As the cool weather rolls in we get to break out the sexy fall footwear, boots and flats galore. It’s time to say goodbye to flip-flops and hello to gorgeous, lux fall shoes. There is nothing better than slipping on a sultry pair of boots and taking a stroll in the brisk fall air. This year’s shoe trends are functional and fabulous, ensuring that you’ll stay warm and look great. To help you get your fall footwear collection started on the right foot we have our list of new fall footwear trends.

Chelsea Boots

Chelsea boots are a tight fitting ankle boot that are conventionally worn when horseback riding. But this year stars like Alexa Chung, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have all been seen strutting around in these cute booties. The Chelsea boot tends to have a very short or wedged heels, making them very comfortable and ideal if you’re going to be on your feet for a while. These shoes look great with skinny jeans, legging and skirts, so its super easy to work them into your wardrobe.

Point Toed Ballet Flats

Ballet flats typically have a rounded toe making them very precious and cute. But this year they are getting an edgy makeover that is perfect for fall. Designers are now making ballet flats with dramatically pointed toes and we are loving the new look. Pointed loafers are great for the work environment as well as casual wear. Look for patent or suede fabric with a little extra accent detailing.

Shimmery Stilettos

For a fall cocktail party nothing is more perfect that a shimmery pair of stilettos. The way they catch the light is stunning and we just love how they elongate the look of the legs. You could opt for a shimmery black pair and keep things simple or go for a bold bright colored pair that grab some attention.
