Winter Shoe Trends You Need To Know For Next Season

Get excited, this year’s winter shoe trends are some of the chicest I’ve ever seen. From sleek studded pumps and buckle-embellished knee boots to animal print  flats and pretty patent slingbacks. No matter the style or the occasion you’re shoe shopping for, you’ll find your dream shoes right here. And, to make things even easier, I’ve curated this swoon-worthy edit of designer heels to elevate your closet for the months ahead. Keep scrolling for all the best new designer footwear from Gucci, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and so many more.

A person is embracing winter shoe trends with the GIVENCHY Voyou black leather buckle knee boots, featuring pointed toes and thin stiletto heels. Decorative buckles adorn the front and back, adding flair. Completing the look is a black garment that partially drapes over their legs.

Winter Shoe Trends That Work Perfectly With Dresses

Jeans and pants are a go-to in cold weather, but if you’re loyal to dresses like me, take note of these chic winter shoe trends. First of all, knee boots will be essential in your cold-weather closet. Luckily, they’re undeniably chic and eternally versatile. Therefore, they’ll go with every dress you own – and make them instantly more stylish! For example, the Voyoueather buckle knee boots by Givenchy. I’ll be styling these boots with smart work dresses and casual silhouettes for weekend plans. For example, the Astrid wool cashmere wrap dress by Diane Von Furstenburg and the Callista slim-grained leather tote will work perfectly for both. Additionally, these boots will look amazing with structured longline coats when temperatures truly drop.

Meanwhile, when the occasion calls for heels, look no further than the crystal-embellished satin pumps by Dolce & Gabbana. These stunning crystal bow stiletto sandals are made for party season. Style yours with a stylish LBD and a silver bag to match. I highly recommend the open-back skater mini dress by Saint Laurent and the Monaco mini bag by Balenciaga.

Winter Shoe Trends For Lovers Of Heels

If you’re all about heels, these winter shoe trends are for you. Firstly, animal prints are back for yet another fall/winter season and I can totally see why. Aside from spots and stripes, this classic print style guarantees your shoe choices will remain in style for years to come. Luckily, the Cedar snake-embossed pumps by Kahite exist. Add these heels to your cart before they inevitably sell out. Like the heels above, they’ll look just as amazing with work dresses as they do with casual ones. Style yours with Givenchy’s belted ribbed wool midi dress and the glossed croc-effect shoulder bag by Tom Ford for a playful weekday ensemble.

Finally, black designer slingbacks may be a timeless classic, but you’ll be seeing even more of them this winter. For example, the Lady Horsebit pumps by Gucci will be a staple of any footwear lineup throughout this season and beyond. Pair yours with the Dulce viscose short dress by Isabel Marant and the Secret woven metallic leather clutch bag by Serapian for a pretty and playful smart/casual look.
