Wanting a little style refresh doesn't always mean that you have to painstakingly update every single thing you own. Sure, there's something to be said about buying a couple of new pieces every now and then, but if you're simply looking to make your favourite looks feel fresh and ready for a new season, there's no need to completely overhaul your closet. In fact, all you really need to do is to throw a new pair of shoes into the mix.
Over the past few years, a number of exciting shoe brands have been bubbling up both on the street style scene and on social media, and whether you consider your aesthetic to be more minimalistic, sexy, or sporty, their footwear definitely deserves a spot in your collection. From classics that will serve you for many years to come to '90s-inspired shoes you'll love styling with your summer staples, these brands all offer something special and different.
So, ahead, take a closer look at the shoe brands that you'll love wearing in 2020. Plus, shop our favourite styles, which range from simple, pared-back sandals that will go with everything you own to statement-making mules, embellished clogs, and sexy stilettos.
