This Is the Easiest Way to Try the "Ugly" Shoe Trend

Miuccia Prada has endorsed it. Ashley Olsen has shown her support for it. Gigi Hadid has worn it on numerous occasions. It's official: the "ugly" shoe trend is taking over the industry. But if you're still hesitant to take it out for a spin, perhaps Emma Roberts's perfect styling tip will do the trick.
Stepping out in Los Angeles this week, Roberts found the ideal solution for making the trend easier to wear. She paired Coach's Turnlock Creeper Slides ($345) with Loft's Lacy Flounce Dress ($98) and Garret Leight x Clare V Sable Sunglasses ($340). We love how the addition of her feminine dress and cat-eye sunglasses offset the clunkiness of her cool shoes, making the bold trend a lot more approachable. Plus, her under-$100 dress happens to be the perfect transitional piece for fall—you can easily pair it with tights when colder weather hits.
