Fall Essentials: The Five Shoes You Must Have

Each season, I try to prioritize essentials for the upcoming months (so as not to go wild and get five of each!). For fall, it’s all about flash and function – a burst of metallic via party-ready sandals, as well as flats and galoshes for those cold, rainy days when a black and white calf hair pump wouldn’t be able to hack it. What are your fall must-haves?

Statement Boots
Sergio Rossi Ankle Boots: These winged boots are made for a goddess. The pink suede curves around the ankle beautifully, adding a feminine touch to autumn’s requisite black booties. On shoescribe.com for $1,170.

Black & White
Oscar de la Renta Stacy Striped Calf Hair Pumps: Black and white shoes go with everything, but in boldly striped calf hair, they feel far from basic. On MATCHESFASHION.com for $765.

Gold
Tamara Mellon Sandals: Gold is an obvious choice. It’s party season after all, and with these multi-strap sandals, you’ll feel secure as you dance your way through to the holidays. On shoescribe.com for $1,150.

Flats
Balenciaga Leather and Felt Loafers: If you must go flat, make sure it’s in something interesting. Why not have fun with this season’s felt trend? On MATCHESFASHION.com for $795.

Galoshes
Le Chameau Alezan Leather-Lined Rubber Riding Boots: Somehow Kate Middleton wore these and they’re not completely sold out. They are the top selling galoshes on the planet, though, and with the sleek, smart design, they’re easy to fit into any wardrobe – royal or otherwise. On NET-A-PORTER for $500.
