12 Transitional Shoes We’re Wearing This Season (And Beyond)
In Partnership With Steve Madden
With summer now behind us and autumn fast approaching, we’re officially entering transitional wardrobe season. Whether you’re looking at new trend pieces to update your outfits or rediscovering our favourite pair of jeans, we’re embracing the cooler weather staples. Of course, no outfit is complete without shoes to pull it all together. So, to that end, we’ve rounded up our favourite transitional shoes, courtesy of Steve Madden.

Ballet flats
The 2000s shoe du jour is back with a vengeance this autumn and we’re definitely on board. While classic colourways such as black and neutral are versatile favourites, eye-catching details and textured finishes offer a fresh new spin on the look.
Statement shoes are gaining momentum in the fashion set, making them an instant way to elevate a monochromatic outfit. Alternatively, if you’re after a ballerina shoe that can take you from day to night, you can’t go wrong with an embellished pearl or silver design.

Preppy loafers
Hailey Bieber is one of the biggest fans of high-shine loafers, pairing them with everything from pleated mini skirts to baggy jeans and, well, can you blame her?
The humble loafer pairs perfectly with Autumnal mainstays such as boxy blazers and oversized shirts, adding a touch of understated chic.

Party shoes
When it comes to going out out, your shoes are one of the most important outfit details. ‘Jeans and a nice top’ is a fail-safe option regardless of the season… and you can easily up the ante even more by finishing with a pair of pointed pumps.
This Autumn, we’re opting for either twinkly details set against deep wine tones or noughties-inspired heels we can imagine Rachel Green wearing to her job as a buyer at Ralph Lauren.

Heeled boots
Last, but certainly not least, is the quiet luxury-esque shoe. Arguably the hardest working item in your transitional shoe-drobe, an expensive-looking pair of boots will be something you consistently reach for.
Style yours with denim midi skirts, knitted dresses, or poking out from underneath a pair of tailored trousers.
