For college students on a budget, the easiest way to update your wardrobe from season-to-season is with accessories. Shoes are the most versatile accessory and this fall, there are styles for everyone.
Pointed-toe pump
This classic shoe is a perfect companion for all of the key looks for fall. The pointed-toe elongates the leg making you look thinner and taller, and in a contrasting color, a pointed-toe pump can invigorate any fall look from a t-shirt and jeans combo to a sweater and tweed trouser combo. Invest in a good pair; these pumps can be worn season-after-season.
Stacked heel
The stacked heel is clean and ladylike. Paired with one of the versatile skirts of fall and opaque tights, this fall favorite instantly adds a chic touch to any outfit.
High-heeled Oxfords
Oxfords are the ideal compliment to the voluminous wide-leg trousers, menswear-inspired vests and form-fitting pencil skirts of the season. In a variety of colors, make a statement with the insanely multipurpose shoe. Oozing with sophistication and elegance, oxfords are bold enough to make a statement with clothes with clean, tailored lines.
Platform Mary-Janes
There are so many types of Mary-Jane pumps out there, but the trendiest and most flexible has a platform on the bottom. Like the stacked heel, this shoe looks great with opaque tights and a tailored skirt. Shorts look amazingly flattering with Mary-Janes too.
Boots
The boot is synonymous with fall. And designers provide many options when selecting your go-to boot. For a casual, laid-back look, tuck flat boots into skinny jeans, and pair them with a fitted blazer and scarf.
Knee-high boots couple well with skinny jeans too, but they also look great with skirts. For ladies attempting to add a few inches, bypass the flat boot and opt for the knee-high boot with a heel.
Ankle boots are the hottest of the three major boots for the season. Avoid cropped pants or tights, mid-length skirts with bare legs, pencil skirts, shorts and capris with ankle boots. Instead choose skinny jeans, long skirts, and short skirts with tights.
