lot of classic looks for the season, so why not mix things up with a square toe? This toe shape is proving to be able to make a comeback right now. This signals potential growth for the trend as we move in the 2021 seasons. We will start to see more shoes in the winter and spring seasons reflecting the squared off toe box on boots, loafers, pumps, and sandals. It’s the hottest shoe trend in town!

I absolutely adore the square toe for the fall. This shoe style offers more room for your toes! A roomy toe box is key when you do a lot of walking and standing. Toes can sit in a more natural state within the shoe, instead of being crammed into a pointy toe which does nothing but cause pain. Loving this trend!

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: patchwork jeans (under $40!) / black affordable loafer slides / fall nail polish / green and gold earrings / soft grey cardigan sweater /

Welcome to the 4th BAF Weekly IT List! I’m excited about this IT list because the spring 2021 runway shows just finished in New York. We got a glimpse of what is hot for the spring season; and what is not. This helps us make informed decisions about what we buy now; to last us through several seasons.

Spring 2021 is all about 1980s and 1990s influence. So these patchwork jeans for fall are also ideal to carry us through spring; and summer if the weather is cool enough for jeans. At under $40, they aren’t just a great investment for now into next year, they are a downright steal!

Loafer slides are a must-have every fall season. They are also a great spring shoe too. If you haven’t already invested in a pair of classic loafers, I recommend doing so now. If you scroll down, you can compare the designer IT version of loafer slides, with an affordable version I highly recommend.

This fall nail polish by Chanel continues to be a hot seller, and a must-have for fall. It’s a classic dark red, and very chic. Love!

As the weather cools, we all need a soft and cozy cardigan sweater which can be worn around the house, as well as out in the real world. If you are spending a ton of time at home, as I am, this is the ideal sweater for the season. It will carry you through fall, winter, and spring. Love it!

Lastly, remember I mentioned spring 2021? These green and gold fall earrings fit into the spring 2021 color trends. This is an easy way to add a bright spring hue to a dreary fall or winter day. Plus, they can be worn next spring and summer. These are classic earrings and an easy way to stay ahead of the trends. You know I love staying ahead of the trend curve!

Classic Loafer Slides designer or deal: Popular IT shoes, Gucci loafer slides / affordable loafer slides priced under $150 /

I have owned the Gucci loafer slides for several years now. They are extremely comfortable, and can be paired with almost any outfit. My loafer slides are my go-to shoes every fall and spring. I even wear them on warm winter days, and cool summer days. They go with everything! Since fall is trending towards preppy and timeless vibes, these are a great shoe to invest in now, and wear for years.

You can splurge on the Gucci pair, or go for a more affordable pair under $150. The affordable pair is comfortable and offers good quality. So you should enjoy longevity out of them.

Let me know what you think of this new series! I hope you love it!

Welcome to the third BAF Weekly IT List for the fall season! Since it is after labor day, this is a great time to snap up fall cosmetics such as fall nail polish and lipstick. I am featuring a top coat and base coat this week because a proper home manicure is a must! I swear by this base coat and top coat. I have been using this base coat since the 1990s! It is amazing. Of course, this fabulous top coat keeps your manicure from chipping before your nails start to grow and show nail at the bottom. Love them!

These loafers are classic, and fit right into the current fall shoe trends. Stamped croc and classic loafers are all the rage for fall. Love this pair since they are classic, comfortable, and priced under $150. Love!

Destroyed denim is back, and these jeans under $40 offer a skinny look, with girlfriend jean comfort. They are turning into my current go-to jeans. Love!

Hair salons are opening back up! This means we are getting our color touched up and we need to preserve it. This shampoo and conditioner is fabulous for adding moisture and preserving color. I am in love!

I hope you love these fall must-haves as much as I do! Enjoy the weekend, and stay fabulous 😉
