PSA: Spring is coming. The air is buzzing with anticipation as we prepare for all the warm weather clothing to come. Shoe trends in particular are top of mind for me, and thanks to my Instagram feed, Pinterest board and all the street style inspiration I come across, I already have my eye on some of the key styles for the coming season. From mesh flats and Mary Janes to almost blindingly bright sneakers, the options are endless. The problem is getting these hot pairs before they inevitably sell out, but I have a secret weapon: NET-A-PORTER.
It’s one of the trusted luxury stores I can always count on when I get my hands on some of the most sought-after shoes of the season, starting with the shoes from the New In and Trending sections, which are always perfection. I mean, the e-tailer has something for every style, from iconic fashion houses to emerging designers, ensuring my search crosses the crème de la crème of footwear. There’s just no wrong with it.

Expect to see some variation of this on every fashion person.

THE ROW

For days when I want more than a ballerina, but less than a dressy heel.
2. MARIA JANES
THE BERYL WORLD
Leather-trimmed mesh Mary Jane ballerinas
Mesh Mary Jane flats highlight two major shoe trends at once.

Colorful sneakers are in for spring, and they don’t get much brighter than this blue Loewe pair from the On Running collab…
ADIDAS ORIGINALS
