Hey gorgeous! Spring is finally here and whether or not you need new shoes, it always makes our day to see some beautiful designer footwear! Doesn’t it? After all, Carrie Bradshaw raised our generation to be shoe-lovers!

Trendy Shoes & Styles for Spring Summer 2019

So that’s why I went though the Spring Summer 2019 runway collections of over 50 designers, rewatched many shows and zoomed in to their pictures to check out the shoes and spot the latest shoe trends. We’re seeing both new and old styles. So without making you wait any further, lemme show you all of the trendy shoes for this season!

Let’s go!

1. Knotted & Tie Ups

Knotted heels are the #1 trendy shoes for this season. Whether it’s knot or bow details, or tie-up knotted heels, they’re all trendy, and we saw this style in many designers’ collections, including Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta, Dior, etc. Not exactly a new trend, but I’m loving the knotted ankle strap style, as well as the boho fringed tie-up shoes by ODLR. Knots are also one of the most popular trends in dresses for SS19.

2. Plexi

The trendy shoes in clear plexi we saw last year are still going very strong. We’re seeing plexi heels, slip-ons, clear strappy heels and even clear thigh-high boots. Plexi is also one of the top handbag trends for Spring 2019. Well, we all know this last one never feels comfortable, but well, as I always say – I’m just a trend reporter, not a trend creator! So hear me complain, guys – let’s get rid of anything that can show my perspiration. Yuck! Plus, I’m never let anything that can give me shoe bites + eczema all at the same time. Thanks, but no thanks! I’ll just leave this one for Kim Kardashian!

3. Combat Boots

Perhaps designers heard we’re looking for something practical and comfortable. That’s why we’re seeing combat boots and combat-inspired heels in so many top designer collections for Spring Summer 2019. The trendy shoes are best worn in neutral shades like nude or khaki. Go for the classic combat shoes, or get a pair with a chic twist like gold laces, or double tone.

4. Statement Socks & Pantyhose

We saw statement pantyhose as one of the top fashion trends in Fall 2018. And again, this season is the perf opportunity to wear something even cuter. Last season’s mesh socks, lamé and logo socks are still in. And this year’s trendy shoes can also be worn with animal or floral patterned pantyhose or artsy prints.

5. Statement Platform

Now here’s something new the designers are giving us. If you wanna add height, do so in style! While the trendy shoes have been getting intricate treatments for many seasons now, even the platforms are getting all showy this season. We saw embossed designs, two-tone, striped or edged styles. Check them out:

6. Statement Strappy Sandals

It can’t be summer without the strappy flats, right? And for SS19, even the simple sandals have to be cute. Go bold or go home. Dolce & Gabbana came up with super cool grass and flower designs on their sandals. While Dior had ballerina inspired tie-ups. Alberta Ferretti had beautiful ethnic woven flats in double tones. And my favorite trendy shoes of this season – Valentino had feather flats and Oscar de la Renta had gold fringes! Next time, get fake feathers, and I’ll give you brownie points, Pierpaolo Piccioli!

7. Studded

Hardly a new trend, but it seems that some designers just don’t want to try new hardware. o we’re back with studs. And who can complain, I’m still looking for a heavily studded headband a la Jenny Humphrey of Gossip Girl. Anyhow, this season’s trendy shoes include studded strappy heels and booties.

8. Floral Patterns

Florals in spring? Groundbreaking! They defininitely are not, but if they’re too pretty, I can get behind them. We saw hand painted and printed shoes. Loving the Alexander McQueen ones. Microflorals are also trending as one of the top styles in fashion for 2019.

9. Very Pointy Toe

Again, here’s an old trend that’s back straight from the early 2000s. Pointy toes are trendy, but very pointy sharp toes are also back.

10. Chains

I love some extra hardware details in shoes, whether it’s large buckles, studs or in this case – chains. Chain link details are very catchy and can make a statement without being too extra! Loving the single ankle chain strap by Zimmermann.

11. Logo Straps

Last but not the least, here’s a new way to sport your favorite brand’s logo without making it too visible. This season’s trendy shoes have thin logo straps that can only show when one looks very closely. Subtle!

So, I hope you enjoyed my list of shoe trends for this season. Which SS19 shoe style is your favortie? And which one’s your least favorite? Lemme know below! I’d love to see your new spring shoes too, so don’t forget to tag me in your Insta pics @shilpaahujadotcom!
