Throw those flip-flops to the back of the closet and get ready to step out in style with fall’s four must-have footwear fashions. Whether you dare to try snake print or stay classical with loafers, these picks will leave your feet looking stylish and add the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.

1. Snake Print

Say goodbye to leopard because fall 2011 is all about the snake. From Prada to Yves Saint Laurent, designers have fallen in love with this chic print. Add a bit of edge to any little black dress when you throw on these printed heels. Stay away from outrageous prices by opting for faux-snake print instead.

2. Heeled Loafers

Changing up a classic doesn’t always yield great results but this combination really works. The traditional penny loafer has been updated with the addition of a heel resulting in a sophisticated and fun fall shoe. Wear the shoes with a pair of slacks to achieve a professional look, perfect for interviews.

3. Chunky Heels

This is one trend your feet will be extremely grateful for. Chunky heels are way more comfortable than stilettos and they work with just about any outfit. From boots to pumps, a chunky heel is the perfect fashion forward accessory. Bonus points if you can combine the chunky heel with another great trend, color blocking (combining two colors that complement each other).

4. Suede

A pair of colorful suede pumps is a must have this fall. They won’t just leave your legs looking stunning, they’ll also add an elegant touch to any ensemble. Add a little flair and choose to go with a beautiful bold color such as purple. But remember, suede and rain don’t get along, so hold on to these babies for a sunny day.
