Shoe Trends-to-Know 2017

Twice a year the fashion industry gathers in Las Vegas for MAGIC.   Smart guests of the event, also attend FN PLATFORM to learn about Luxury to Lifestyle Branded Footwear for Men, Women, Juniors, and Children.  The next event is in Las Vegas February 21-23, 2017.

Season after season, President of Footwear at UBM and footwear industry vet, Leslie Gallin, shares her favorite trends in the pipeline. This year is no different! 
Shoe Trends-to-Know 2017
We recently learned from the shoe guru about what we can expect to see in stores in the coming months and which styles she’s loving in particular. 

MULES + SLIDES

Cool girls everywhere have adopted the mule trend. The slip and go style offers a sense of effortlessness. Worn in flats or heels, closed or open toes – this go-to style can easily be worn from day-to-night and transcend from spring/summer through the fall. 

DETAILS: FUR TRIM, FEATHERS AND PEARLS

There’s an eye for the details in the coming seasons. Everything from fur-trimmed looks to feather and pearl accents. These statement-making frills call for a bold take on classic silhouettes.  

KITTEN HEELS

The newest ‘it’ style, our grandmother’s favorite heel has made a comeback! Understated yet chic, the kitten heel offers a sense of sophistication (think classic old-school pumps) without sacrificing wearability. 

SNEAKERS

If there’s one shoe silhouette that’s reigned supreme the past few seasons, it’s the sneaker style. Typically seen in an all-white colorway, the look is still dominating. From low to high tops, slip on to lace ups, this comfort staple is here to stay. 

BOOTIES

Now a classic, booties are still holding strong. A style that easily transcends through the seasons, booties are here to stay. From flats to heels, open toes to lace-up’s – there’s a bootie look for everyone.
