Jessica Wilson • Fashion

Fall has always been a fashion favorite and along with warm weather clothing additions, we’re all looking to update our footwear collection as well. Trending on the runways this season are updated classic silhouettes that deliver fresh hybrid looks. Read on for our picks for must-have footwear for F/W 13.

Fall 2013 Footwear: Ankle Straps
Alexander Wang / Snakeskin Pumps
Nicholas / Ankle Strap Sandals
Rachel Roy / Suede Ankle Strap Sandals
Monique Lhullier / Studded Heel Pumps

It’s one of the hottest trends of the season and it looks as though ankle straps are here to stay. Thick straps that secure at the ankle create a cuff-like effect, while skinny straps add a more elegant and delicate touch. Simple sandals are a key silhouette and are dressed with studs and animal prints.

Fall 2013 Footwear: High Vamp
10 Crosby / Wedge Pumps
Fendi / Lizard Embossed Vamp Pump
Tibi / Matte Leather Pumps
Gianvito Rossi / Red Stiletto Pump

Update your standard fall pump for ones with a high vamp cut. Referencing retro looks, these v-cut lines deliver newness to the popular pointed-toe pump for the season. Also look for rounded vamps and exotic leather uppers as seen in the pair above by Fendi.

Fall 2013 Footwear: Booties
Sergio Rossi / Cut Out Ankle Booties
Paul Andrew / Lace Up Booties
Georgio Armani / Lace Boots
Jason Wu / Peep Toe Booties

In addition to over-the-knee styles, above the ankle heights are also popular this season. Featuring snug fits with minimal upper construction, electric suede, cutouts and laces add texture and dimension.

Fall 2013 Footwear: T Straps
Jill Stuart / T Strap Pumps
Sergio Rossi / T Strap Sandals
Aquazzura / T Strap Spotted Sandals
Saint Laurent / T Strap Platform Pump

Bring elegance to your feet this fall with a T-strap silhouette as seen on the runways for F/W 13. Sleek, skinny straps deliver sex appeal on modern styles of the shoe. Look for other fall trends incorporated into these styles such as block heels and animal print.

Fall 2013 Footwear: Mary Janes
Prada / Mary Jane Flats
See by Chloe / Mary Jane Pumps
Miu Miu / Studded Platform Mary Janes
Alice + Olivia / Pumps with Studded Strap

Referencing 60s Mod with sleek pointed toes and 90s youth styling with chunky platforms, Mary Janes are back and more modern than ever. Featuring studs, metallics and two-tone details, these fall looks feature the perfect combination of classic and edgy.
