Shoes are a great way for people to express their personality in their outfit. There is a large selection of styles with each one having their unique looks. Every year there are more styles created and certain ones that are more popular than others. This year’s showstopping trends include leather loafers, platform sneakers, and boots and pumps with chain details, among others:

1. Chain detail pumps
A chain is a great way to add a bit of style and elegance to a simple pump. Most pumps are rather plain in design, and a chain is a nice way to add another dimension to the shoes. It also adds a new and unique texture that is not usually found on a pump. There are of course different types of chains that can be used, such as different link sizes and different colors. The gold chain adds some nice elegance to a simple black pump while silver can add some sass.

2. Croc-effect leather loafers
Leather shoes have always been used by people to give their outfit a more refined and professional look. Leather has a very clean yet detailed look that goes well with a wide selection of outfits. One of the most popular styles of leather loafers as of right now are ones with crocodile textured leather. They are worn by simply sliding the foot slide into the shoe. They are sometimes embellished with buckles for added texture and design. That does not mean all of them have the extra flair.

3. Mary Jane-Style shoes
Mary Janes have been around for a long time and never seem to fully all out of fashion. They have become less popular on occasion, but they always quickly become popular again. These shoes can be used for going to a simple occasion but also to something more high end that requires elegance. They are a shiny shoe, which means some people only like to wear them with certain kinds of outfits. They can be gotten in black or a simple color that is not bold and flashy, meaning they are always simple.

4. Espadrille sandals
This style of sandal is often seen worn by people who are into the Bohemian style. This is because the base of the sandals is wrapped in hemp, sometimes in design and sometimes not. This gives the sandals a whole new texture and look. The straps on the sandals are always done in a matte finished color. This helps to add to the Bohemian style because Bohemian is all about nature and soft colors. Most of the sandals are usually found in nude tones, but can also be found in other muted tones.

5. Platform sneakers
These sneakers are a newer design style that has slowly risen to popularity. The thing that makes these sneakers stand out is the fact that the sole is thicker than others. Now, sometimes these sneakers hide the extra height inside the design of the shoe and make the sole look like the normal size. This is not always true though because the average sneaker has an exaggerated sole to make them stand out. This is a quickly growing trend, especially by people wanting to have a playful look or look like a worker.
