The Four Spring Shoe Trends Defining My Wardrobe Right Now
I can't stop wearing them.
Friends! I’m so excited to dig into this week’s topic—something I can’t stop thinking about and, unfortunately, shop, shop, shopping—shoe trends. Similarly to watches, I love to go deep on all things footwear. This week, I’m inspired by something I quite literally have to do, which is make space in my closet (especially in the sneaker department). Ahead, I’m sharing the four categories that are top of mind as I overhaul my personal shoe edit.
Yellow Sneakers
I generally gravitate toward white styles for spring and summer, but there’s something about yellow that’s really calling my name. I imagine wearing them similarly with shirt dresses or black trousers and a white T-shirt. Either way, they’re the ideal summer commuter shoe.
The Sneakerina
I have to credit Vogue for the portmanteau. The sneaker-slash-ballet flat has unexpectedly caught my eye and I’m considering giving it a twirl for spring.
Jelly Sandals
So fun! So silly! So summer. We have to get our kicks where we can, and nothing gives me a little dose of joy like a jelly sandal that reminds me of my childhood.
Strappy Black Sandals
There’s something so sexy about a pared-back black sandal, wouldn’t you agree? Team it with red hot pedicure or, if you’re the type to go against the grain, no polish at all.
Anatomy of an Outfit

MONDAY:
I worked from home, but eventually left my apartment to go to my next door neighbor’s for a glass of wine. The weather is still quite abysmal—cold and rainy—so I went with something warm and cozy.
TUESDAY:
I’m going to need spring to fight back because I’m so sick and tired of this cold weather! *Tantrum over*
WEDNESDAY:
Spring is still not in session, so my go-to fall coat is back in full effect for a day at the office. Very annoying!
THURSDAY:
At last, we’ve topped 45 degrees, so it’s back to light layers for a few market appointments and meetings in the office.
