Shoe capsule wardrobe from top: loafer mules / lug sole boots (water resistant) / Mary Janes / rose and white sneakers / black boots /

My fall shoe capsule wardrobe is assembled! This fall, classic shoe styles such as loafers, loafer mules, street sneakers, and lug sole boots are hot on the streets. Of course, the western style boot trend, which is also timeless, is considered an ongoing trend in footwear.

The Mary Jane is a classic shoe style which ebbs and flows when it comes to fashion. It is good to invest in a pair which you can wear while the trend is hot, and then store for a time when the trend returns; and it always returns. I have a pair of Prada Mary Janes in my closet with a 3″ heel so I decided to invest in a shorter pair this season to give myself options. It is nice to have a high pair, and a low pair. I love this low pair which offers two straps and fancy buttons. Plus, they are under $200. Love that!

These lug sole boots are a fabulous stand-by which never goes out of style. The lug sole is perfect in both rain and snow. I also love how the lug sole grips in icy conditions. Of course, street sneakers are still hot! I love this rose and white pair since rose is an autumn hue from the pink family; and we all love pink right now!

I also love a classic pair of western style boots. My pair from last year is still on rotation, but a black pair is a must-have. These are comfortable and timeless. They go with all of my casual looks. Love that!

Loafers are as timeless as sliced bread; therefore, loafer mules are also as timeless as sliced bread. I love my loafer mules on warm fall days. With a little TLC, this pair lasts year after year! When you invest in a good pair of shoes, remember to polish them to keep them looking fresh.

Shoe capsule wardrobe summer 2023

Shoe capsule wardrobe summer 2023 from top left: mint green sneakers (similar) / black slides / metallic fabric espadrilles / metallic leather espadrilles / classic wedge espadrilles in ivory /

I am back on my espadrille kick! Espadrilles are my favorite summer shoe because they are soft, and the fabric allows your feet to breath. Also, with planter fasciitis, you can wear espadrilles if they have a wedge and you also wear a support band on your foot. Test this out at home before leaving the house to ensure it works for your particular planter fasciitis case. Also, bring a backup pair of sneakers with your orthotics inside just in case the espadrilles and band aren’t cutting it. I leave my sneakers in the trunk of my car in case I need to switch them out. So far, I haven’t’ had to do that! Yay!

Green, in any shade, is huge right now, so I picked up these mint green dunks when Nike offered design-your-own dunks. It will be fun to wear mint green sneakers this summer. It is such a pretty color!

My summer will be fairly casual, so I am not including my high heels in this post. Of course, I do keep a classic black pair in my closet just in case!

Shoe capsule wardrobe spring 2023

spring 2023 shoe capsule wardrobe

Shoe capsule wardrobe spring 2023 from left: loafer mules / high top sneakers / woven slides / scalloped ballet flats /

My spring 2023 shoe capsule wardrobe is slim this year, because to be frank, it is still very cold outside! I am wearing rain boots and sneakers more than anything else these days with all of this rainfall and unseasonably cold weather. That being said, I do have spring shoes in my archives which are both classic and on trend for the spring 2023 season.

I am sure you know about investment shopping and investment dressing. These loafer mules, and ballet flats, are investment pieces I purchased many years ago. They are always in style, and this year, the ballet flats are a hot trend. Love that! If you haven’t invested in a good pair of loafer mules or ballet flats, I highly recommend finding a beautiful pair to invest in this season. You will find yourself reaching for them year after year; then you won’t need to buy new shoes every year since you will already have a classic pair in your closet. While you may spend more in the short run on an investment pair of shoes, you end up saving money in the long run by not needing to replace them every year.

In addition to loafer mules and ballet flats, slides are still a hot trend as we move into both spring and summer, as well as street sneakers. While disco platform pumps are also a hot trend, you won’t be seeing me in those. I need to be closer to earth.

As you shop for spring, look for square toes too. The square toe is a huge trend in footwear right now, and you will see it a lot in the coming seasons.

These street sneakers are super fun since they are in the color of 2023. The retro high-top style is also a fun vibe which works well with the 1980s and 1990s influence we are seeing in fashion right now.

Hopefully the rain tapers off, so I can wear all these shoes and not get wet! haha
