So the hot summer weather has its sweaty grip on you and you’re ready to strip your closet down as much as yourself — but tomorrow may be an entirely different story. Depending on where you live, you likely endure the seasonal shift at a slow pace and in unpredictable spurts. Luckily, you can shift your wardrobe at the same pace as the weather and be ready for unpredictable weather periods if you’re prepared. Colors, fabrics and layers will be important when it comes to transitioning your wardrobe, but simply swapping your shoes will be the key.
So from washable shoes for women in the springtime to soft-lined shoes for women in the winter, we know what it takes to go from season to season, and what it takes to survive every weird weather day in between.
Spring
Spring calls for styles that are light or bright in color, boast fun features like cutouts or peep toes, give you good grip and, if you want to be proactive and protect those pretty pastels from the staining of springtime mud, something that’s washable. In terms of both function and fashion, options like the ones below will bridge the gap between winter and spring as well as carry you through spring!
- Bridge-gapping boots will help you showcase the season — even before the season has fully started showcasing itself and it’s still cold out. From lighter-toned leathers with cutouts to your lower-rise rubbers in bright colors (listed below in winter), there are a ton of transition boots that can help you easily achieve an instant and awesome spring style.
- Fresh and fun heels are essential in flirty spring ensembles — so do yourself a favor and ensure you have at least one pair to transform any outfit into a perfect and playful springtime success. Fun features for springtime heels can include cutouts, peep-toes, popping or pastel colors and even pretty patterns.
Our favorite transition shoe to take you into summer is a pastel platform sandal, which (along with being adorable and suiting both spring and summer styles) will be a godsend on sunny spring days when the weather feels more like you’re coming into summer than stepping away from winter.
Summer
Heavy shoes are sure to hurt the harmony of your airy outfit come summertime, so if you haven’t already, it’s time to pack up the rest of your springtime booties and shoes with heavy bases or materials. Aim for styles that add harmony to your outfits and let your feet breathe like straps, open backs, thin materials, light soles, fun patterns and bright or light colors. So along with your heels and platform sandals from above, bridge the gap between spring and summer (and take yourself all the way through summer) with:
- Life-saving slip-on sneakers have always been a crowd favorite and, as such, are offered in every color, pattern and print under the sun — even cute little suns themselves, which would be perfect for summer! When the refreshing springtime air is still lingering around, when the air cools off in the evening after a long hot summer day or when you have an active day ahead and need appropriate footwear, you’ll be especially glad to have these.
- Summer fun sandals or flip-flops are an important, easy-to-find and affordable summer wardrobe staple. Aside from keeping them flat if your idea of fun demands it, the features that your summer fun sandals could flaunt are endless. From ankle straps to squared-off soles, comfortable sandals for women exist in every style under the sun so that you can exist in any style when you’re in the sun.
Our favorite transition shoes to take you into fall are any open-toed, high-heeled, backless clogs, mules or slides. These are easily combined with summer and fall outfits alike to create an array of different aesthetics — all of which are amazing. A shoe style like this will be a super stylish one-step solution when it comes to stepping into the next season in style.
Autumn
Ideally, come fall, you’ll want to aim for hardy styles — whether that be through hardy materials like leather and suede, thick soles and bases, heavy stitching or plush lining. Combined with this, you’ll want to look for deep, dark and warm colors to complement the season. Along with your slip-on sneakers and open-toed, high-heeled, backless clogs, mules or slides from above, options like the ones below will bridge the gap between summer and autumn.
- Closed-toe clogs and mules, whether they be flat for function or heeled for fashion, are essential when it comes to nailing the autumn aesthetic and instantly turning up the appeal of any ensemble. And while a sleek black leather or light brown suede pair will be perfectly matched with anything your closet has to throw at them, this is a style that can be found with features from beautiful boho embroidery to elegant jewel embellishments. As if all that wasn’t enough, come fall, clogs and mules can even be found with warm, soft and wonderful lining.
- Tall rain boots are an absolute essential when it comes to notoriously wet transition seasons like spring and fall. And unlike your dad’s clunky rubber boots that you may remember from childhood or your grandfather’s galoshes, modern rain boots boast an array of style options that have helped them become an absolute staple in everyday autumn outfits. Along with their function, taller rain boots are perfect for fall, thanks to how well they pair with a set of chunky knit boot toppers.
Our favorite transition shoes to take you into winter are a stylish set of high-heel ankle booties. Finding cute ankle boots in subtle styles (think basic neutral colors, quality materials and casual heel heights) that feature good grip can take you from fall to the start of spring, so embrace simplicity!
Winter
Whether it be for style’s sake or for the sake of surviving the season’s cold weather, winter will always warrant something a little warmer, heavier, closed and deeply colored. So along with your lined clogs and mules and your versatile boots from above, bridge the gap between fall and winter (and take yourself through winter) with:
-
- Fashionable flats or loafers made from leather or suede, in a cool winter tone or basic neutral color, will accent any outfit and take you to any event or location — even if it means wearing your boots to account for the snowy winter commute and slipping into your flats or loafers once you get there. With snowy winter commutes considered, flats and loafers become one of our top picks, thanks to just how easy they are to carry in your bag. As with the clogs and mules listed above, flats and loafers with warm, soft and wonderful lining can be found easily come fall and winter.
- Subtle but stylish snow boots could look very different to various people, depending on their style. But no matter what your preferences, it’s imperative that you find your snow boots stylish enough that you WANT to wear them and subtle enough that you CAN wear them with any outfit; otherwise, you will likely suffer with cold and wet feet often. Aside from this, be sure to look for features like waterproof materials, good grip, comfortable lining and an adjustable or appropriate width of the opening for your calf or thigh.
Our favorite transition shoes to take you into spring are low-rise rain boots in bright colors! Aim for short styles that are sleeker to avoid a clunky winter boot feeling. When picking the perfect bright color, consider your winter and spring outfits alike. The second the snow starts to melt, these boots will become your best friend!
Shifting Seasons in Style
Even with clothes considered, shoes are still the most simple way to transition your wardrobe from season to season and survive every sudden weather change along the way. So whether it be for the sake of the seasonal weather or the sake of seasonal styles, we’re happy to say that shoe shopping is the key.
