For all you girls on the cusp of heading back to campus, we’ve got the scoop on all the chic back to school footwear options this season. Whether your back to school style is preppy and polished, grunge glam, boho chic, punk princess or anything in between, we’ll let you know the best shoe styles and how to wear them. Check out our back to school footwear break down so you know just how to rock the hottest shoe styles to class, work and any other place campus life may take you this year.

Booties and Boots
With fall and winter just a hop, skip and a jump away you can’t forget to take some cute booties back to school with you. This season we have fallen in love with laser cut out booties, we suggest getting a pair in nude with a medium height heel and a pair in black with a super high heel. The nude option is perfect for class and work while the black pair will serve you well when heading out, on a date, to a party or any other place that calls for a chic outfit.  In terms of boots it’s always a good idea to invest in a black knee high pair; these will come in handy quite often and can be styled to suit any personal taste.

Flats, Sneakers and Loafers
Oxfords, smoking slippers and slip on skater shoes are our go-to options for flat campus footwear options this season. Oxfords have been a huge trend this year and work perfectly with casual outfits like cuffed jeans and a designer t-shirt. Smoking slippers are super comfy and come in all different shades and prints, so invest in a few so that you’ll have a pair to suit any outfit your wardrobe has to offer. Slip on skater shoes are perfect for the girl who likes to keep her look sporty and casual, think about pairing slips on skater shoes with a varsity dress or jacket.

Pumps and Heels
Pumps and heels are a campus must, not for everyday wear of course, but for special occasions, interviews, campus events and dates you’ll be happy you brought along a few pairs. Obviously a simple pair of black pumps is a must, but in addition to that we also recommend investing in a pair of lace up heels, chunky Mary Jane heels and a sleek little pair of ankle strap heels. All of these heel options can be worn with both casual and formal outfits depending on how you style them. You could easily pair any of these footwear options with a smart pant suit for a presentation as well as a LBD for girls night out.

Ladies keep these chic shoe options in mind when you’re doing your back to school wardrobe padding!
