7 Chic Shoes to Step Up Your Fall Style

A knee-high boot is one of those fall staples that instantly makes an outfit feel more intentional. While brown will always be a classic, deep burgundy brings a little more richness to the season and still pairs easily with neutrals, denim and fall prints. This DREAM PAIRS pair has a sleek square toe and chunky heel for an elevated take on the classic boot.

Chocolate brown is basically fall’s answer to black. A pair of brown loafers can make jeans and a sweater feel polished without making your outfit feel overly dressed up. This pair from Coutgo has a classic penny-loafer shape and glossy chocolate finish that can easily go from the office to weekend plans.

Mary Janes are an easy way to add a little personality to your everyday flats. The simple strap gives them a more styled feel, while a glossy burgundy finish brings in that rich fall color palette. This LUXINYU pair combines both with a square toe that keeps the silhouette feeling modern.

Sometimes the smallest detail is what makes a basic outfit interesting. Tabi-inspired flats have a split-toe shape that gives the classic ballet flat a more fashion-forward feel without sacrificing its simplicity. This cream pair from CUSHIONAIRE keeps things neutral, making them surprisingly easy to work into your existing closet.

If you want something dressier than a flat but don’t feel like committing to a full heel, a slingback Mary Jane lands right in the middle. The open back, delicate straps and low heel can elevate everything from jeans to dresses. This glossy black pair from Mostrin is especially versatile for fall and can easily carry into the holiday season.

Sneaker comfort meets ballet-flat styling with this trend. Ballet sneakers give you the slim shape and straps of a Mary Jane with a casual sneaker sole, making them an easy choice when you want your everyday shoes to feel a little more interesting. This neutral pair from Tigeridea has contrast trim and delicate detailing that gives the sporty silhouette a softer look.

Kitten heels are proof that a little lift can go a long way. The low heel and pointed toe give them that polished, dressed-up feel, while a mule silhouette keeps things effortless. This pair from SOVANYOU adds Western-inspired stitching into the mix, making them an easy way to give jeans and trousers a little more personality this fall.
