Puffy, flowing hot pink gowns were the surprise hit on the red carpet at the Oscars this year. Worn by the likes of Gemma Chan, Linda Cardellini, and Kacey Musgraves, to name a few, many of these fluffy frocks flowed with fabric excess and shouted, let’s Netflix and cuddle on the couch in my dress.
As fashion blogger Maggie Griswold said of Chan’s “huge” gown: “reminds me of a comforter — in a good way.”
Unexpected, also in a good way! And a trend for all of us fashionistas to enjoy: fun and flashy ultra-comfort. Luckily, this hot trend translates to shoes this spring too. But how can you make comfy look hot on your feet?
It’s possible! And to help, we’ve put together a list of the top five best spring shoes on trend in 2019.

Velcro Sandals with Socks
These athletic-style, chunky, practical 90s-throwback walking sandals are ready to be all the rage once warm weather hits. Already seen on celebrities during Spring Fashion Week, some sporting cute socks too, they also made their way onto the runway in collections by Cecilie Bahnsen, Sandy Liang, and Anna Sui.
Teva is the strappy “tourist sandals” original but designers including Marc Jacobs, Prada, Gucci, and Free People have embraced the sport sandal as well.
Wear them with skirts and colorful socks, like hot pink or neon, to be sporting 2019 shoe trends.
Neon on All Your Best Spring Shoes
Hot pink neon shoes to match that hot pink dress, as if you’re on the red carpet, are a fun place to start for any shoe style you go for this spring. Summer pop yellow, bright sea-foam green, cobalt blue, fluorescent red, you will find these colors everywhere atop runway shoe styles like sporty sandals, chunky sneakers, pumps, boots, and slides.
Daddy Sneakers Running Hot
You probably have a pair of boyfriend jeans in your closet. This spring it’s time to add big daddy sneakers to the mix, as in stylish girly sneaks that look like the ones on Dad’s dogs. The fun part is the touches designers add to bring style to function, like neon pop, square flaps on high tops, and rainbow glitter on Gucci Sneakers!
Slip ‘n Slides
Slip into summery peep-toe slides, another of the spring shoe trends. Think Adidas pool shoes but in hot pink fabric or with a fun striped bow! Prada makes an embroidered denim slide that we love.
Pyramid Heels
If you want to fem it up with some height, you’re in luck with structure-loving strappy sandals or pumps where the chunk is all in the heel. Feeling the 60s boot vibe? Check out Sies Marjan ankle boots sitting atop the Egyptian structure. Chloe also mixes and matches with tall slides styled on the pyramid.
Enjoy the Icing on the Hot Pink Comforter Cake: Feathers, Crystals, Embroidery Oh My!
We can’t wait to be comfortable and stylish with the best spring shoes treading the runway and streets in 2019.
Have fun paring the other design trends atop your chunky sneaks, Velcro sandals, slides, neon, and funky heels, namely feathers, crystals, big buckles and embroidery. We’re especially in love with the Alexander McQueen-embroidered boots!
Also, be savvy when you shop this spring: Do it online, from the comfort of your couch, find what you’re looking for and think about a hot pink comforter until the weather warms up.
