6 Shoe Trends That Are Dying in 2019

Believe it or not, we're already halfway through summer, so there's no time like the present to get ahead on your new-season shopping. Instead of overwhelming you with a list of all the trends that will be cool through the end of the year, we're going to make it simple by filling you in on the trends—shoe trends in particular—that are dying off right now.

Ahead, we've asked some of the most reputable experts in the industry, from fashion directors at your favorite online shopping destinations to marketing specialists at one of the most popular shopping search engines on the internet, to fill us in on the shoe trends they think are officially on the way out, in addition to the ones they expect to flourish. Ready to see what they said?

"Your run-of-the-mill stilettos and block heels from 2018 are getting a 2019 makeover with fresh heels in architectural shapes." — Alison Stiefel, VP of marketing at ShopStyle

"I think 2019 will be more about the athletic hybrid sandal—think a classic Teva shape—and less about flat pool slides." — Caroline Maguire, fashion director at Shopbop

"I'm craving something more refined and just trying to move away from the flat-out 'ugliness' of 2018. Personally, I'm ready for something a little more refined (and dare I say sexy!)." — Jenny Walton, fashion illustrator

"Sock sneakers and sock boots are being replaced by combat boots, [which are] popping up in our top searches. We're seeing styles in black leather with chunky soles and a cool-girl detail. Leading brands for the combat boot are Prada and Valentino." — Alison Stiefel

"We’re seeing a decline in searches for metallic shoes, including a double-digit decline for metallic sneakers. Instead, logos are making their way to shoes and will reign supreme in 2019. You'll see logos on everything from sneakers to heels from some of our favorite designers like Prada, Gucci, and Versace." — Alison Stiefel

"The platform sneaker trend is winding down, with the dad sneaker holding on strong and taking its place for 2019. Styles from Balenciaga and Fila are leading the trend on ShopStyle." — Alison Stiefel

Up next, the 2019 way to style all of your airport outfits.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
