THE HOTTEST SHOE TREND FOR SPRING STYLED 3 WAYS

5 FASHION TRENDS OUT OF STYLE IN 2023

SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL

Over 40 fashion blogger from Dallas showcases the hottest shoe trend in 2023.

Calling all shoe LOVERS!  Is anyone else shoe-obsessed like me?  A killer pair of shoes can make or break an outfit so when I find a pair as good as these by Sam Edelman I can’t wait to share them with all of you!  In fact, these highly coveted neutral platforms remind me of some Valentino platforms but instead of being $1000 plus dollars, these are very budget-friendly.  And in case you were wondering, platforms are the “IT” shoe trend this season and one of my personal favorites.  Why you may ask? Well, they make you look taller and slimmer without the discomfort of a regular heel! The platfom takes the pitch down, which makes them actually fairly comfortable for a heel this tall.  If you’re wondering how to style these fabulous platforms keep scrolling for 3 amazing ways to style them.

SAM EDELMAN PLATFORMS:

Before we get into HOW to style the hottest shoe trend in 2023, let’s dive into WHAT that trend is! The official “it” shoe trend for 2023 is the platform heel, and Sam Edelman’s version is the ideal option IMO. They remind me so much of the Valentino platforms, but they are budget-friendly instead of $1000 plus dollars! I find these trending shoes run true to size with a maximum comfort level.

DENIM BUSTIER TOP (UNDEDR $70):

My first look for how to style the hottest shoe trend in 2023 starts with this tastfully sexy denim bustier top. It’s perfect for styling a double denim look, and I love how the decorative stitching on the bust takes it to the next level. Typically tops like this are way over $100 but this one has a regular price point of only $70. If you’re lucky enough to take advantage of the huge sale Express is having right now then you can get it for an unbelievable price of just $40, so if you’re interested, now is definitely the time to snap one up!

WHITE JEANS (UNDER $100):

I can NEVER say no to a good pair of white denim and this pair from Express is no exception! They’re designed to sit at the waist and stay fitted throughout the hip, so you get a fantastic straight-leg look with a flattering fit through the hip, the best of both worlds! I also love the clean cropped hem for a streamlined look and they’re made with a comfort stretch denim that is perfect for all day wear. I’m wearing a size O regular in these jeans that are also part of the Express sale for 40% off their regular price of $88!

TAN BLAZER:

My choice for the 3rd layer in this look is this gorgeous tan pinstripe blazer, also from Express. The shade is light enough to be perfect for spring but still deep enough to look incredibly luxe and I love the subtle pinstripe throughout. The boyfriend fit pairs perfectly with the fitted bustier top and Express actually makes a matching pair of pants that would make a fantastic set. I’m wearing an XS in this chic spring blazer.

WHITE CROPPED BLAZER:

What’s better than rocking the hottest shoe trend in 2023? Rocking the hottest style of jacket in 2023 at the same time! Cropped jackets are the “it” jacket this spring and this one is absolutely fantastic. Paired with a white midi dress for a monochrome look and a chic platform heel, you’ve got an on-trend, stylish look to take you right through to summer and beyond! I’m wearing an XS and find it fits true to size.

SHOP NOW

WHITE MIDI DRESS:

Look No. 2 for how to style the hottest shoe trend in 2023 features this incredible white midi dress. The knit material makes it appear far more expensive than it really is and I LOVE the keyhole back. As part of the Express sale, this dress is on for $65 which is an absolute steal! I own it in the green-gold color as well and I guarantee you don’t have to worry about the material being see-through. I’m wearing an XS in this fabulous spring dress!

GREEN CROPPED BLAZER:

It’s no secret I love a good utility jacket, so when I saw this cropped version, it was in my cart faster than I could blink! The green-gold shade has quickly become one of my favorites and how can you go wrong combining 2 red hot trends into one covetable piece? I’m wearing an XS in this cropped jacket that is also a part of the Express sale, making it a steal for under $80!

WHITE BODYSUIT:

A good bodysuit with the right amount of compression is like gold in any wardrobe, so when I found this one I couldn’t wait to share it with you all! The delicate straps combined with the sweetheart neckline give it a sweet feminine vibe while the high compression material holds everything right where you want it. I’m wearing an XS in this spring wardrobe essential that comes in tons of colors and is currently on sale for under $30.
