Sneakers
Comfy and cute from the office to the school run to the sidelines.
The warm tan sneaker that makes fall outfits easy. It works with jeans, leggings, or work-casual looks 🍂
NEW BALANCE CLASSICS - 574
Your pop of color for fall. Cream with soft blue and a gum sole, and cute with cropped jeans and a cozy sweater. True to size.
GOLA - Eagle '86
An easy sneaker that makes brown feel new. Cream stripes and a gum sole dress up jeans or leggings, and it's true to size.
ADIDAS - VL Court 3.0
A dark brown sneaker that looks a little dressier than a typical pair. Tonal stitching and a gum sole make it work for errands or work-casual days. True to size, though one reviewer sized down half.
SAM EDELMAN - Isella
The classic white sneaker with a warmer, creamier look. A safe pick for jeans, leggings, or work trousers. Over 1,700 reviews, so it's a proven one.
REEBOK - Club C 85
Chunky tan sneakers that give a plain fall outfit some edge. The sand tones and gum sole work with jeans, leggings, or work-casual looks, and the visible Air window adds a little something extra. Comfy, lightweight, and around $100.
Nike Air Max Excee Women's
A retro jogger-style sneaker with a muted silver, evergreen, and soft pink color mix that feels like fall without the usual brown. The chunky sole and glittery side stripes add a little fun to jeans or leggings. Runs true to size.
Gola Daytona Blaze Women's
A budget-friendly sneaker at around $75, with a double-lace detail and a little lift from the sole. The chestnut brown works with jeans, leggings, or a fall dress, and it's a fun change from a basic sneaker. Great if you want a fall look without spen...
DV Dolce Vita Fraysher Women's
The chunky version of the classic white sneaker. The thick sole gives you a little extra height, and the black accents make it look sharper with jeans, leggings, or work trousers. A great pick if you want a clean white sneaker with a bit more edge.
Reebok Lifestyle Club C Double Women's
Boots
Fall boots that dress up jeans and a sweater, at the office or at pickup.
The cozy boot I'll be living in all fall. The platform gives you a little height, and the olive color feels fresh next to the usual browns and blacks. It's a slip-on, so it's perfect for chilly school drop-offs, errands, and a Friday night game. Wear...
UGG Classic Ultra Mini Platform Women's
The tall tan boot I keep seeing on everyone's fall list, and for good reason. It's a just-under-the-knee leather boot with a sturdy block heel, so it's easier to walk in than a stiletto. Wear it with jeans and an oversized sweater for drop-off, or wi...
STEVE MADDEN - Riggs
The boot that makes a fall outfit look like you have your life together. This dark brown leather Chelsea has that worn-in look right out of the box, so it's cool with jeans, a dress, or work trousers. The elastic sides make it a quick slip-on for sch...
Dr. Martens Embury Chelsea Boot
A knee-high chocolate suede boot that makes fall outfits look more expensive. The block heel is comfortable enough for a full day, and it looks great over leggings or skinny jeans. Heads up: the shaft is tall, so read the size notes if you're on the ...
Sam Edelman Sylvia Women's
A budget-friendly brown boot with a block heel and zip side, so it's easy to get on and off. The dark brown looks great with jeans, leggings, or a fall dress. If the $200 boots are out of budget, this is a good pick under $110. Runs true to size.
DV Dolce Vita Bardonny Women's
Loafers, Mules & Flats (work-to-weekend)
Work-to-weekend shoes that slip on fast and look polished.
Meet my favorite shoe for days when I have to look put together but my feet still need to survive. This suede backless loafer has a cushioned footbed, so it's comfy for the school run, the office, and dinner after. Wear it with cropped jeans or a bla...
Sam Edelman Astrid Women's
The flat I reach for when I need to look polished but I'm running on 5 hours of sleep and a coffee. The desert tan goes with everything, from dark jeans to a fall dress to work trousers, and it's easy to slip on for the school run and still look put ...
Sam Edelman Ruthie Women's
The "clog meets loafer" that goes with everything. This dark brown suede slip-on has soft pleated stitching and a touch of gold, so it dresses up work trousers and looks just as good with weekend jeans. Easy to slide on when you're running out the do...
Dolce Vita Jodero Women's
The easiest shoe in my fall rotation. This chocolate brown suede slip-on mule is backless, so you can put it on in two seconds, and it's polished enough to wear with trousers or weekend jeans. It's the shoe I grab when I'm running late and still want...
