Fashion Trends: Shoes for Fall & Winter 2010

While swimming in a sea of shoes may seem like a dream, pin-pointing the best shoes for fall can become overwhelming.   But we are here to help you find the best fashion trends and styles.   Thus we have paired down the many options while finding the best cool-weather shoes to tickle your feet fancy.

From lady-like pumps to 70s-inspired clogs, and a multitude of boots, the upcoming season is going to be a bastion of fabulous footwear.

Lady-like Pumps

There is no denying of importance of the basic pump in a well functioning wardrobe, yet this season, lady-like embellishments are all the rage. Bows, lace and intricate details add sugar, spice, and sex appeal.

This textured Dolce Vita Beam Pump for $79.17, is tastefully draped in lace resulting in classic style with an added twist. Add some sass to your office wear with these Joan & David Flipp Taupe Pump, $179.99.

Last, turn some heads with these bow adorned Beverly Feldman “Impressive” Pumps, $185.

Knotty Lace-ups

Chic, eye catching, and sometimes vintage like, lace-up booties are a unique spin on the menswear phenomenon appealingly integrated with feminine elements.

Playing on multiple trends through their use of platforms, bootie-like silhouette and of course, laces, both Elizabeth and James E-Moxy Leather Lace-up Boots, $395, and Sam Edelman Vancouver Boots, $225, are oozing sex appeal and a certain toughness.

For a different look and to transition from summer to fall in a snap try these BCBGeneration Carino Ankle Boot, $118.95, styled with peep-toe and a smaller heel.

Over the Knee is the Way to Be

Nothing is sexier this fall than a statement making over-the-knee boot. Try it to add sass and sex appeal to any outfit, regardless of the heel size.

To add inches and make an eye-turning entrace, try this suede Brittany2 Over Knee Boot, $210. For a flat option that is slightly more bohemian and casual, this House of Harlow 1960 Tessa Over the Knee Side Fringe Flat Boot , $350, is ideal.

Last, a seductive yet versatile this Belle by Sigerson Morrison Stretch Leather Over the Knee Boots, is an excellent investment option, $595.

Clog it Up

We didn’t think the clog trend would resurrect, but it is back.   While many may associate this heavy shoe with a Swedish milkmaid, we are happy to report, that after CHANEL featured the clog in their fall runway previews, a few modern and fashion-forward clog styles have emerged.

For a chic yet casual option, try this Vince Camuto “Christies” Clog, $69.90. For a simpler option perfect to pair with a wide-leg pant for an instant 70s feel, try these Jeffery Campbell “Charlie-C” Clog, $124.95.

For a spin on the classic clog silhouette reinvented as a bootie, try these Free People Winsford Clog Boots, $238.
