Top 5 Trends of Shoes for Spring 2017 From Fashion Week

With the great success of New York Fashion Week, we’re paying attention to some of the most fashionable and hottest shoe trends. Designers embraced a sophisticated palette this season and used their footwear collections to make the clothes feel less pretty-pretty, more fresh: think clunky shapes or easy slip-on mules.

 
Go on for the top shoe trends of 2017 Spring:


Mega Platforms

Get ready to start training your calves. Clunky platforms of this season — which had a punk style with metal studs, rivet or spotted prints — such designs were seen at well-known brands like Proenza Schouler, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs and Coach.

White Sneakers

The minimal look is here to stay. Box-fresh sneakers were offered in crisp-white colorways at Tommy Hilfiger, Band of Outsiders and Lacoste.

Ladylike Sandals

Elegance is in again. After seasons of what’s “cool,” there was a return to more feminine finishes at Monique Lhuillier, Tory Burch and Jonathan Simkhai.

Kitschy Details

Only for the confident. Whimsical details — such as fruit appliqués, feathers or animal motifs — were applied to the shoes at Altuzarra, Thom Browne and Libertine.

Easy Mules

This is a style that will never quit. Easy slip-on-and-go mules, either with closed or open toes, were seen at Thakoon, Tory Burch and Brock Collection.
