NYC Fashion People Can’t Stop Wearing These Anti Trend Shoes
It’s no secret that New Yorkers are always on the move. Dashing from the office to a meeting across town, hailing a taxi to head to a new dinner spot, or power walking 30 blocks to avoid the subway. The shoes they wear need to keep up, and there’s a specific formula that works every time. Style + comfort + quality = the best anti-trend shoes money can buy and you’ll see them everywhere in the Big Apple. So, whether you’re headed to the concrete jungle yourself, or simply fancy a slice of NYC style in your own closet, you’re in the right place. I’ve hand-picked 21 pairs of designer anti-trend shoes that will go with everything you own, not just this year, but for many more to come.

Anti-Trend Shoes From Day To Night
The reason I love anti-trend shoes so much? They go with everything and work for any event on your calendar. From chic, all-black kitten heels for dinner dates to neutral-hued sneakers for strolling stylishly through the park, the options are endless and eternally in style. Not to mention, with such an irresistible selection of designer flats for both low-key and dressy occasions, you can enjoy all the perks of stylish shoes with none of the pain. For example, next time you’re headed to a cocktail party in a little black dress, forget the heels and slip your feet into the silver Vagabond flats by Vagabond Shoemakers. The Eridani wool mini dress by Max Mara will put all the focus on your shoes whilst the chainmail shoulder bag by Rabanne enhances the chic silver colorway.
Meanwhile, when you’re simply looking to get from A to B (in style of course), the Elan sneakers by Gola are a must. Firstly, the neutral sandy hue will go with countless dresses and other outfits already in your closet. Secondly, they feel as good on as they look. Style yours with the Malena mini dress by Reformation and the Bleeker canvas leather tote by Kate Spade. It’s an off-duty outfit you’ll come back to on repeat.

Statement Anti-Trend Shoes That Won't Go Out Of Style
Just because anti-trend shoes are eternally stylish doesn’t mean they can’t still be the focal point of your look. For example, the silver Torpedo sneakers by Gola. They’re the perfect way to dress up a casual outfit, and the silver tone will add a polished edge to any outfit. Plus, we all know silver colorways are going nowhere. They’ll remain an essential style staple of any capsule closet. Add a cute tote like the white shopper bag by Brunello Cucinelli, and a simple white mini dress with the option to layer for fall. The Shea solid mini dress by Free People is so cute and will work perfectly.
Finally, when only a dressy shoe will do, try the Lindley ballet flats by Gucci. These sleek black flats will go with every dress you own. Additionally, they’ll look just as good as heels when you don’t feel like contending with the height all evening. Add the Maya bubble dress by SNDYS with the Nobile patent leather clutch by Tom Ford and prepare for compliments.
