Fall is in full bloom, or should I say, full color. Pumpkin spice is in the air, and our hands are wrapped around warm fall inspired lattes. We’ve got our light scarves and stylish jackets on, but how about your feet? Shoes are a girl’s best friend, and no, she can never have too many, especially when she can get them on a budget.
Here are seven trendy fall shoes that are stylish and under $100. Talk about a great reason to go shoe shopping.
Platform Boots
Add some height this fall without sacrificing comfort with platform boots. They go perfectly with rolled up skinny jeans and give you that ‘laid back but still ready for fun’ look. Try on these black snack print platform boots ($39.95) from H&M.
Strappy Ankle Boots
The theme for this season is to add detail and to turn plain into plainly extraordinary. Strappy ankle boots or boots with multi-straps add detail to booties that gain the right kind of attention. They wear well with long loose skirts or playful miniskirts. Free People have a vintage inspired multi-strap bootie ($29.95) that offers a little peep toe action.
Round-Toe Heels
Round-toe heels add a nice touch to any wardrobe without the discomfort. These round-toe heels from Luulla ($45.99) pull double duty in the fall shoe trends department. Complete with trendy ankle straps, these heels even have little gold charms that hang from the strap’s buckle!
Studded Leather Boots
Are you looking for a little edge without being too edgy? Then studded leather boots are what your feet need this fall. Add some spice to your wardrobe with some stellar detail. Studded boots make a return this season, and it isn’t hard to see why. They can spruce up any wardrobe and take you from day to night with little effort on your part. Wear these Ci Ci Hot studded knee high rider boots ($50.40) over jeans and any top you prefer.
Jeweled Flats
Every girl needs a little sparkle, sowhy not have it on your shoes? It was good for Dorothy when she walked that yellow brick road, and it will be good for you too as you walk the streets in style. These jewel accent flats ($60.90) from YesStyle.com will go well with sweater dresses or any outfit that calls for you to show a little leg.
Suede Pumps
Suede pumps are like the little black dress of shoes this fall. They are classic, sophisticated and perfect for work thanks to their style and comfort. Try on these blue and navy suede pumps ($89) from Zappos with any one of your work outfits. And they don’t have to be limited to just the office. If you receive a happy hour invite, you will be well prepared for fun after hours.
Oxfords
Oxfords are another trend that returned this season. They aren’t just for students anymore, thank goodness! You will be studious and chic in these cute oxfords ($45) from Aldo Shoes. I own a pair of these beauties in light pink with plans to wear them with pencil skirts and jeans with peplum tops.
And there they are. Seven shoes all under $100 that will complete your fall outfits and make them pop with style! Staying trendy this season will be a breeze with these shoes in your closet.
