This is Campus Fashion, your source of inspiration for seasonal trends, cool finds, and wardrobe basics to keep you looking stylish throughout the year.
With spring just around the corner, it’s time for a change up in what you wear on your feet. Swap out your heavy, clunky winter boots for sleeker, more sophisticated footwear that is sure to turn heads and get you to your classes in style. The Cascade compiled a list of the top five shoe trends to get excited about for spring.
Sleek and slim fitting running shoes are all the rage, bringing both comfort and sophistication to an ensemble. Try wearing a pair of skinny black sneakers with jeans, a black turtleneck and a long oatmeal cardigan for a fun, casual look. To elevate the look, swap out the turtleneck and cardigan with a white button-down shirt, and a blazer.
Pumps are a staple wardrobe piece, and for a more feminine look, add a pair with bows to your collection. Wearing a cream and pink floral dress, a trench coat, and baby pink pumps with matching bows is a nice outfit to go on a lunch date with friends. For an evening look, pair a bold red bow pump with a tailored black jumpsuit and a black motto leather jacket.
A revamp of the classic loafers, this style goes great with any outfit. Wear an indigo wash denim shirt dress with a pair of dark brown backless loafers and a white lightweight wool coat. On date night, try pairing black backless loafers with a leopard print maxi dress and a black denim jacket.
Created to be form fitting, these flats more resemble socks than shoes. Dress up a pair of black dress pants and a pink button-down shirt with black glove flats for a put together look. During the evening, opt for a satin pair to go with a little black dress and a hooded dark grey wool coat with faux fur cuff sleeves.
While the weather will get warmer, it is still going to have rainy days from time to time. Having a nice pair of boots is not only practical, but stylish. Wear a pair of dark green hunter boots with black jeans, a black crewneck sweater and a cream soft shell raincoat when it rains. For a more sophisticated look, a pair of tall black leather boots go well with a cream sheath sweater dress and a long indigo denim coat.
There you have it, a list of some fun shoes to wear as the weather warms up. Try some new styles to add a spring to your step this season!
