Shoes are an easy way to instantly change the mood of your look. And they are also the wardrobe item that you can safely collect without worrying that your feet will suddenly change shape or size. However, your shoe wardrobe should be practical when it comes to autumn humidity. This season, fortunately, there are more options for interseasonal shoes that will not be hot and at the same time there is no risk of freezing. So the most feminine and elegant pair of October has become leather pumps.

These shoes are all about office chic, urban comfort, and fall flirtation. Alexa Chung wears her granny pumps with jeans and a lace tank, while influencer Camille Charrier wears them with leggings and a sweatshirt.
This fall's fashion favorites also include Jil Sander's boxy silhouettes, Acne Studios' chunky heel loafers, Jonathan Anderson's shiny Dior brogues, Lanvin's graphic designs, and Sportmax's micro heels.

When styled correctly, off-season pumps are just as sexy as a pair of stilettos. They have the same alluring imperfection as a voluminous cardigan or a slightly strange skirt. Nowadays, it's worth choosing shoes that can have a slightly awkward look and at the same time be an undeniable synonym for style and a faithful companion for gaining your daily step quota. Believe me, both your looks and your ankles will thank you for it.
