Fall 2009 Shoes & Footwear Trends
It’s no secret… I’m completely obsessed with shoes. I just realized this last weekend that I got 11 new pairs of shoes in August. I’m pretty sure I need a 12 step program…
And since I wasn’t able to fit Fashion Week NYC into my schedule this time around, I decided to have a little Fashion Week of my own here on The Fashionable Housewife and feature all my favorite Fall 2009 shoe trends all this week! If you love shoes as much as I do, you’re probably doing a little happy dance right now…
Timeless footwear is top trendy right now. The main trend for shoes this Fall 2009-Winter 2010 are Ankle Boots and Over-The-Knee Boots. I’m also loving that purple is going to be popular again this Fall.
Shoe Trends For Fall 2009:
- Ankle Boots & Booties
- Knee High Boots
- Thigh High Boots / Over The Knee Boots
- Velvet
- Studs, zippers and oversized buckles
- Purple
- Ballet Flats & Low Heels
- Super High Platform Heels
In this economy, designers aren’t being as extravagant as they usually are. Simple and easy-to-wear styles are tres chic for Fall 2009.
Each day this week, I’ll highlight each trend and feature my favorite pick for each trend as well as many other options for all you gals that can’t resist shoe shopping!
I love the long, long, long boots trends for this fall. But I hate shoes like that black one with golden details.
Fall is almost here! :)
(I’m following on twitter) I love the shoes you have featured. I’ve never worn knee high or thigh high boots…..although they look super cute, I dont think I could get away with wearing them. I would need some guidance on that one. I love buckles!!! Dont know why but its So hard to resist shoes with buckles. And Purple is my favorite color… I am looking forward to shopping for fall fashion clothes.
ballet flats and ankel boots are my favorites!! i’m so excited to start building my fall shoe collection! i just LOVE the velvet low heels!!! super cute!
