A decent pair of sneakers or oxfords or even Birkenstocks can add so much more than mere functionality to your daily look. Different types of footwear are specially designed to complete your daily fashion ensemble. There are so many styles and varieties to choose from, making it a lot harder to pick. Here are some of the best shoe trends for men and women to explore as per the season, occasion, and purpose.

Men’s classics
Sneakers are the ultimate classic footwear. In fact, top footwear brands reintroduce these trendy kicks every year in vivid styles. Minimalist sneakers are available in the primary solids, usually featuring an all-white finish. Brands like Converse, Adidas, and Nike focus on the classic double tone silhouette, featuring two popular solid colors with their brand logo. Furthermore, you have the bright-colored maximalist or chunky sole sneakers that go well with casuals and denim.

Men’s essentials
Keeping up with the best shoe trends is not just limited to women’s fashion. Popular alternatives include lighter brogues and oxfords for casual occasions and darker shades for more formal outings. Suede sneakers continue to remain in style and compliment almost every type of outfit. Chunky leather boots and white trainers are reserved for hipper fashion. Let’s not forget the multipurpose loafer, best suited for wear during the summer months.

Women’s trendy footwear for the summer
Summer shoes are designed for comfort, and that is why the classic summer Birkenstocks are one of the popular crowd favorites. Other favorites feature lightweight slip-on loafers, old-school tennis sneakers, thick-soled slide-in sandals, and classic platform sandals. Most of these footwears feature a relatively open weave design that allows for cooling while protecting your sole from harsh elements.

Women’s best shoe trends for spring
The latest spring styles are all set to hit the shelves, inspired by Fashion Week and Runway. These include chunky strap sandals with breezy floral patterns, double buckle platforms, cozy Birkenstocks, and elevated flip flops.

Women’s trendy footwear for occasions
Your dressed-to-the-nine outfit is incomplete without a decent pair of classic heeled mules, or even thick heeled boots, heeled loafers, slingback loafers, and strappy sandals featuring extra-long laces. Nothing defines elegance better than straps and heeled footwear that you can wear for formal occasions and on casual dates.
