I feel like I never know what kind of shoes to wear anymore. Can we please just go back to skinny jeans with riding boots? At least I knew how to do that properly! Instead of giving into the trends that make my head spin I’m trying to stay classic but updated to the current times. Man I sound old…

From classic loafers (thrilled they are back!) to trendy sneakers, from boots that make a statement to cozy slippers, I’ve pulled together my favorite styles of the season. Shop the full list here or scroll down for more.

Loafers & Flats

Loafers are still having a moment this year, and I’m here for it. They take me right back to my early 2010s boat shoe days! Speaking of which, I’m very into this 2026 take on the boat shoe. These under-$100 loafers are another classic pick.

I’m also loving the shape and fit of ballet flats lately. This shape is everywhere this year, and you can never go wrong with a pair of leopard flats in my book.

I also love a classic basketweave and have last year’s version of these. They’re gorgeous IRL. This pair is similar.

I think these mules are also très chic!

Sneakers

Let’s be real, no matter how many pairs of shoes I own, I always reach for sneakers first. At this point in my life, comfort is my priority! My two go-tos for fall are these New Balance 530s (I love this tonal color-way) and the Adidas Spezials that I have in multiple colors.

Boots

If there’s one shoe category I splurge on every fall, it’s boots. A classic lugsole boot is a forever staple (especially for bad weather days), and suede ankle boots go with just about everything. Knee-high boots with a heel feel sophisticated and pulled together. For a fun twist, I’m really drawn to these western-inspired boots!
