Shoe Trends Every 2020 Bride Should Know About

Diamonds are a girl's best friend - but honestly, so are shoes!

Considering we are all likely wfh at the moment, our foot fashion choices are probably moving from fluffy socks to our everyday pair of slippers. These “shoes optional” dress code days have got us missing our favorite kicks all the more! So, we dug deep into fashion week for some wedding shoe inspiration for all our brides-to-be who, like us, might need some much-needed distraction right now.

Looking at the runway, and in the streets as well, the shoe trends taking over in 2020 range from ‘90s throwbacks to reimagined classics. Shoes are becoming statement pieces that are more than just the piece of an ensemble you slip on before you leave the house. A lot of thought is being put into the accents and overall appearance of a shoe. Incorporating the right shoe for your wedding day or wedding activity outfit can take your look from classic to statement in an instant! So, if you’re looking for some shoe inspiration for your wedding weekend, we’ve listed below our six favorite shoe trends that will have you looking style-savvy in no time when we can all finally put our shoes back on!

Platform Heels

If you love a good heel, but often find them hard to walk in when it comes to stilettos and any shoe higher than a few inches, then this is the ‘70s goddess trend for you. Chunky platform heels give you height, but also a better sense of stability when you walk. Plus, you can have fun with the design of the heel from wooden platforms to buckles and jewels.

Bow-Adorned Heels

Bows are sticking around this season, except instead of a hair accessory, it’s a shoe accent. If you’re going for a more romantic bridal look for your wedding weekend, this trend would be a great addition to any ensemble. From bow ankle straps to pointed heels with a satin bow, they can come in various colors and pair well with any outfit from dresses to jumpsuits.

Sculptured Heel

We all have our trusty pair of black booties or pumps in our closet that match with just about any outfit, but this year fashion lovers are favoring a more decked-out option. You can still opt for a black bootie or pump if that’s your go-to, but choose one with a unique heel shape or pattern. Adding an eye-catching element to your shoe gives you a distinct look without having to completely change up your outfit choices.

Chain Accents

Simple accent additions can easily take a look from plain jane to cool-girl chic. Chains can border on being too heavy for a shoe embellishment, but if you opt for a thin chain, resembling an anklet, it can be an effortlessly cool accessory. Whether it’s a drop chain or an ankle strap replacement, this trend can bring modern elegance to your ensemble.

The New Loafer

Who doesn’t love a good loafer? If you tend to go for a more vintage, preppy style in your day-to-day looks, this modern loafer trend would be perfect for you during your wedding weekend. From slingback options to a more traditional slip-on, loafers are back with a modern twist. Often branded as stuffy office wear, loafers are now creative and fun with leopard print patterns and multiple buckles.

Lace-Up Sandals

Lace ‘em up! A shoe fitting for spring and summer, lace-up sandals look great with any ensemble from dresses and jumpsuits to jeans. With thin straps and minimal embellishments, this shoe trend adds a sultry vibe to any look and can be worn with a day or night ensemble, whether you chose a hot pink option or a toned-down white.
