A light colored sneaker stands out in a good way, and it really compliments your outfit. A white sneaker also screams fun and light-hearted. Just watch out for those puddles.

We’ve all tied our laces this way. And really, there’s nothing wrong with it but you have to admit, it does look a little sloppy and even old fashioned. Plus we’re not in elementary anymore.

If you want a cleaner, more stylish look, tie those laces inside. Literally tuck them in. There are many different ways to do it but the idea is the same. Look at the difference when they’re laced inside.

The problem with this look is that it makes your feet look big, almost clown-ish. And that just doesn’t look very ladylike.

Those chunky boots will go with chunky pants. But do wear a tighter top so you won’t look chunky from head to toe. It’s a bit like those tough lady characters in films. Strong and sexy.

Or you could just wear those jeans directly over those chunky boots. It looks really good and maybe you could start this new look for yourself in the coming year. Less drama, more casual.

They may feel comfortable and make you feel confident but these wide ankle boots don’t really do anything for you in terms of style. They tend to look a bit clumsy since it makes the wearer look like they have wide feet.

A boot with a skinnier ankle elongates your legs and makes you look so much slimmer especially when worn with the right pair of pants. Plus it goes with many more styles.

Some hate suede since they do need extra TLC, while others wear suede in all four seasons until they wear out. So they throw them away and just buy a new pair. There are specific products dedicated to protecting a suede finish though, and they are worth the investment.

Sheepskin wool inserts. Because having cold feet is not cool (kidding). Those wool inserts are warm and super comfortable, and having relaxed feet makes them look better for longer. Put them in boots to help keep your feet warm all the time.

These have become quite popular since they can go with pretty much anything you wear. And they’re not really bad but they didn’t exactly make a lot of noise so you can ditch those strappy heels now.

These ankle lace up heels are super feminine and sexy, and are definitely what’s trendy. Not to mention that the design just accentuates your ankles and legs. And yes, they are pretty comfortable.

These cork and leather wedges enjoyed a pretty strong following but just like that, they’re now being pushed into the back of shoe racks. The bulky design just did not age well.

Now these look similar but not as boxy or bulky. Comfortable for summer and spring, these work well with a nice dress or a good pair of jeans. And yes, your legs will look much longer.

Plain, boring, easy to wear and all, but they really don’t stand out which means they won’t be remembered as much.

Now if you want easy slip on type sandals, these woven slides are the way to go. They are much dressier and will surely gain more attention from friends and strangers alike. Plus they’ll go with any outfit.

Here’s the masculine option being that they’re chunkier and darker. If you think you’ll be doing a lot more walking, hitting up the supermarket or going for a stroll with the dog, then these are a great option.

Not even beach goers rock these anymore. They came in a variety of colors but not even that was enough for these flip flops to stay trendy. Maybe a pair at home will do since they can be practical.

Now these can be worn to the mall, the beach, for errands, and even lunch with friends. They’re made from rubber and so are super comfy and easy to clean. Your feet will love a pair.

These pillow slides are super soft and comfortable as well and are a much better option to flip flops. Super cute to pair with shorts or jeans for those quick meet ups with the gang.

Now these basic sneakers aren’t that bad since they are practical and comfortable. It’s like they’re just there, not totally in but not totally out either. Maybe that’s why they’re “basic.”

If you want to go for sneakers, grab a pair of these retro style ones. They are all the rage now, with that retro look surprisingly going well with different outfits. Plus they come in different colors.

Okay so these types of boots are okay, even cute, but times are changing with these styles slowly getting outdated. How many people have you seen wearing these lately? There you go.

Western style cowboy boots are making a comeback. The secret is to get them in the right color. But they will go with a shorter dress perfect for a quirky function so it’s a great idea to have a pair just in case.

Classic loafers don’t seem to go away in terms of fashion trends but they can get a little dated so give them a rest and put them in the closet for awhile.

Yes, chunky loafers are a thing, and are currently the in thing to have, since they give some height while not being high heels. They are comfy and are great to wear for long days out with jeans or dresses.

Maybe these got a bit too tacky to look at. It’s another style of shoes that you probably don’t see a lot of anymore. The metal chain detail just did not age well with these.

Now these are a similar vibe to the western boots and mules, except chunkier. They are comfortable too, though not everyone will like these. And who knows how long they’ll last in terms of fashion trends?
