The 3 Shoes a Stylist Wants You to Retire Before Spring

Yes, I'm aware that this winter seems never-ending, but hear me out. While the winter drones on, I'll be prepping my closet ahead of time so I'm ready to break out my freshest pieces at the first signs of spring. Which brings me to another topic I'm always game to discuss: shoes. If you looked at the current state of my shoe rack, boots and other wintery staples would fill your view, but it's about time I do some spring-cleaning. 

To get some intel on which pairs to ditch and the spring shoe trends I should replace them with, I reached out to celebrity stylist Andrew Gelwicks. He shared three shoe styles, in particular, he wishes you'd just ditch already—consider these the heels, boots, and flats that need to go. "All of these trends have been played out," he noted, "and it's time to bring in new ideas." We couldn't agree more, which is why we're jumping the gun with spring trends to ensure you're as prepped as possible going into next season.

Keep reading to find out the outdated styles Gelwick's recommends tossing; then shop the new spring shoe trends that will take their place.

"Instead of sock boots, go for a leather or suede boot with a tall, skinny heel. It has the same narrowing effect, but is so much sexier and chicer. Sergio Rossi has a great tall suede boot option I love. It can be easily paired with whatever you're trying to rock."
"I would love to say goodbye to massively chunky sneakers that are used as everyday shoes. If you want to do more casual flats, instead of choosing sneakers, opt for nice loafers. They're classic, sleek, and still keep you comfortable."
"Ditch the socks under the heels, and play around with jewelry for the feet—anklets, toe rings, etc. Jennifer Fisher makes some of my favorite jewelry and their anklets are just as good. I love their chain link ones—they are dainty but still have a bit of edge to them."

Next, the heel trends a podiatrist loves and loathes.

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...
