Hi fashionistas!

Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to talk spring footwear. There are a lot of great spring shoe options, but sometimes it is hard to know when to wear which shoe. Here is my spring shoe guide and some outfit suggestions to create a stylish and cohesive spring look! 

Sperrys

Sperrys are a great option for spring shoe styles. They are classic, nautical and versatile. Check out all of the color options to find the pair that is the most practical for you! Take a peek at the Sperry website to find the perfect pair. Any style you choose will end up looking great with these outfit pairings:

  • Striped dress + denim vest
  • Colorful pair of shorts + Chambray shirt
  • Cuffed jeans + button-up

Moccasins

Not only are moccasins comfortable, but they also give off a boho chic vibe! Play around with different moccasin styles found on the Minnetonka Moccasins website – they have a wide variety of styles to fit any fashionista’s needs. Try moccasins with any of these outfit options:

  • Denim shorts + graphic/concert tee
  • Wide-leg jeans + floral top
  • White jeans + jean jacket

TOMS

When you buy TOMS, not only do you get the benefit of looking stylish, but you also do something helpful for those less fortunate! Besides, TOMS come in so many varieties, it is hard to choose just one! Check out the TOMS website to browse your options! Here are some outfit ideas to wear with your TOMS:

  • Cuffed jeans + white tee (with the classic style)
  • Sundress + jean jacket (with the wedge style)

Ballet Flats

Ballet flats are the perfect spring shoe option for the transition weather – too cold to wear sandals, but too warm for ankle boots. Flats – like the other shoe options – come in a variety of colors, patterns and shapes. Find the pair that suits you best! (p.s. Flats will come in handy for any job interviews or internships this spring!) Pair your flats with any of these outfit options: 

  • Pencil skirt + tank and blazer
  • Cropped jeans + button-up
  • Patterned pants + jean jacket

Wedges

Wedge sandals are a great option for spring. They are chic, stylish and versatile. Wedges tend to fall on the fancier side of footwear, but they look adorable with a wide variety of outfits. Try any of these options:

  • Sundress + chambray shirt
  • Floral skirt + jean jacket
  • Colored jeans + white blouse

Birkenstocks

Every day in the spring, you are bound to see an Ole wearing Birks. Birks are laid-back and classic. They are easy to wear and stylish. Find all of the Birkenstock style options on their website. Try wearing your Birks with any of these fashion pairings: 

  • Jean shorts + concert tee
  • Rolled jeans + crochet top
  • Jean skirt + floral top

When creating an outfit, shoes are just as important as any other piece! Spring is a great time to show off your shoes! I hope you were inspired by these shoe ideas and outfit pairings!

Stay fashionable, Oles!
