I Turn to Tory Burch, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue for the Best Spring Shoes

The coolest fashion girls I know are already sporting these mules and spring hasn't even started yet. The pierced toe design and inverted heel are innovative details that made my group chat go crazy when they first saw these flats on Instagram.

These slingbacks have a slightly more formal feel than the mules, but they still have that cool factor Burch has become known for. They come in fun colors too, like this of-the-moment red and an almost-neutral olive beige.

Ballet flats have taken over the fashion set and I'm not mad about it. There's something so classy about the style, especially this pair from Tory Burch with its cap-toe design and tiny bow detail.

If you've somehow managed to go without, classic white sneakers like these will soon be one of your most-worn pairs. They go with quite literally anything in your closet, from dresses and skirts to denim shorts and even leggings. This pair was even dubbed one of Marie Claire's finest work sneakers.

Loafers aren't a particularly new trend, but I have been noticing the fashion crowd preferring more streamlined versions like this over the chunky lug sole styles of the past. These Jessa Loafers have an ultra-luxurious feel, especially considering the golden horsehead hardware.

Strappy sandals are the quintessential summer shoe and Tory Burch has hit the nail on the head with this pair. This luxe woven style makes for the perfect pairing with all of your flowy sundresses and denim shorts.

The added Mary Jane strap may seem like a simple detail, but I think it makes a world of difference in updating a classic ballet flat. Wear this sleek flat to balance out baggy jeans, flowy skirts, and voluminous dresses.

All of the ease of a ballet flat, but with the preppiness of a loafer, these hybrid shoes combine the best of both worlds. They feature an elasticized, slip-on back and a two-tone colorway so you get all of the style and comfort of both shoes.

If you're looking for the most classic, no-frills kind of ballet flat, Sam Edelman's Felicia Flat is about as classic as it gets. Offered in seven different shades and prints, these comfy flats may be simple, but they get the job done.

For spring, I'm anticipating sneakers of all shades to make the rounds so I have my eyes on this red pair. Yes, they feel especially timely with red being the trendiest color right now, but I'd wear these for years to come for a fun pop of color. Keep in mind these are in men's sizes, so you'll have to size down.

If you're wondering about pointed-toe flats not being comfortable, don't be—this pair was quite literally made for walking (hence the name). A flexible knit and padded insole with arch support means you can walk all day long in these without breaking a sweat (or without getting a blister).

Once spring rolls around, you can catch me in my Club Cs on a weekly basis. They are incredibly comfortable, so much so that I can tackle a day full of running around New York in them without any discomfort. The slim retro style is right on track for the year's biggest sneaker trends, too.

Taylor Swift may have singlehandedly revived heeled loafers for 2024, so I'm looking to try the trend myself. My eye is on this Vince Camuto pair, which would add a nice amount of lift to my 5'4" frame.

As someone who can't walk in heels taller than 3 inches, I appreciate the kitten heel trend that is currently emerging. This pair is one I would keep in my day-to-night arsenal for its sleek and versatile style.

Once the weather heats up, the Birkenstocks come out. Year after year, the fashion crowd can't stay away from these sandals because they are just too comfortable. This pair is a fresher take on the style with enlarged gold-toned buckles.

Last fall, Mary Janes were the It-shoe of the season and they've remained super popular ever since. This pump version from Jeffrey Campbell exudes femininity, meaning they would make the perfect pair for all of your frilly dresses and skirts.

Once the weather warms up, I love a woven shoe moment. This pair from Schutz feels especially on point for spring, even more so considering they're a ballet flat, a.k.a. the shoe of the moment.

These needle-sharp mules scream "quiet luxury" to me. They're elegant, and classic, and can be styled in so many different ways. Sure, you can pair these with a dress or skirt for the office, but I love the juxtaposition of wearing them with ultra-baggy jeans.

These loafers may be pricey, but rest assured these are a great investment for your wardrobe. You can rely on them to make any outfit feel instantly elevated and put together. Just take a look at our street-style muse Katie Holmes and her infallible outfit formula and you'll see what we mean.

These designer sneakers are still a major favorite among the fashion crowd and it's easy to see why. They come in a neutral black and beige colorway (plus a ton of other shades) and are made from an ultra-luxe suede.

After seeing Dua Lipa don mesh flats on a casual daytime date, I now want my own pair. This Loeffler Randall pair comes adorned with a little added bling, perfect for upgrading my own jeans-and-a-tee ensembles.

Blame it on my obsession with Daisy Jones & The Six, but I'm fully embracing '70s fashion this season. One way I plan on doing that is with these loafers. With the luxe brown suede and the weave detailing, these are the kind of shoes I would've worn to work back in the disco era.

Even though these shoes came out in 2021, they're still a fan favorite. Coming in a whopping 15 colorways, there's an option that bound to suit your personal taste. They're made all the better than traditional sneakers by using 80 percent less water and 35 percent fewer greenhouse gases.

Lately, heel heights have been skewing lower and lower (a trend I can definitely get behind), so these sleek white mules are on my wishlist. Just imagine how great your pedicure would look in these shoes.
