I’ve been living in Brooklyn for the past few years and I love the personal style of everyone I pass. I find myself asking passersby about their outfit, especially their shoes. This year, spring is taking longer than usual to arrive in my favorite town, but I’m preparing nonetheless. From what I noticed during our short stint in the sun, aka Fool’s Spring, shoes were still everywhere.
Boots shouldn’t be limited to winter, but I’m still surprised by the number of people who wear boots. I thought people would be wearing sandals, heels, flip-flips… but then it dawned on me: These boot trends will be everywhere once spring officially arrives. From moto boots to animal-print, boots are still going to be a major trend for spring.
If you’re a fan of spring shoes, keep scrolling to see outfit inspiration and shop all the trends.

Slouchy shoes look great on me. They effortlessly add texture to an outfit by adding texture without trying hard. In Brooklyn we’re always going for an effortlessly cool vibe.

kitten-heeled shoes
If there’s one shoe that I see worn religiously around my block, it’s the kitten-heeled shoe. Since winter, this has been a major trend in NYC, and it’s clearly a fan favorite for spring too. I’m pairing mine with shorts and a tank top for a girly, cool-girl look.

animal-print shoes
This trend is definitely for the bold and adventurous dressers. If you don’t like prints, I suggest you try animal-print shoes with a simple dress like the one below. You can also wear them with jeans or pants and add a slight pop of print to your outfit.
