Time to swap out your heavy winter boots and clunky brogues for something lighter and more colourful! For Spring, we’ve got our eyes on ’90s-inspired styles, stylish flats, sculptural heels and more — ideally in a classic colour palette and luxe materials like suede and leather. Ahead, seven pairs of shoes and sandals to add to your wardrobe. Padded heels are still trending, and this leather pair from Gia Borghini at TNT Woman is equal parts sporty and chic.   Wedges are back this season! These Maska leather wedge pumps would look great with wide-leg, pleated pants or a midi-length dress.   Fabiana Filippi’s mule heels, available at Andrews, are comfortable but also sculptural.   Like so many trends from the ’90s and early aughts, ballet flats are having a sartorial comeback. Grab this Miu Miu style from TNT Woman before it sells out.   Slip-on loafers are always a good idea in warmer weather.
