5 Editor-Approved Spring Footwear Trends From Nine West

Welcome to Weekday Wardrobe, a series in which one Who What Wear editor or staffer will snap a pic of the outfits they wear from Monday to Friday. We’ll break down where you can shop it all to inspire your own everyday style, no matter what’s on your weekly agenda.

Leopard! Denim! Raffia! Spring footwear trends are making their debut, and they’re ready to replace your winter boots. This season, we editors are embracing bold prints, unexpected fabrics, and new takes on classic seasonal motifs (I’m talking an edgier take on florals if you can believe it). If there was an official footwear fan club, I’d be the president, and my fellow editor, Kaitlin Clapinski, would be my VP. We’ve been plotting our spring shoe purchases for months and I’m taking notes on her picks from Nine West. This brand is the hot spot for finding the trendiest shoes season after season, and this spring, they’ve got five styles we’re already incorporating into our weekday wardrobe. To see what made Kaitlin’s cut, keep reading.

“When I spotted these Nine West Mary Janes, I immediately knew they would be a staple in my wardrobe. The woven detail just feels very light and perfect for spring. The best part: They have all the energy of a relaxed sandal—which is my go-to when the sun is out—with the more preppy, put-together exterior of a Mary Jane.” — Kaitlin Clapinski, associate editor, branded content

“Finding work-appropriate shoes that are still fun, functional, and comfortable to wear all day is harder than you think. This pair from Nine West checked all the boxes and added a fun touch to my outfit. The leopard print is especially trendy right now, but I loved how the entire outfit still felt very balanced and timeless for my day at the office.” —Clapinski

“Metallic shoes are such a fun way to spice up any look. They’re really having a moment right now, but I love that the silhouette still feels effortless. My wardrobe consists of neutral shades, so the silver added some much-needed eye-catching shine.” — Clapinski

“Thursdays are typically errand-heavy days. I like to keep my end-of-week looks simple and comfortable, but still cool. The easiest way for me to do that is by incorporating a shoe that steals the show. Denim is typically a more casual fabric choice, but these feel so high fashion. The grommet details and black sole add a luxurious feel to these trending sandals.” — Clapinski

“Heels and baggy jeans are my go-to for a Friday night out. You get the best of both worlds: The laid-back feel of jeans and the spiciness of high heels. I got so many compliments on the floral elements of the heel—the small details always pack the biggest punch. While florals aren’t groundbreaking for spring, I like that this is an edgier take on the seasonal trend.” — Clapinski
