WOMEN’S CASUAL SHOE TRENDS FALL 2015
There are five big trends in women’s casual footwear for fall 2015. Look for strong athletic inspiration,
vintage looks, under-construction, simple styling, ultra-comfort and the contrast of glamour with sportiness.
Vintage Sport: Simple, vintage, vulcanized shoes continue to be a strong trend for fall 2015. Look for hipster
sneakers, slip-ons, boxing and basket ball styles, as well as rubber soles on leather-upper boots and shoes.
These under-constructed, athletic-inspired shoes pair with skinny, boyfriend jeans, skirts and athletic pants.
Seventies Bohemian: Under-constructed, hippie sandals and boots complement the retro, seventies,
bohemian, fashion trend. There is a resurgence of suede, tan leathers, cork, stacked heels, lug soles,
chukkas, ankle boots, sherpa and fringe details. Reemerging flared jeans require higher-heeled boots,
sandals and shoes.
Easy Living: Comfort is a mega-trend in casual shoes. Soft, bend and stretch ballerinas, slip-ons, lace-free
styles, brogues with rubber soles and driving moccasins, in a range of colors, patterns and materials are
endlessly wearable for work and on the weekends.
Looking Sharp: Very pointed toes emerge in women’s ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers, menswear looks,
booties and lace-ups in suedes, patterns, metallic, rustic and patent leathers. These pair well with pants,
short skirts and jeans.
Glam Sport: Sport shoes go glamorous. Sneakers, loafers and shoes with rubber bottoms get a serious,
dose of cosmopolitan in metallic, patent leathers and edgy details. These pair well with urban minimalist
and athletic looks.
