When experimenting with one's personal style — or perhaps even just when leaning in— there is simply no better choice avenue to do so than with accessories. In particular, shoes do the trick quite effectively.
Footwear is more than just a necessity; it's also a reflection of personality, style, and our ever-evolving culture. From the everyday comfort of sneakers that are pushed to higher levels with a hightop ankle, to the polished elegance of embellished evening shoes, footwear has the power to transform any outfit. Whether you're slipping on a pair of boots to brave the elements or switching up your material to exotics to elevate your look, shoes are often the finishing touch that pulls everything together. Below, we've rounded up the biggest footwear trends to keep tabs on this season; reflecting a blend of functional, bold, and artistic choices for every occasion.
The Climb
While a visit to a National Park is not on everyone's repertoire, achieving the look is just as simple as a new pair of hikers. With their colored laces and treaded soles, these alpine inspired boots are just as weather-proof as they are sophisticated.

Wallabee Blue Suede Chunky Boot
Vicky Boots
Sleek & Sporty
We never thought we'd say that Hulk Hogan and The Rock were our outfit inspiration, but this season the likes of Loewe's Jonathan Anderson and Chloé's Chemena Kamali turned their sights to the elevated wrestling shoes. We're taking things to the mats with a new pair of high-top sneakers to complete our sporty looks.

Evening Embellishments
Here at T&C, we're known for our jewelry savvy, but we seldom find our feet clad in gemstones. Bring evening wear to the every day with an embellished shoe to elevate your classics: from the LBD to blue jeans and blazers.
Sparkle Stretch Sandal
Teardrop Crystal Mule
Nari Crystal Boots
Snakeskin
A walk on the wild side is always a good time, especially when it comes with a dose of exotic footwear. Whether you're heading out to run errands, going to work, or having girls night out, consider adding a touch of snakeskin for an extra edge in your every day.

Eva Snake-Effect Pumps
Lace Up
If athletics aren't your forte, there's still a way to infuse your look with a bit of "athletic aesthete." As she always does, Miuccia Prada put the elevated chic back into a rather casual look. Taking from the jocks, laces are added to classic flats and block heels to create a dichotomous style.

Clogs
Originating as a Dutch staple to keep feet dry and protected in wet conditions, the clog has evolved over many centuries into a bohemian staple. A first boom in the 60s and 70s, then again in the 90s with the rise of Crocs, offering a more ergonomic and lighter way to wear this shoe style. We'll spare you on the Croc craze, but there's no denying the longevity of the clog. Looking at today, the likes of Hermès, Miu Miu, Ulla Johnson, and many others are leaning into the comfortable and relaxed style of clogs for the spring.
