Shoe Trend #3: The Ballet Sneaker

Shoe Trend #4: Mary Jane Ballet Flats

Another ballet flat variant, and this is a great versatile one that you can dress up or down. Life was weird when ballet flats went out of style for a few years there, so I am happy they are back in so many different variations.

Shoe Trend #6: Boat Shoes

If you went to college circa 2009 era then you may also be scarred by these. No, like literally, we walked around campus wearing them in for miles and got so many blister. But they are so back. And this time with a little more personality than the standard plain Sperry’s pair literally everyone was wearing.

Shoe Trend #7: Flip Flops

Yep just regular old flip flops. But especially if they have a little heel or platform sole and give early 2000s vibes. I love this trend because, well don’t we all own a pair? And if you don’t, this is an inexpensive trend to hop on.

Here are a few of my favorite pairs:

Shoe Trend #8: Colorful Sneakers

Another sneaker trend is colorful sneakers. For a long time white and neutral sneakers were the trend, but now using your sneakers as a pop of color is the way to go. I love the colorways that Gola brand and Adidas have the most for this trend, but there are so many good ones out there.

Here are a few of my favorite pairs (and if you want more, then check out this post here!):

Shoe Trend #9: Loafers

Loafers were the cool girl shoe of fall and winter and I don’t see that slowing down for spring. Styling them with fun crew socks is key to add some personality. Lace and frilly details or cutesy prints help bring some femininity to a more “menswear” style shoe.

Here are a few of my favorite pairs:

Shoe Trend #10: Jelly Shoes

Another shoe that gives see-through vibes like the mesh and woven trends, but something you could wear out and about or poolside. A great spring break shoe that you can wear well into the summer.
