Blue Suede Shoes: Shop the Trend
We may be smack dab in the middle of winter, but that doesn't mean we can't dream about the warmer days ahead.
Spring will be here before you know it—and with it, a whole new crop of shoes.
The look we're currently obsessing over? Blue suede pumps! And while they're not necessarily the most practical of winter footwear, these royal beauties will add a much-needed jolt of color to your wardrobe.
From cobalt to teal to electric—this trend is definitely something to sing about.
We rounded up our favorite styles, in stores now, so all you have to do is shop.
It's pretty evident that color blocking isn't going anywhere for awhile. But if a mix of bright hues is just too much for you, opt instead for a tone-on-tone look. These dark blue and cyan suede pumps are the perfect compromise. Not too loud, but totally on trend.

Most of the season's new pumps are sans platform—but not all! If you just can't do without (and we don't blame you; a little extra height is a good thing), these statement-makers come in electric blue suede and have that added boost. It's a total win-win.

We're a little infatuated with these patent leather cap-toe pumps by YSL. The gorgeous teal offers a perfect splash of color—just what we need on dreary winter days. They make us think of tropical getaways, clear blue water, and those little drink umbrellas. Swoon.

Not ready to embrace a pointed toe? Perhaps this almond shape is more to your liking. The not-quite-round-not-quite-pointy style along with the jewel tone makes for a perfectly chic workday option. And, really, why invest in another pair of boring office pumps?
