The trend is so hot that even high-end designers like Valentino and Gucci are getting in on the action. And if you're feeling bold, why not try a fun print? Cheetah print or green polka dots, anyone? Or how about mixing it up with a Mary Jane espadrille? Trust me; you won't regret jumping on this trend.

Let's talk about kitten heels, shall we? These little darlings are updated yet classic, and I absolutely adore them! They're short, sweet, and oh-so-feminine. There are many options, from the trendy Tory Burch designs to the adorable bow slides.
Check out this Ann Klein slide with a slightly thicker kitten heel or this seasonal white side for extra pizzazz. And don't forget the natural tones for a timeless look that never goes out of style. Kitten heels are the perfect way to add fun and flirtiness to any outfit!

Cork has made a comeback this season as a natural trend, and it's absolutely stunning! Take a peek at these braided slides from Kate Spade, complete with a chic round wooden heel. Jack Rogers also brings us a classic shoe all made of cork, and even sneakers are getting in on the action. Although these sneakers from On aren't made entirely of cork, their fabric gives off a cork-like appearance.
Don't miss these adorable slides from Tory Burch with their elegant cork detailing or these cute slingbacks from Lily Pulitzer. It seems that cork is popping up in ballet flats as well!

Ballet flats are back again this season and hotter than ever! There's something for everyone, from high-end designer brands to more traditional styles.
Check out these absolutely stunning Burberry flats; they are a must-have in any shoe collection. If you prefer a classic style, you can't go wrong with these black Tory Burch flats; they even have a little scrunching around the heels for extra comfort.
And for those who love Chanel-inspired fashion, these flats with quilting on the side and patent leather toes are the perfect fit. But that's not all; check out these simple yet elegant flats with a ballet shape without the bow in the front.

#6. Metallic Shoes
Get ready to shine this season with one of my favorite trends - metallic shoes! Forget the old days of black, white, and navy neutrals - now you can add glam to your footwear with gold or silver accessories.
Trust me, incorporating metallic into your shoe collection will elevate all your outfits to a new level of sophistication and freshness. And let me tell you, these gold slides with a unique twist are just the beginning. Even sneakers are getting the metallic treatment, as evidenced by these cork-detailed Tory Burch slides.
The metallic trend stays whether you opt for bronze, rosy gold, or classic gold hue. And don't even get me started on these adorable metallic flats from Lily Pulitzer - I had to add them to my collection!

#7. Braided and Woven Shoes
Step up your shoe game because we've got another hot trend you won't want to miss - braided and woven shoes!
From designer brands like Bottega Veneta to cute and trendy strappy slides with braided vamp details, this trend is accessible at all price points. Feast your eyes on the stunning J. Crew heels and the many woven shoes available in a rainbow of colors.
While woven shoes may conjure up images of classic, natural tones, this trend has been given a modern twist that is anything but boring. Need a little extra support and coverage? Check out the braided denim slides from Born that combine two of the season's hottest trends.
And don't forget to add a pop of color with these charming pink sandals from the Open Edit shoe collection - at only $39.95, they're comfortable and cute, and I just had to buy them in two different colors.

#8. Color-Blocked Shoes
Hold onto your hats, folks, because the next trend we'll dive into is taking the fashion world by storm: color-blocked shoes! And let me tell you, I was blown away when I first saw these beauties from Tory Burch.
This trend is about making a statement from the striped espadrille with a heel that boasts a striking color-blocked design to these sneakers' playful and vibrant hues. The best part? You don't have to be a fashionista to pull off this look.
Pair these whimsical shoes with a classic, simple outfit - think jeans and a t-shirt - and you'll instantly elevate your ensemble.
So, color-blocked shoes are the way to go whether you want to add a pop of color to your wardrobe or make a bold fashion statement!

#9. Rain Boots
Springtime in the United States brings the pitter-patter of raindrops, but don't let that dampen your style! Instead, embrace the weather and slip into a pair of rain boots.
While I have my trusty classic Hunter boots ready, who says you must settle for something boring? I'm head over heels for these playful and whimsical rain boots from Mackenzie Childs, and the sneaker version is absolutely adorable.
The two-tone colors on these sneaker boots are stunning, and the classic polka dot design from Kate Spade adds a touch of fun to any outfit. For a more modern and fresh look, the height of these boots is perfect, and the heeled red rain boots from Kate Spade offer an updated twist. And, of course, you can never go wrong with a classic plaid design from Barbour.
These sleek black rain boots will turn heads if you want a more sophisticated look. So, let's embrace the rain and step out in style!
