The Must-Have Shoe Styles for Spring 2024
1 || Show Your Toes
Look no further, as this trend has you sorted. Designers are directing their focus towards our toes, particularly embracing the peep toe style. The SS24 collections showcased a range of toe-revealing options, with Alaïa, Mugler, and Schiaparelli unveiling pumps that provided just a subtle glimpse. On the other hand, Louis Vuitton took it a step further, revealing only the hallux beneath sheer tights. You’ll find open-toe ballet flats, mules, skin-tight boots, and platforms. Pick your favorite and you are good to roll.
2 || The Platform
Enormous platforms have ruled the catwalks this season. The most memorable style is the one seen on Gucci’s runway. You can wear these with everything from denim and short suits to dresses and miniskirts. Enjoy.
3 || Comfy Slippers
Ah, I love the fact that comfort has become a trend, isn’t just relaxing? Now you can go out with your most minimal and comfortable flip-flops and be on trend 😉 Your perfect choice for chill days.
4 || Kitten Heel
In 2024, the kitten heel is undergoing a revitalization, manifesting in a spectrum of colors, textures, and styles. This trend has manifested in slouchy boots at Balenciaga and gladiator boots adorned with pearls at Dior. Valentino, Versace, and Gucci have also embraced the micro-heel trend, each putting their own unique spin on it.
5 || Pointed & Sharp
Pointed toes and sharp heels emerged as prominent shoe trends during the spring/summer 2024 season. Fashion houses such as Prada, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, and Saint Laurent embraced more classic styles. In contrast, brands like Balenciaga, Acne Studios, Avavav, Luar, and Hodakova opted for playful and cartoonish interpretations of the trend. Whether you consider yourself the most daring or the most gentle woman, this trend caters to everyone.
6 || In Your Socks
This trend is less about a specific type of shoe and more about the styling approach. Shoes paired with tights or long socks made a ubiquitous appearance on the runways, showcased by Givenchy, Jil Sander, Zimmerman, Louis Vuitton, Johanna Parv, and Maison Margiela. Anticipated to be the next big thing, this style allows you to confidently wear your favorite pumps, sandals, or flats with socks or tights, breaking away from any perceived oddness.
7 || Updated Flats
Ballet flats have become a timeless essential, garnering our admiration for quite some time. In 2024, this enduring trend receives a fresh update with the incorporation of mesh, embellishments, and anklet details. The wide array of styles available adds to the charm, providing a delightful variety for everyone’s preferences.
8 || Slouchy
Slouchy and laid-back styles are taking over from the skin-tight boots of previous seasons. These footwear options are effortlessly versatile, pairing well with anything from mini dresses and pantless ensembles to baggy denim.
9 || Something Satin
Another trend that will add an extra dose of feminity to your looks. Satin footwear has made appearances at Prada, Givenchy, and Altuzarra. Choose non-neutral colors such as bubblegum pink, icy blue, and lime green for an instant and delightful pop.
10 || Nets
Net footwear is getting a fresh makeover in 2024. After the success of net ballet flats, we are now ready to see a wide variety of shoe styles in the form of netting. Seen at The Row, Proenza Schouler, and Stella McCartney, we are expecting to see these a lot in the upcoming season.
