Even budget-friendly shoes can appear high-end. If a pair aligns with fashion trends, no one will be able to determine their actual price.

This year, experts recommend moving away from the classic beige shoes and opting for snake print instead. Snake print is a trendy choice that can freshen up your outfit and make it look more stylish. Additionally, this print is versatile and suits any clothes.
2. Loafers without metal fittings

Metal elements can make shoes appear less expensive, so if you have concerns about the quality of the fittings, it's best to avoid these shoes. Fashion experts suggest this is particularly important when selecting loafers, and it's better to choose loafers without embellishments or with snake-print elements.
3. Lace-up boat shoes

Soft lace-up boat shoes are currently fashionable, conveying a more casual look than city loafers with thick soles, while also being associated with luxury due to their popularity among yacht owners. Classic boat shoes are also trendy, but patent leather models can easily become scratched and appear unkempt.
4. Dark suede shoes

For a luxurious fall outfit, opt for monochrome suede boots in darker colors. Avoid floral prints or overly cute shoes as they may not look elegant. Darker colored boots are better as scratches and damages are less visible, making them appear more expensive.
5. Silver sneakers
Sneakers with a silver coating are versatile and can be paired with any outfit. These shoes align more with the "quiet luxury" aesthetic, unlike bulky sneakers that compromise elegance. Additionally, platform sneakers are becoming less prominent.
6. Moto boots

Leather moto boots can add a bold twist to a "quiet luxury" style look this year. Slouchy boots are also on trend, but high-heeled models may appear too flashy or even vulgar to some.
7. Shoes without bright details

According to experts, brightly colored or heavily embellished shoes can appear gaudy. Therefore, fashionistas prefer elegant shoes in neutral tones. The famous black shoes with red soles are also considered unsuitable for a lady, as this color combination is seen as provocative.
8. Little black booties

Experts believe that massive lace-up boots don't add grace to the look, but half-boots with a small heel look stylish and expensive. Little black booties look particularly cool - they're a hit now.
9. Low heel pumps

High platform shoes can appear inexpensive and inelegant, and they also weigh down the legs, sometimes making them look shorter. Furthermore, this design necessitates a higher heel, making it more challenging to walk in these shoes. It's best to choose classic pumps with a low heel and no platform.
And these fashionable shoe styles are not as cool as they appear.
