as the leaves fall and the weather cools down, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with the most on-trend shoes for autumn 2025. from street style to runway, this season’s top picks blend comfort, style, and timeless elegance — perfect for elevating your look during the colder months.
printed shoes are leading the way this fall, especially animal prints like cow print, snake print, and leopard print. these chic print shoes instantly upgrade any outfit and are trending across social media platforms.
for a more classic and polished vibe, suede loafers and sneakers are back in full force. expect earthy tones, soft textures, and details like accent stitching or boat shoe silhouettes that work effortlessly with everything from denim to tailored pieces. they’re wearable year-round, but truly shine during the transitional months, bringing a back-to-school feel that always resonates in september. the perfect in-between shoes for unpredictable weather and shifting wardrobes.
boots, of course, are a fall essential. this year, knee-high boots — especially riding boots and heeled knee-high styles — are making a major comeback. structured and equestrian-inspired, they’re ideal for day-to-night styling.
