Now that Spring is running full throttle, it’s finally time to put those thigh-high boots away and bring out the sandals! Even if you decide to play your outfit safe, you can add a pop of color with some playful foot candy. This season boasts a few shoe trends that will add plenty of flair to your outfits of the day. A couple of flashback shoe trends as well. And speaking of trends, they always come back around. Keep your wears in good condition that way you won’t have to repurchase a trend you may have already owned but threw out in a cleaning frenzy.
Below is a curated guide of the most wearable trends that will surely add extra style factor to your looks. And as always, thanks for stopping by. Let me know which trend you love the most. XX, Maria
1. Square Toe
Give your toes more room with this throwback style from the 90’s. I honestly don’t know why this trend hasn’t truly circled back until now. There’s so many elevated styles at all price points. And BEST of all, my picks below incorporate the other shoe trends, giving you 2-in-1.Â
Yuul Yie Colorblock (+mule trend)
Charles David Herald Square Toe Sandal (+mule trend)
BY FAR – Carrie Metallic Leather Slingback (+strappy trend)
Stuart Weitzman square sandals
Topshop Fever Strappy Sandal (+strappy trend)
Kenneth Cole New York Katarina Open-Toe Bootie
Nine West Longitano Squared Toe Sandal (+strappy trend)
2. Toe Ring Sandal
This unique variation of a sandal might seem a little odd to some but that’s what makes it so appealing. Believe it or not the toe-ring detail holds your feet in place without slippage. I wasn’t sold at first, but love the snug fit and interesting detail.

3. Strap It UP
Again, not a “new” trend per sé but hitting the shops in many updated variations. Strappy sandals give a little twist and dimension to the average sandal. These sandals come in many heel versions from flats to chunky and kitten heels. This is a great way to show off your fresh pedi.

4. Mules
Mules are here to stay. Although trending, shoe designers are creating updated versions with various heel shapes, toe fronts, materials, colors and prints. You’ll no doubt find a pair to match your style aesthetic. A little history on mules, these backless shoes have been worn since Ancient Rome but never seen outside the house. The OG flat style were technically slippers.
