Now that we’re in 2026, I’ve been thinking about last fall’s shoe trends. There were some really standout styles that manage to balance elegance with practicality—like chunky loafers and sleek ankle boots. I’m curious to see how these trends are holding up this year.
For fellow fans of timeless style, which shoe designs from fall 2025 are you still reaching for? Are there any standout pieces that you feel are still relevant and chic? I’m also on the hunt for budget-friendly options that look high-end. What brands or styles have you come across that fit the bill?
I’ve definitely still got my chunky loafers in rotation. They go with everything, and I’m pretty surprised how versatile they are! For budget-friendly options, I’ve found some great pairs at Zara that look way more expensive than they are.
I’m still rocking my chunky loafers for sure—they’re super comfy and go with everything. I’ve also found some nice ankle boots at a local thrift store that look like they’re straight off the runway. For budget-friendly, try looking at places like ASOS or public shops; they’ve had some great dupes lately!
