When celebrity stylist Anita Patrickson isn’t busy getting her clients like Julianne Hough and Eiza González ready for the red carpet, she’s hard at work for her shoe label, Amanu. So with both an eye for the celebrity-approved trends and a mind for design, she’s steeped in the biggest shoe trends of the moment, more so than your typical stylist. Curious to find out which shoe trends are topping her list, I asked her to share the key styles that are worth investing in right now.
Ahead, Patrickson is weighing in on the five best shoe trends to add to your shopping cart now. These are the shoes that will take you from summer through fall, whether you’re in the market for sandals, heels, or boots. Go on to see the shoe trends that have a celebrity stylist’s stamp of approval.
Barely There Sandals
"Dare to bare. I adore this sexy sandal trend we've seen all summer! Make sure you have a cute pedi, and you'll be good to go!"
Combat Boot
"Combat boots are back! They are the easiest way to edge up a girly look. These Dr. Martens won't break the bank, either."
Mules
"I am a little in love with Staud and their gorgeous, go-with-everything mules! They are a classic for your closet and perfect for the office."
Caged Heels
"I adore this vintage vibe. So chic and timeless."
Python Boots
"This trend isn't over yet! Pair under a dress or knee-length skirt for the perfect boot to transition you into fall."
