My favorite kind of fall shoe is something that makes a basic jeans + sweater outfit suddenly look like you actually tried. These are the flats, loafers, sneakers, and boots I’d wear on repeat this fall, some splurges, some way more affordable, but a...
Okay THESE with straight leg jeans and a little cardigan??? I’m obsessed. The brown suede is so fall and they make even the most basic outfit look 10x more put together.
REYES Dk Brown Suede Mary-Jane Ballet Flats
I fear brown suede Mary Janes have me in a chokehold this fall. These look SO much more expensive than they are and I love the little buckle with the round toe.
Women's Jolin Suede Mary Jane Ballet Flats
If you want a ballet flat that’s a little less basic, THIS ONE. The tiny gold details are so pretty and the chestnut suede literally screams fall without being too trendy.
LOREE Chesnut Suede Mary-Jane Metal Detail Ballet Flats
Definitely a splurge but omg. These are giving rich girl walking around the West Village in October. If you want one really nice pair of fall flats you’ll wear with everything, I LOVE these.
MARGAUX The Demi Jane Flat (Women)
Another splurge-y one but the shape of these is sooo good. I feel like you could wear them to class and then straight to dinner and somehow they work for both??
rag & bone Spire Mary Jane Flat (Women)
Wait I LOVE the square toe on these. They’re giving expensive without having a bunch of logos everywhere which is exactly what I want from a fall shoe.
Vince Daniela Mary Jane Flat (Women)
The chocolate brownnnn. So simple but that’s literally why they look expensive. I would wear these with jeans, trousers, mini skirts… basically everything until it starts snowing lol
Women's Suede Mary Jane Ballet Flats
The perfect fall loafer in my opinion. I love the slightly squared toe because it feels a little more modern, and the brown suede makes them look so elevated. I’d wear these with straight-leg jeans, a white tee, and a sweater basically all season.
ALOHAS Aven Penny Loafer (Women)
I’ve been loving this softer, more relaxed loafer shape lately. These have that effortless, slightly menswear-inspired look that makes even a really simple outfit feel intentional. Also, I clearly have a thing for brown suede this fall and I’m fully ...
COS Split Suede Moccasin Loafers (Women)
If you want an everyday sneaker that isn’t another pair of Sambas, I really like these. The cream, brown, and green color combination is so good for fall, but still neutral enough that you’ll actually wear them constantly. Such an easy shoe for class...
adidas SL 72 Sneaker (Women)
These are probably my favorite sneaker find on this list. I love how slim and understated they are, and the little brown details make them feel especially cute for fall. They’re the kind of sneaker I’d throw on with jeans and a jacket when I want to ...
adidas Tokyo Low Top Sneaker (Women)
Okay, if you’re only buying one ankle boot for fall, I would seriously consider these. Chocolate brown suede + the little square toe is such a good combination, and the heel gives you some height without looking impossible to walk in. I can already p...
DUSTY Chocolate Brown Suede Women's Ankle Boot
This is the pair I’d choose if you want something more classic that you’ll still love a few years from now. The brown leather is gorgeous, the shape is really clean, and the heel is actually realistic for walking around in. Definitely more of an inve...
Madewell The Lexie Ankle Bootie (Women)
I feel like everyone needs one really good pair of tall brown boots, and these are such a classic. I especially like that they don’t have a bunch of trendy details that will look dated next year. Wear them with a mini skirt and sweater now, then with...
Sam Edelman Penny Boot (Women)
These are definitely a splurge, but they might be the prettiest boots on this entire list. The chocolate leather and super clean silhouette make them look so expensive without trying too hard. If you’ve been looking for the tall brown boot to invest ...
Vagabond Shoemakers Blanca Knee High Boot (Women)
I love these if you want the tall brown boot look but with a little more personality. The square toe and block heel make them feel current without being overly trendy, and the warm brown color is so pretty for fall. I’d wear these with dresses and sk...
Sam Edelman Sylvia Knee High Boot (Women)
I had to include one dressier option because a little black slingback is one of those shoes that instantly makes an outfit look more polished. I love the pointed toe and tiny heel on these. They are elegant without feeling overly formal. Such an easy...
