15 Spring Shoes We Want Right Now
ESPADRILLES
No shoe screams spring quite like a pair of espadrilles. For 2019, the classic style is elevated by the addition of a wedge and tie-up detailing. We love this style for it’s fun and feminine flare. These brown wedges ($79.95) are a fantastic addition to your warm-weather wear as they can be easily styled for work, play and anywhere in between. The striped flats ($64.96) with a tie-up detail are ideal for walking the boardwalk at the beach or exploring your local beach town. And, these darling laced espadrilles ($130) with a comfortable heel height and trendy tie detail are the soon-to-be shoe of the season!

SLIDES
Slides have been the fashionista’s warm-weather shoe of choice for a few seasons now and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. The trick to rocking this trend is opting for a more polished style. That way, you won’t feel like you’re pairing a cute spring outfit with a pair of house slippers. These three options do just that while nodding to the season’s bright shades and beachy days. These woven brown slides ($59.95) are a fantastic everyday choice, while these leopard print slides ($100) are a fun and trendy way to incorporate 2019’s hottest print into your wardrobe. And these criss-cross slides ($98), with a funky and vibrant ring detail, could not be more spring break-appropriate.

The blue and white espadrille sneakers ($65) are sweet and girly, while the rose gold platform sneakers ($89.95) bring some statement metallic to the table.

HEELED SANDALS

They’re easy to wear, more comfortable than winter pumps, and they look oh-so-adorable when paired with a sundress or some fun shorts. Here are three styles we want right now. These blue fringed, heeled sandals ($89.95) are a great style to have on hand for nights out during spring and summer as are these orange block heels.
