Instagram is the best personal stylist these days, showing us endless inspiration from our fashion influencers and street style stars.
Most of the time, it’s not the easiest thing to emulate their effortless style and sometimes way out of budget. But while we may not be able to purchase an entire Instagram-worthy outfit, we can always up our style game with trendy shoes.
If you’re looking for a quick round-up of the trending shoes of the season, we’ve got you covered. Best of all, you can look no further than home-grown retailer,
Charles and Keith.com to get these styles at a fraction of the cost.
1. Sneaker Fun

White sneakers are the hottest shoe trend, with almost every style star sporting this look in their
#OOTDs. From pairing it with jeans and t-shirts, to summer dresses, and even corporate looks, this former school uniform staple has become a must-have style accessory.
Even if you were never a sneakers person, these are easy to wear and can be easily be incorporated into your existing outfits. Far from making one look sloppy, sneakers actually add an edge to your look, giving you street cred.

2.Shake That Pom-Pom

It’s not a surprise that pom-poms have made their way onto shoes and bags after they swept the Fall 2015 runways, with designers like Gucci and Jimmy Choo making them the key feature of their shoes.
Since then, these fluffy little embellishments have been sported on the feet of
Aimee Song,
Julie Sarinana, and
Nellie Lim, showing us how to add a pop of colour and interest to any outfit.
Even if you’re not the adventurous sort, give it a go by opting for solid colored shoes with minimal pom-poms. We think these
Pom Pom Lace-up Sandals ($56.90),
Pom Pom Platform heels ($56.90), and
Pom Pom Slingbacks ($53.90) from Charles and Keith are easy to wear. These match with any outfit, even a formal look and we imagine they would be a great conversation starter!

3.The Glam Slippers

Whether it’s going to the neighbourhood market or shopping mall in town, Singaporeans love their slippers. It’s fuss-free and comfortable, but unfortunately, not a look everyone can pull off without looking sloppy.
Perhaps that’s why the slipper trend may be the most popular among Singaporean girls, because it elevates the humble slipper to a luxe level. These new slip-on styles range from minimalist, embellished to multi-colored, and are definitely not for wearing to the beach. In fact, we’ve spotted our favourite fashion influencers wearing these with formal dresses and pants for that “I just threw this together” vibe.
