Hello, and happy Tuesday to all the amazing ladies out there reading CF! I’m so excited for this part of our preppy style series. 

As a preppy girl myself, I am obsessed with shoes, and while all of us differ in style and preference, there are some universal shoe styles we all adore.

Like Marilyn says, having the right pair of shoes empowers you. It allows you to love yourself to go out and conquer the world. Shoes bring out a strength that was always there inside you and give you a fun way of expressing it. In fact, growing up, my mum designed children’s shoes, so I’ve had a lifelong passion! 

So without further ado, I present to you the must-have shoes that every preppy girl should own:

The Jack Rogers

Sandals: Jack Rogers

Inspired and commissioned by my personal favorite style icon, Jackie Kennedy, Jack Rogers sandals are the definition of preppy. Their intricate stitching is beautifully done and very elegant. 

In the summer these sandals are everywhere! They come in so many different combinations of colors and are all around flawless. And when fall and winter rolls around, this amazing brand also makes sneakers, flats, and boots, so be sure to check those out, too!

The Riding Boot

Boots: Lauren Ralph Lauren (DSW)

A lot of preppy style is inspired by an equestrian theme and these boots are no exception. They are sleek and simple yet incredibly beautiful. While you can wear riding boots many times throughout the year, I personally enjoy wearing them the most in the fall. Put on some jeans and a classic sweater and you are set to go to class! 

I also have to mention that these boots last such a long time. If you wear leather, it’s definitely worth the investment to purchase a pair made with that material. That way, they will last you for many years.
