The winter to spring transition period is often many people’s favourites: from the warmer weather to the longer, sunnier days, what is there not to enjoy? Brighter days call for brighter wardrobes, and that starts with our shoes. Here are 7 pairs of charming shoes for the spring you would delightfully switch out of your winter boots for!

 

1. Socks and sandals

Highly inspired by Reem Acra and Antonia Marras’ Spring 2017 runway, more and more fashion bloggers have decided to break the “don’t wear sandals with socks” rule. Pair statement heels with a simple pair of white socks for an automatically subtler look if you dare!

2. Statement slip-ons

The slip-ons have been an iconic shoe for speedy mornings and casual looks for ages, yet designers never cease to impress us with the newest ways to embellish them. Satin pink or simple black, your pick!

3. Stylish loafers

The ultimate fashionista comfort shoe, the loafers, have been adorned by designers and worn by fashion icons such as Olivia Palermo and Bella Hadid throughout the years. Take a more versatile approach yourself, and opt for white leather loafers. From the runway, into your closet!

4. Flower power: take two

The floral trend seems to be making a comeback this season, in a much subtler and sophisticated way. From embroided Coachella gowns to tech accessories, simpler designs of this seemingly timeless trend have resurfaced.

5. Quirky block heels

For a bit of height and a bit of luxury, block heels are the perfect choice. Choose a pair with a quirky heel design to add an unique touch to your look! Lighter colors are stunning for the springtime, whereas darker colors can be worn for years to come.

6. All tied up

An unique twist on the lace-up flats trend, the ballerina shoe trend is all the rage on social media. Versatile as they are, they can be styled casually with ankle length denims, or worn for fancier events once paired with a statement dress. It’s up to you!

7. Platforms and sneakers

A spring shoes lookbook would not be complete without a perfect pair of sneakers. Sport the Ports 1961 runway look by adding a pair of platform sneakers to your wardrobe. Perfect for errands, stylish for the gym.
