What will the well-heeled be wearing as the weather finally turns cooler? Here are some classic looks in footwear that will carry you through the fall and beyond. First, get used to those platforms and wedges. In the summer, it was all about sandals, and that heel will be seen on ankle boots, oxfords, pumps and lots of other styles. Chunkier heels are all the rage, so enjoy their comfort and stability. Kitten heels offer the high heel-challenged another break. But if you love your stilettos, you’re in luck as well – spike heels are still fashionable. Find shoes adorned with buckles and laces, whether they’re pumps or different boot lengths. All sorts of textures and materials are on trend, including satin, suede and patent leather.

Colorblocking was hot in spring, and it continues to be in fall. Marc Jacobs and other designers featured color combos like red and black on the fall runways. Discard the bright colors of summer and spring and go for more muted neutrals. Sounds boring, but neutral shades like taupe, brown and ivory are versatile and match most anything. If you’re looking for something bold, try an animal-print shoe or material. Crocodile and other reptile skins are great for fall, and animal prints are hot as well. Metallic shoes are a trend that offers a little glitz in the drab season, so you can wear boots or pumps with glitter, crystals, rhinestones or other embellishments. Keep tootsies toasty with shearling, fur and other fluffy materials.
