The ultra-preppy shoes you had (or wanted) in high school are back in a big way. Like a lot of things these days, it all leads back to Miu Miu. The brand showed boat shoes on its Spring/Summer 2024 runway, and the rest of the fashion world is finally starting to catch on. We've noticed a huge increase in boat shoes and camp moccasins in New York and on TikTok, and on a recent trip to Paris we spotted multiple pairs of Timberland lug-sole shoes. All signs point to a glorious comeback tour, so get ahead of the curve with classic versions from Sperry and Sebago, or Steve Madden's Miu Miu lookalikes. Oh, and moccasins are on the rise, too, though they're not exactly the same. Clarks offers up flats to match.

9. Bohemian Clogs

Bohemian style is back, and so are its essential shoes: wedges and (most excitingly) clogs. Take a page from Chloe's popular fall runway show and wear studded mules from Tory Burch and The Drop, step into fall's fuzzy shoe trend with Birkenstocks, or add height and comfort with chunky clogs from UGG. They all look great with faded denim and flowy maxi skirts. Go sock-free for dressy events and calf-length socks on your days off.
