The 10 Best Shoes For Spring

I can finally begin to put my boots away and pull out all my favorite spring shoe styles! These are styles that will take me all the way through summer and into fall. Most of the spring shoes I have in my closet are all neutral tones so they easily go with a variety of looks. While I do have some black sandals that I wear during the warmer months, most of the shoes I reach for are more white, cream and varying shades of brown. I also LOVE clear shoes for the warmer months. I have been wearing clear shoes for years and always recommend them because they can look great with literally any outfit. There is no competing color on the shoe so they automatically work with the look. And they also make my legs look so much longer!

Here’s a roundup of 10 shoes I will be wearing this spring.

10 Best Shoes For Spring

Sneakers

New Balance 327 Sneakers | Best Shoes For Spring

New Balance 327 Sneakers

With my athleisure looks, I like a more athletic sneaker style but many of them look too much like workout sneakers. I want something that looks more like a lifestyle sneaker and can worn various ways. The New Balance 327 sneakers are super popular and while many people may be over the trend, I still find these to be one of my favorite sneakers to wear. The pointy toe and slightly angular shape is so flattering. I also find these look so chic with trousers for a more business casual outfit.

Veja White Sneakers | Best Shoes For Spring

Veja White Sneakers (similar)

Obviously there are a ton of white sneaker options out there, but I have always liked the sleek look of Vejas. These are the sneakers I wear when I want something low profile, subtle and slightly dressier. This exact style of Veja sneakers are discontinued but there are a TON of similar options from them. When you are looking for a simple white sneaker style to wear in the spring and summer, choose something that has very little detail and stops well below the ankle. I don’t recommend any high tops or sneakers with a higher profile as they will look too chunky on the leg.

Pointy Toe Mules

Amazon Suede Mules

Amazon Suede Mules

I included these in my spring shoe edit but honestly, I wear these suede mules all four seasons of the year. They come in a ton of colors but I love this rich brown because they look great with almost any outfit. The subtle kitten heel makes them so comfortable but since they are a mule, they are perfect for wearing during the warmer months especially if you don’t want an open toe style. These are the must have shoe for work and can look great with trousers/jeans or dresses/skirts.

Ballet Flats

Dolce Vita Mesh Ballet Flats

Dolce Vita Mesh Ballet Flats

These mesh flats are a bit more trendy than many of the other styles I have shared but I absolutely LOVE them. I am really into the mesh shoe trend at the moment and think they are a fun way to add texture into an outfit. The overall fit and look of them are that of a classic ballet flat but the mesh fabric gives them a more unique look. And especially in the warmer weather, the mesh will be a bit more breathable.

Jeffrey Campbell Two Tone Ballet Flats

Jeffrey Campbell Two Tone Ballet Flats

As you can see I styled these flats with a winter to spring transition look, but I can’t wait to wear them all spring and summer long. They obviously are made to look like the Chanel ballet flats that have been iconic for decades but at a much more palatable price point. You might think the two tone color blocking could make them a bit difficult to style but honestly they look great with any outfit you would normally wear with black flats OR with nude flats. For that reason, they have an endless number of outfit possibilities.

Neutral Sandals

Neutral Sandals

Jeffrey Campbell Fluxx Sandals

Sandals are a must for spring and moving into summer and these Jeffrey Campbell sandals have been a staple in my closet for nearly 3 years. They are super flattering on the foot and can be dressed up or down. They come in a variety of colors but this light tan is the most versatile in my opinion. Normally I am someone who prefers a pointy toe over a round or square toe, but these sandals are one of the few exceptions in my closet. There is a strap that wraps around the ankle but because the strap sits lower on the ankle, it doesn’t cut off the leg and actually gives a more lengthening effect.

Schutz Victorie Clear Sandals Best Shoes For Spring

Schutz Victorie Clear Sandals

If there is one shoe that will be the MOST versatile in your closet, it is a clear sandal. I specifically love the Schutz ones and have both a low block heel style and a high stiletto heel style. I think when clear shoes first starting becoming popular, people were unsure exactly how it would look when you couldn’t see any top portion of the shoe. Would the foot look like it was floating? Can clear shoes be chic? There are so many amazing styles available now that put all these concerns to rest. I absolutely love clear shoes and recommend them every single spring and summer.

Tony Bianco Caprice Sandals

Tony Bianco Caprice Sandals

These were a shoe that I was finally able to snag because they always sell out so quickly and their versatility is unmatched. They come in a bunch of colors and are perfect to wear with all spring and summer looks. Because they are such a simple style, they can easily be dressed up or down.

Neutral Heels

Dolce Vita Suede Heels | Best Shoes For Spring

Dolce Vita Suede Heels

A simple neutral pointy toe heel will always be in style and always be a good choice to wear throughout spring and into summer. I love the very pale beige shade of these Dolce Vita heels. They are higher than most of the other options I have shared so if you want a medium heel height, these are the ones to go with. The pointy toe is my preferred toe shape for heels and the slight ruching detail gives them a little something extra.

Clear Heels

Schutz Ariella Heels

Schutz Ariella Heels

These are the first clear heels I purchased a few years ago and they are still my MOST worn spring and summer sandal by far. They are the most flattering style and at a really reasonable price point. I am actually considering getting a backup pair because I wear these so much. They are a high heel so they are definitely a dressier style but can be worn with jeans too. Whenever I get questions about what to wear to a spring or summer wedding, these shoes are ALWAYS the first thing I recommend. They look so beautiful on the foot and allow the whatever dress you choose to really stand out. Also if you are planning any warm weather vacations, these shoes are the best to bring because they will go with every outfit you pack.

Neutral Loafers

Neutral Loafers

Larroude Katherine Loafers

A pair of neutral loafers are a year round staple but they are especially perfect for spring. I love the gold bar detail on these that make them a bit more interesting and the comfort level is 10/10.

Neutral Pointy Toe Flats

Margaux The Pointe Flats

I was new to this brand but soon fell in love with their shoes after trying this pair of pointy toe flats. They have the most inclusive sizing I have ever seen and offer different widths for every style. My shoe size is pretty common but if you struggle with finding shoes in your size, this is the brand to go to! They make so many gorgeous options in every size imaginable!

Spring Shoe Edit

Spring Shoe Edit

Dolce Vita Raffia Ballet Flats

I love the mixture of the raffia with the pearl embellishments on these flats! Perfect to wear with a chic midi dress or maxi skirt.

Loeffler Randall Two-Band Sandal

I was never a birkenstock type sandal fan but I have since changed my mind in favor of the comfort of these types of sandals. LOL And if I am going to choose comfort, then I at least want the sandals to be CUTE!

Margaux NY Demi Jane Flats

Classic and timeless. These mary jane flats with the two tone colorway will be a shoe that you can wear for the next 10+ years.

Margaux NY Demi Jane Flats in Saddle Woven Leather

I love the mesh trend that became popular last year but if you aren’t totally sold on a mesh fabric, this perforated woven leather gives a similar vibe while still being a tad less trendy.

Emme Parsons Simple Wedge Sandal

A bit of a splurge but these are absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking to build a wardrobe of classics and timeless pieces, these are the kind of sandals to add to your collection.

Loeffler Randall Mid-Heel Sandal

I will forever love a strappy sandal and these are so dainty looking. The added silver detail makes them a bit dressier and would be a great wedding guest shoe for spring and summer.

Larroude Franca Pump

Give me all the pointy toe kitten heel pumps! I have so many in my closet and wear them non-stop in the spring. I love the raffia and leather combination on these in particular.

Larroude Stella Sneaker

Even though I have a large collection of flats in my closet, I still need a chic lifestyle sneaker to wear for certain occasions. I love this new style from Larroude and the color options are all so beautiful.

Soludos Original Espadrille (discount code: MAREE20)

Soludos are the original espadrille maker and are a staple in the warmer weather. They come in every color imaginable but I love this red/white striped option for the spring.

Freda Salvador Square Toe Ballet Flat

Metallics are a neutral! If you are nervous to wear metallic accessories, think of styling them the same way you would a pair of white, black or neutral toned shoes. They are actually incredibly versatile and also add a bit of polish to a casual look.

Soludos Wedge Espadrille (discount code: MAREE20)

Wedge espadrilles with a flowy midi dress is so quintessential spring/summer, amiright? Just add a huge straw tote and big sunglasses and I immediately want to go frolicking in a field. LOL But seriously, a wedge espadrille is a comfy way to add some height without sacrificing comfort too.

Emme Parsons String Sandal

This is a newer brand that I recently discovered and the styles are all so chic and timeless. Strappy black flat sandals will never go out of style.

Casual Spring Outfit Ideas

| ,

Casual Spring Outfit IdeasIt’s still a bit cold here but I’m already focused on putting together tons of outfits for spring. I love to start planning my seasonal wardrobe a month or so in advance and decide what I want to add to it and how I can create as many looks as possible. Updating your spring wardrobe is a great way to welcome the warmer weather. Be sure to consider any special events coming up during that season to see if you can rewear any of your current pieces or if you should begin looking for something now. Having a classic flattering wrap dress or simple sheath dress is always a good choice.

Shopping early and before a season actually begins ensures you can find what you need before things begin to sell out. Decide if you have good outerwear as well because spring weather can be so unpredictable. Layering is key so lightweight jackets and cardigans are always a good to have for spring. Here is a round-up of some casual spring outfits to give you styling ideas of what to wear throughout the spring season.

10 Casual Spring Outfit Ideas

Cropped Tee and Wide Leg Jeans

Casual Spring Outfit IdeasTop (similar) | Jeans (similar) | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses

Spring isn’t yet the time for wearing sleeveless or even short sleeves all the time so grab a few long sleeve tees to wear with your jeans. Wide leg jeans are still trending so they would be a great option to style with it.

Slip Skirt and a Tee

Slip Skirt and a TeeTee | Cardigan | Skirt (similar) | Shoes | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

Spring is always cool in the morning and sometimes by midday is scorching so layers are key. Wear your cardigan in the morning but then drape it over your shoulders by the afternoon. A slip skirt is a year round essential but if it has been way to cold to wear it during the winter, spring is the perfect time to pull them back out. I also love pleated midi skirts as another option if a slip skirt is not your preference.

Floral Blouse and Jeans

Floral Blouse and JeansBlouse (discount code: MAREE15) | Jeans | Shoes| Bag | Sunglasses

Florals for spring is nothing new and always a safe bet (either floral blouses or floral dresses). I love a peasant style blouse for the billowy and delicate style. And then when the summer comes, you can style this type of blouse with denim shorts and sandals. Because the blouse is so flowy, I like it worn with a slimmer style of denim to balance out the proportions. Also, if you have not yet purchase a nude mule or flat for your spring wardrobe, I highly recommend. Not only are they incredibly lengthening and flattering on the legs, but they will go with almost any outfit you can put together.

Cardigan with Jeans

Cardigan with Jeans | Casual Spring Outfit IdeasCardigan | Jeans | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses

I love the lady jacket/cardigan style that is everywhere right now (and has been for the past year). It’s a slightly boxier fit so I love wearing it buttoned up as a sweater or open with a camisole underneath as a true cardigan. If you are in need a good classic pair of straight leg jeans, this pair is absolutely stunning! No distressing, classic color, high waisted fit and an overall classic shape.

Blazer and Wide Leg Jeans

Blazer | Shirt | Jeans | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses

Blazer and Wide Leg JeansTaupe Blazer | Tee | Jeans | Shoes | Bag | Belt | Sunglasses | Necklace (code: MAREE20)

Nothing looks crisper or more spring chic than a fresh neutral blazer! You can style it so many ways but I personally love to keep it simple with a fitted white tee and denim. If you want to branch out a bit and keep things on trend for spring, opt for a wide leg denim style. I love the light wash of these because they pair so well with neutrals and will look great all throughout summer and into fall.

Short Sleeve Sweater

Short Sleeve Sweater | Casual Spring Outfit IdeasSweater | Jeans | Belt | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses

Once again, that odd item of clothing that seems not to make any sense – a short sleeve sweater. And there is no better time to wear it than spring!! It’s still heavy enough in case it’s a bit chilly in the morning but the short sleeves allow for some ventilation. Ha! I would also love this look worn into fall because of the neutral accessories. Another great item to pair with this short sleeve sweater would be some linen pants! The combination of different textures would be perfection.

Striped Top and White Jeans

Striped Top and White JeansSweater | Jeans | Shoes | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

This is probably one of my most favorite looks I’ve put together in a long time. It’s timeless, ageless and so chic. If you plan to be doing any traveling this spring, a look like this is exactly what you need. You can dress up a simple striped sweater and white jeans with heels and a clutch for dinner out or wear this sightseeing with flats and a crossbody bag. Adding a denim jacket or blazer is another great styling option if you need an outerwear piece if it gets chilly.

Trench Coat and Ballet Flats

Trench Coat and Ballet FlatsTrench (similar) | Tee (similar) | Jeans | Shoes | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

A trench coat is a closet must have and I get the most use out of mine during spring and fall. A crisp trench coat with dark denim is always a great outfit choice but to add some interest into the outfit, opt for a colorful pair of ballet flats.

Button Down Shirt and Wide Leg Jeans

Button Down Shirt and Wide Leg JeansShirt | Jeans | Shoes | Bag (discount code: MAREE15) | Sunglasses

Another outfit that works nearly all year round but is especially chic during early spring. I have a few striped button down shirts and style them with different trousers and jeans. Wide leg jeans are still very popular so this is a great business casual look to wear to work or even on the weekends.

Lightweight Sweater and White Jeans

Lightweight Sweater and White JeansSweater | Jeans | Sandals | Belt | Sunglasses | Bag | Necklace

I love spring because I can finally show off all my sweaters and shirts again without having to cover them with a coat. LOL A lightweight cashmere sweater styled with jeans is a look that would work all year round but add some strappy sandals to make the look perfect for spring and the warmer weather.
