The Ultimate Spring Shoe Capsule: 5 Stylish and Practical Picks!

in Capsule Wardrobes, Personal Style on 12/18/24

Spring is approaching (thankfully!) and that means warmer days, blooming flowers, and, of course, the perfect excuse to refresh your wardrobe and your shoes. But what it doesn’t mean is that you have to go crazy shopping for a bunch of random new shoes, ok? There are ways to transition to the new season without breaking the bank.

So it’s time to start packing away your winter boots, and busting out your spring shoes! How exciting!

🧐 But, which shoes? That is the question!

Instead of cluttering your closet with dozens of pairs, I find it’s best to focus on versatile, high-quality shoes that you can pair with basically any Spring look and can style for any occasion. A thoughtfully curated spring shoe capsule can simplify your life while keeping you looking stylish.

Today you’ll learn exactly how to create your own spring shoe capsule – I promise you need a lot less than you think. You’ll see.

Let’s dive into the 5 must-have styles for your spring shoe capsule, how to make the most of each pair of shoes and of course, some cute spring outfit ideas. Because, why not? 🙂


1. Stylish Leather Sneakers: The Everyday Essential

White Leather Sneakers - The Everyday Essential For A Spring Shoe Capsule!

A pair of stylish leather sneakers is the ultimate spring shoe staple. Whether you’re running errands, heading to brunch, or dressing down a cute midi dress, white leather sneakers are endlessly versatile.

Look for a comfortable pair with clean lines that can be worn with jeans, flowy skirts, dresses or even wide leg pants. Opt for materials like leather or canvas, depending on your style preferences and lifestyle. (keep in mind that leather ones are easier to clean, so even though they’re more expensive, they will last you a lot longer than Canvas!)

👟 Style Tip: You don’t have to stick with classic white sneakers! I love my white pair, but you can opt for a fun pattern or color that will add some instant personality to your look without sacrificing comfort!

Spring Shoe Capsule Essentials - Printed Sneakers

As you can see from the outfit ideas above, it’s easy to style either a white pair of sneakers or a patterned pair with a wide variety of spring outfits. But based on my own experience, white ones or neutral colors are way more versatile!

🎯 My favorite printed sneakers here.

PS: I travel the world full time while living out of this 20′ carry-on bag. Everything I’m recommending in this post is truly tried and tested. These are basically the only shoes I own.


2. Espadrilles: Effortlessly Chic (a spring shoe capsule favorite!)

Espadrilles are the epitome of springtime chic. I love them because they are comfortable, breathable, and can easily be dressed up or down. From flat to wedge styles, espadrilles in neutral tones or playful patterns are a perfect addition to your spring shoe capsule.

🌸 Style Tip: Consider your lifestyle and social calendar before deciding if you’re going to opt for a flat pair or a wedge style with a heel. If you prefer comfort and you’re on-the-go like me (I travel full time!) then a flat style might be the best way to go.

But if you have quite a few occasions where you need to dress up this Spring, then a wedge style like the one pictured below might make more sense for you.

3. Flat Leather Sandals: The Most Versatile Option!

Flat Leather Sandals: The Most Versatile Option For A Spring Shoe Capsule!

☀️ As the temperatures rise, flat leather sandals are a must-have for embracing warm spring afternoons, weekend errands and even more casual date nights! Look for pairs in timeless colors like tan, white, or black to ensure they match with nearly everything in your wardrobe.

I always travel with a pair of flat leather sandals. They take very little space and I can style them for pretty much any occasion when I’m on the road! I treat these sandals as my going-out shoes.

👌🏼 Style Tip: If you like to add a bit of something extra to your looks, minimalist designs with a small embellishment, or even a knot, can elevate your look without overwhelming it.

Want to purge your closet but don’t know where to start?

Let me help you with that! All you have to do is answer 7 questions.

I’ll tell you exactly what to do next depending on your closet score. Have fun with the quiz! ⬇️


4. Flats: A Chic & Comfortable Addition To Your Spring Shoe Capsule

Basic Flats: A Great Addition To Any Spring Shoe Capsule.

Flats, like ballet flats or pointed-toe options, are lifesavers for spring. They’re comfortable enough for all-day wear and elevate any outfit with ease. Plus, ballet flats have made a huge resurgence on the fashion scene, so you’ll be on-trend no matter what style you choose!

🥿 Style Tip: Choose shades like beige, taupe, or blush that complement most of your wardrobe. Fun details like scalloped edges or subtle metallic accents can add personality to your spring shoe capsule. Or, if you’re more of a “pop of color” kind of girl, red is the trending color for 2025!

🎯 Cute and super comfortable flats here.


5. Birkenstock Sandals: Casual Everyday Comfort

The Comfortable Everyday Sandals That You Need To Have In Your Spring Shoe Capsule!

For more laid-back spring days, Birkenstock sandals provide comfort and effortless style. I don’t think these iconic sandals have ever gone out of style. So they are definitely a great staple for anyone seeking practicality without compromising on aesthetics. Stick to neutral tones for maximum versatility.

🩴 Style Tip: You don’t necessarily have to buy the Birkenstock brand of these sandals. So many stores sell their own version of this style, all at different price points! You can easily find a pair that aligns with your budget, style and quality standards.

I will say though, these Birkenstocks last FOREVER! I wear mine almost every single day and walk many miles in them and I replace them once every 2 years more or less! Not a bad deal for $49.

🎯 This store has a great variety of waterproof Birkenstocks in the cutest colors!

🎯 If you’re more into the dressier Birkenstock style, then check out this page.


How to Build Your Own Spring Shoe Capsule! (practical tips)

1️⃣ Focus on Versatility: Choose styles and colors that can work with multiple outfits and occasions. Neutrals are your best friend, but don’t shy away from a pop of color if it’s something you love and it works with the rest of your wardrobe.

2️⃣ Prioritize Comfort: Look for shoes with supportive insoles and quality materials to ensure you’ll actually wear them. Don’t overlook this tip! Otherwise you’ll end up with a closet filled with cute shoes that you never wear.

3️⃣ Invest in Quality: A capsule wardrobe is all about having fewer items that last longer. This applies when creating your spring shoe capsule as well! Spend a little more on shoes that will hold up to frequent wear. I’ve experienced this and it’s a game changer as a full time carry-on traveler! 100% worth it.

4️⃣ Consider Your Lifestyle: Think about how and where you spend your spring days. Whether you’re constantly on the go or have more formal events lined up, tailor your spring shoe capsule to fit your own unique needs.


Final Thoughts About Creating A Spring Shoe Capsule:

A spring shoe capsule is all about blending style, comfort, and functionality.

With these five easy styles in your rotation, you’ll be ready for anything this Spring—from brunch with the girls to touring your favorite city. Simplify your spring wardrobe by investing in these 5 versatile shoe picks. I promise that styling yourself this spring will be much easier!

Less is always more when you choose the right pieces.

So if your closet is filled with a gazillion pairs of shoes you never wear, then consider doing a closet purge. You can take this fun quiz, answer 7 simple questions and I’ll send you a free email course on how to clean out your closet and find your personal style.

Hi, my name is Aimara and I am the voice behind Ways of Style. I was born and raised in Venezuela until the age of 27 when I moved to Chicago, and 2 years later I met my best friend and husband. We now travel full time and live out of a carry-on bag, so believe me, I know a thing or two about how to maximize every single piece I own. 

I love creating new looks, and looking cute while I’m traveling. And in this blog, I try to share all my outfits, even if I don’t have the best photos ;) My goal is to help you maximize every piece you have in your closet and to encourage you to live with less things.

What a crazy feeling when you start loving somethi What a crazy feeling when you start loving something you once thought was scary. It really makes you realize that fear is not real and exists only in your mind.

Never stop pursuing what sets your heart on fire. Even if it’s scary. And if you don’t know what that is yet, I encourage you to make the time to find out 💙

PS: this photo was taken on a scuba dive trip while in Cozumel a couple of weeks ago. If you ever find yourself there, do yourself a favor and do it with @scubatonycozumel 🤿 You will not regret it!

We are currently slow traveling through the Yucatan peninsula. We are having the time of our lives and documenting it all on @waysoftheworld_ 🌎 See you there? 🙃

Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different places and I needed different outfits but I didn’t have space to bring a whole new look. That’s when button down shirts + sneakers come handy! 

In the morning we went to the beach to snorkel and in the afternoon we explored Mayan ruins and had drinks and dinner. I needed sun protection and sneakers because they don’t recommend to walk the ruins in sandals (uneven terrain). I was able to change the wet bathing suit at the beach restaurant and didn’! get sunburn! Win win!!

PS: you can now shop all my looks via the @shop.ltk app ☺️ or via stories!

Back home after spending the best 3 months of my l Back home after spending the best 3 months of my life in Turkey 🇹🇷❤️

We definitely left a piece of our hearts there, but we also learned so much and we know we will be back many times! And it feels good to be with family this time of the year.

I know I didn’t do a good job at posting in here. Honestly, I thought it was going to be easier, but starting a new Instagram, blog and YouTube channel from scratch for @waysoftheworld_ took a lot more time than I ever thought it would! So now, I’ll try to share some of my favorite photos from this trip in here because it’s never too late 🙃

This one was taken in a small mediterranean town called Kas. It was one of our favorite places in all of Turkey! It’s the perfect vacation spot to just enjoy life 💕

Feels good to be back! Hope everyone has a great week ahead and thanks so much for being here!!

Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by h Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by how beautiful it is, all the different landscapes, the food, and above everything, the people ❤️

Looking back to a few weeks ago when I was really afraid of going on this trip, thinking about all the things that could go wrong, being a little upset with myself in a way for not wanting the traditional life path I always thought was my only choice; get married, buy a house, have kids, save money and travel when you retire. That’s not for me. 

I’m very happy I followed my heart 💕 I wrote a letter to myself on the blog: “What’s the best that can happen if the worst happens?” You can check it out by clicking the link in my bio. I hope it inspires you to think about what YOU really want in your heart, make a plan and go after it (but be patient). I promise that if I did it, so can you.

You have everything it takes ❤️

I basically only wear olive green and white now 😂 

Our days in beautiful Kas are almost over. I’m leaving a piece of my heart in this cute little town and we will definitely be back! Now it’s time to hop on a 6 hour bus to Pamukkale and see what that place is all about! 

Honestly, the only reason we are going there is because of me. G is not too crazy about it, but I’ve seen it on Instagram so much that I wanted to see for myself what the buzz was all about. So I’ll keep you posted on what it actually is!

If you are interested in knowing more about Kas (and all the amazing places we are visiting) we share a lot more on @waysoftheworld_ 💞 
We talk about useful tips, costs, best things we do, where we stay and so much more. I also update those stories daily! So I hope to see you there 🙃

Until next time friends 👋🏻

I was brave 💙 This was the most amazing experi I was brave 💙

This was the most amazing experience. I was SO nervous and anxious before but somehow I managed to push through and tried this very scary thing for the first time. And you know what I learned? That I loved it! I would do it again a million times! It wasn’t scary at all. It was all in my head and it wasn’t real. Also, they had the sweetest dog at the shop named Lucy that really help me not to think about it (swipe to see her 😍)

We didn’t do any crazy tricks like G did and it was a very peaceful flight. It’s up to you how you want to do it.

I can see why Ölüdeniz is one of the top places in the world to go paragliding. If you only want to do it once to cross it off your bucket list, this is the place you go to. We shared a post about with useful information in case you are interested. Link in bio + stories.

Would you do it? 🙃
