Sorry, These 3 Shoe Trends Are Completely Flunking

Welcome to shoe trend school. Here, we use our in-house Who What Wear intelligence team to suss out which shoe trends are passing with flying colors and those that are flunking out. If you follow a lot of fashion girls in your feed, sometimes it can seem like everyone is wearing a certain trend, when in reality it’s a select, high-profile group that has purchased a certain style (or have all been gifted by the same brand, but that’s another story for another time). To find out which shoe trends are actually translating into purchases from women everywhere and those that aren’t, we tapped our expert commerce team for their perspective. Ahead, discover the top fall shoe styles that are making it through checkout and which trends are still languishing in the cart.

Cowboy boots have been widely adopted by It girls everywhere, and by now, just about every fast-fashion retailer offers a pair. If you're looking to get ahead of the trend cycle, we predict the 2.0 Western boots will be taller, sleeker, and a tad more '80s-inspired. Meanwhile, sneakerdrilles, or sneaker-espadrille hybrids, didn't reach a mass audience.

Curvy heels and toe-ring heels are both sleeper trends that started with a niche fashion audience. Curved heels ended there while toe-ring heels went on to major success. Celine pioneered the trend's re-emergence in eye-catching red and mix-and-match colors. How do we know the trend was successful? The Forever 21 knockoff sold out immediately. While our toe-ring heels are likely put away for colder weather now, we'll still be bringing them back come spring.

In a battle of the 2018 animal prints, leopard would most certainly win. But snakeskin is hot on its heels. There's a Zara snakeskin mini that has also gone viral, but the trend has been translated most widely on boots. While sock boots are still popular, thanks especially to the two-tone Celine pair, their rise can't be compared to the omnipresent snakeskin boots.

Next up, these seven boots trends are over, according to our editors.

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...
