Fall fashion is all about texture — velvety shoes, ruffled dresses, suede handbags and studded accessories. It’s fun to combine contrasting textures — for example romantic pleated blouses with edgy leather boots. Today, let’s look at some shoes and boots from Neiman Marcus in interesting textures for fall.

Let’s take a look at some of the hot shoe trends for fall. Of course, there will be suede boots, menswear-inspired oxfords and tons of grey, but here are some more of the latest shoe trends for fall.

Stay Nude
The nude and neutral colors that we saw in summer sandals will stick around in fall footwear as well. Look for beige, cream, taupe and other natural colors to blend into your fall wardrobe. These Valentino lace-up boots from Saks Fifth Avenue is a fab example. You can get these booties for $795.. The cutouts seen on these shoes are also very trendy for fall.

Rock On
Embrace your inner rockstar with the rocker-chic look for fall. Studs, rivets and other edgy accents will dominate handbags, boots, shoes and other accessories. Wear a leather jacket with a pair of allover studded ankle boots. For something a little tamer, the Christian Louboutin candy stud pumps combine a feminine silhouette with studded details.

Big, bold, beautiful buckles will grace jackets, handbags and, of course, shoes. Check out the Marc Jacobs buckle ankle boots, which feature large, exaggerated straps and buckles, along with glossy patent leather. These designer booties are priced just under $1,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
