The Fall 2015 Shoe Trend Report
Strings Attached
Transitioning from summer into fall, the lace-up shoe trend continues to dominate the fashion sphere. Find your balance of crisscross tension, either by exposing your shins in knee-high, lace-up boots as seen at Giambattista Valli and Gucci, or by tugging at the laces like a corset as seen in the Victorian-era style boots from Altuzarra.

Being Mary Jane
This classic shoe is making a comeback with a more sleek and modern silhouette. Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, and Louis Vuitton all added this timeless shoe to their collections, available in two-tone colors or with a platform for that extra lift.

Smooth Operator
Still warming up to the idea of wearing head-to-toe velvet next season? Ease your way into the trend by going for jewel-toned heels in this smooth to the touch material as seen at Balmain and Dries Van Noten or with a nice solid ankle boot as presented at Givenchy.

Baby Got Back
Stiletto stems and heel blocks were dressed up in beads and embellishments at Oscar de la Renta and Rochas. If you want a less “blingy” version, then lean towards geometric shapes from Jason Wu and Salvatore Ferragamo.

Fantastic Plastic
The sub-trend to the statement stems comes with a translucent heel. Before you raise an eyebrow, you should know that these renditions are nothing like the racy plastic platform heels. As chic as ever, the see-through heel goes well with ankle and thigh-high boots.

Fancy Feet
Heavy beading, embroidery, crystals, and studs—nothing is off limits this season. Unleash your inner diva with beaded, ankle-strap heels from Rochas or go for heavy embroidery in knee-high boots by Emilio Pucci.

Built-In Socks
Remember the sock-and-boot-in-one trend from Chanel Spring 2014? This time, the woolly tube sock is being replaced with dainty sheer stockings and liquid leather. Dior and Alexander McQueen give us the illusion of having legs for days in shiny, thigh-high latex versions while Bottega Veneta and Givenchy hit right below the knee.

Caught in the Middle
The new style for boots is not short enough to be called an ankle boot and not long enough to be a knee-high—this boot hits midway or below the calf.
