Spring has officially commenced, and along with it, we've set aside an upcoming weekend for a seasonal wardrobe swap. This means storing the chunky sweaters, cozy hats, and weather-resistant boots in favor of sundresses, all things linen, and open-toe shoes.
Any time you're doing a closet clean-out is a good time to reevaluate your essentials and call in the professionals for backup. So we tapped seasoned former VIP Nordstrom stylist Sandy Koszarek to help with one specific category that tends to get overlooked: footwear.
Depending on where you reside, certain types of shoes can be seasonless, like sneakers or loafers. But a new season brings other important styles to prioritize. Ahead, Koszarek shares her shopping expertise on the six shoe styles that are essential to any spring wardrobe.
Sneakers
"I'm a fan of sneakers and suggest having two go-to styles this spring. Classic white sneakers, a timeless blend of style and versatility, have become a must-have for any wardrobe. Meanwhile, retro sneakers bring a trendy vibe to your outfits, making them perfect to wear with jeans, trousers, or dresses." — Koszarek
Ballet Flats & Mary Janes
"Ballet flats and Mary Janes are spring wardrobe staples that are versatile and comfortable. Current styles like mesh, embellishments, and metallics are trending and will add interest to any outfit." — Koszarek
Slingback Heels
"This spring, I recommend wearing slingback kitten heels for an elegant and versatile way to dress up any outfit. I love wearing a metallic version with all styles of jeans." — Koszarek
Loafers
"I like wearing flats these days, especially classic loafers. They're versatile and stylish paired with straight jeans or trousers." — Koszarek
Neutral Colors
"I recommend wearing neutral-color shoes. They are wardrobe staples that work with almost every outfit. From beige to tan and cognac, they are versatile and easy to style while also elongating the legs for a flattering look!" — Koszarek
Slides
"I recommend a versatile slide for spring. With numerous styles available, ranging from sporty flats to elegant heels, there's a style for everyone." — Koszarek
