‘I have too many shoes’—said no woman ever; after all, there are always countless options and styles to choose from every season. However, if you are bored of the basics, we got you covered.

Scroll down below for the best picks to add to your closet!
The Not-So-Basic Sneakers
If there’s something we love more than our favourite pair of white sneakers, it’s the one with cute doodles on it. Love to inject a bit of color in your look? Experiment with striking pop color accents that will brighten the dreariest of days.
Pro Tip: Pair it with your ripped mom jeans and a basic tee for your daily grocery runs or dress it up with a pant-suit for your Monday morning meetings; it’s that versatile.

The Classic Pump
Pumps are the LBD of the footwear world; everyone needs one. While a pair of tan pumps can elevate any outfit, our latest obsession is the Mary-Jane inspired silhouette that’s anything but basic.
Pro Tip: Style a pair of nude pumps with your favourite poplin shirt and denims for a casual day look; switch it with a structured LBD for a night-out in town.

Embellished Juttis
A jutti for every occasion? Yes please! From pompoms, embellishments, tassels, ornate bead work to floral accents and vivid prints, there’s nothing as versatile as juttis right now. Be it the upcoming festivities or a brief gateway to a tropical paradise, this one deserves a place in your closet STAT.
Pro Tip: While it complements every piece in your ethnic wardrobe (lehengas, shararas, kurta sets, saris etc), it also looks stellar with culottes, palazzos, jumpsuit and even a sundress!

Updated Mules
If you love the 90’s fashion, then the chic mule is just what your stylist ordered. The slip-on footwear isn’t just comfortable and stylish but also hits the right spot between everyday style and special occasions.
Pro Tip: Pair this with your favourite slip dress and an oversized blazer for a sophisticated evening look.

Chic Wedges
Supportive and stable, wedge sandals are everything you would ever want in footwear. Not only are they comfortable enough to wear all day long but can be styled with almost everything you own including trousers, dresses and shorts.
Pro Tip: Swap your favourite stilettos for a pair of sky high wedges when you want to dance all night long.

Statement Kolhapuris
The iconic Kolhapuris (hailing from Kolhapur in Maharashtra) has been a part of our traditional wardrobe since eons. What we are loving though, is the latest update featuring heels and even pop colors for that old-meets-new vibe.
Pro Tip: While flat Kolhapuris are a classic, branch out a little and opt for a block-heeled one in shades of pink, blues or greens for an exciting twist.

Pro Tip: When styling your statement heels, remember not to over-accessorize and let this be the showstopper that it is meant to be.
