Shoes are an essential piece of any outfit. They can tie an entire outfit together and help set one outfit apart from the rest. They can take an outfit to the next level and make those wearing them feel confident and extraordinary. The evolution of shoes has changed drastically over time, and every year shoe trends are often inspired by celebrities and fashion runways. This year these five shoe styles will be on everyone’s shopping list:

1. Mary Janes
This style of shoe has been out of the game for a long time. It is just starting to come back into style and will likely be here for a while. It looks like a traditional baby doll shoe. It features a closed toe with a thick strap across the top of the shoe to add style and security. This shoe looks great on girls and women of all ages. It can be worn to a business event or a casual occasion.

2. Croc-effect loafers
Another great style of shoe that you will see everywhere in 2020 is the croc-effect leather loafer. This shoe will be worn by men and women of all ages in a variety of different locations. This style of the shoe features a croc-effect that helps it appear to be a more high-end style of shoe. Some of the main designers making this style of the shoe include Sam Edelman, Shein Croc, and Dune Grady.

3. Chain detail pumps
One of the most popular styles of shoes that you will see all over the runway, in the clubs, and in business meetings is the chain detail pump. This shoe resembles a traditional pump but includes a small chain detail somewhere in the shoe. This small chain detail helps to add a little bit of style and personality to the shoe. It takes the shoe to the next level. Many designers are choosing to add the chain down the center of the shoe, while others are using it around the ankle. Some of the most famous designers that you will see showing off these shoes are Valentino and Marc Jacobs.

4. Espadrille sandals
These are the most popular types of sandals out today. They feature a flat shoe with a closed toe, which is not typical for many sandals. It then includes a twisted strap around the lower leg. This unique style of sandal has made them so popular. This shoe will be seen in almost every country in 2020 because of its incredible design and convenience. Some of the best designers making this shoe include Marc Jacobs and Uo Poppy.

5. Platform sneakers
This style of shoe is another style that is back to stay. These shoes were popular in the 90’s but have made a return. These platform sneakers are mainly designed for women. They help give women an extra few inches and help to increase the length of their leg appearance. These are very popular for shorter women or women who want their legs to appear longer. These sneakers are going to be seen in every color imaginable, but for many women, they will choose to go the traditional route and get all black and white sneakers. These help the platform blend in a little bit more than bright colors.
