Even if your wardrobe is minimalist, one pair of standout shoes can instantly transform any outfit. Ballet flats, loafers, and mules remain seasonal must-haves — timeless investments in style.

Vogue selected five pairs that will elevate your look from sunny early fall days to cool evening strolls.

Fall shoes everyone will notice

Artell Shoes moccasins

Perfect for light strolls reminiscent of late-summer Italian getaways, these moccasins are just as stylish in any other country. Pair them with flared jeans, oversized shirts, and a trench coat. When spring arrives, they’ll be ready to wear again.

Two-tone Nani mules

A modern twist on Chanel’s classic, these two-tone mules with a square heel are ideal for a mocha-colored power suit and will instantly become the highlight of your fall outfit.

Animal-print ballet flats

Animal print doesn’t have to be bold — it can be playful. A black total look with tailored cigarette trousers and a turtleneck gets a chic, flirty touch with animal-print ballet flats.

Tueam’s sock boots

Sock-style ankle boots remain a fashion staple. With low, sturdy heels that elongate the legs, they bring elegance to any silhouette. Style them with maxi sheath dresses, straight-leg jeans, or dark tights for a polished finish.

Kachorovska brown Chelsea boots

Chocolate brown is the season’s defining shade. Classic Chelsea boots never go out of style, but for a creative twist, pick versions with cowboy-inspired details. They pair perfectly with long jeans for a stylish yet relaxed look.
