The Edit

For wedding season, festival season, and all the getaways in between, these are the shoes your fave content creators are wearing this spring.

Brigette Pheloung: The Bride

Let @acquired.style be your wedding (shoes) planner. Fall in love with her perfect picks for all the the special moments surrounding your big day, like sparkling flip-flops for prepping in the wedding suite, romantic espadrilles for honeymooning in style, and, of course, something gorgeous for walking down the aisle.

'How are you making bridal feel like you?'

By keeping everything very true to my personal style. I want it to feel timeless and elegant but still playful and fun. Every piece, from the dress to the shoes, is something that feels very “me.”

‘What role do shoes play in your bridal look?’

For my bridal era, shoes are more than an accessory, they’re the perfect finishing touch to each look. They allow my personal style to shine through, creating a look that feels cohesive from head to toe—and ready for every moment of the celebration.

Venita Aspen: The Best-Dressed Guest

Go ahead and RSVP yes to every event this season, because @venitaaspen’s got your shoes all picked out for you. From spring weddings to graduation events to patio cocktail parties, these minimalist sandals and warm-weather stunners are your guaranteed conversation starters.

‘What does “best guest” mean to you when it comes to shoes?’

To me, the best guest shows up looking put together but effortless. A beautiful pair of shoes does that instantly; it’s the detail that finishes the whole look.

‘What makes an outfit feel unforgettable?’

An outfit becomes unforgettable when the shoes make the statement. The right pair instantly elevates everything else you’re wearing.

Remi Bader: The Best-Dressed Guest

It may be the bride’s day, but the compliments you’re gonna get from @remibader’s perfect wedding guest shoes are about to make yours. These perfect plus ones will be turning heads from the buffet line to the dance floor, thanks to on-trend woven details, obsession-worthy colors, and need-right-now beaded embellishments.

‘What makes an outfit feel “best guest” versus just dressed up when it comes to shoes?’

The shoes are what take an outfit from “cute’” to “best” dressed guest. The dress might get all the attention at first, but when you walk into a room, people notice the shoes.

‘What’s your secret to feeling confident at any event?’

My secret to feeling confident at an event honestly starts with what I’m wearing. If I feel good in the outfit, especially the shoes, I walk in with a completely different energy. Fashion can really shift your mindset and has always been a game changer for me. To make you even more confident at an event, finding a shoe that is not only cute, but also COMFORTABLE is next level.

Rachael Kirkconnel: The Travelista

Travel hack: build your itinerary around your shoes…specifically ones picked by @rachaelkirkconnell.  Dinner out in elegantly simple heels, hotel drinks with strappy slip-ons, a stroll around the city in a fun zebraprint wedge…this vacay is already planning itself.

‘What are the three shoes you need to bring to every trip?’

A sneaker that’s comfortable and easy to walk around in, a flat of some sort that you can wear for more casual day activities, and a versatile heel that you can wear with almost anything.

‘Do you choose your shoes around the itinerary or the outfits?’

A little bit of both! When the itinerary comes first, I plan the outfit and shoes around the trip’s activities. When the shoes come first, I will plan the outfit around the shoe because the shoe could be the moment.

Brianna LaPaglia: The Festival Queen

Headlining all the big concerts: @briannalapaglia's shoes.

‘What makes the perfect festival shoe?’

The perfect festival shoe can’t be boring, but it can’t be too much. It needs to show your personality but also be comfortable for all day wear.

‘What trend are you loving for festival season?’

My favorite festival season trends are bright colors and patterns. I’m so happy people aren’t being boring and are stepping out of their comfort zones again!
