The Chicest Women Wear These Shoe Trends, and I Found Them at Nordstrom

There are a few specific shoe trends I’ve been seeing some of the chicest women wearing right now. And yes, I’m talking about those spotted on fashionable people out and about in my day-to-day life and on the style-setters I follow on Instagram. The silhouettes in question are not only forward in nature, but they are also quite versatile, in that they could be styled with a range of different outfits. The versatility and modern aspect help explain the popularity factor.

Oh, and a fun fact: As I scrolled through the shoe selection at Nordstrom (the department is epic), I noticed that there are plentiful options in stock for each trend. Below, I’m sharing the trending shoe silhouettes along with inspiration imagery. You’ll also find a smattering of shoe picks to suit different styles and budgets.

I had to kick off this story with the easy shoe style that recently entered the spotlight in an even greater way and shows no signs of dimming soon. Yes, I’m talking about ballet flats. They’re a true fashion-person staple.

Loafers—whether classic or with trendier design details—continue to be a polished shoe style of choice among style-setters.

A pair of slingbacks is about as elegant as it comes in my opinion. And this outfit? Perfection.

In the sneaker realm, it’s the retro sneakers (ahem, Adidas) that continue to dominate.

As spring inches closer, sandals will become more and more prevalent. I’ve started seeing simple strappy options pop up, and I bet I’ll be seeing more and more over the next few months.

The fashion crowd is embracing those Westerncore vibes, and there are so many fun cowboy boots and the like out there right now.
