You don’t need a Chicago zip code to know about the Gold Coast style. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a haven for the city’s most affluent, located right on the coast of Lake Michigan. This luxurious neighborhood is filled with designer boutiques, multimillion-dollar mansions and of course, rich moms with old money style.
Walking around the neighborhood, I noticed similar shoes on everyone’s feet, including cutesy Mary Janes, sleek loafers, and the iconic Adidas sneakers loved by Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston and more. Whether you choose a pair for errands, work, brunches or anything in between, these 13 luxe shoes make you look like a wealthy Chicago socialite.
13 Gold Coast Rich Mom Shoes
1. Totally Timeless: The search ends for the most expensive-looking Mary Jane flats. I mistook them for real leather.
2. Boutique Find: Give sporty sneakers a boutique-like twist with these ribbon-lace kicks. They go with everything, so prepare to wear them 24/7.
3. Easy On: Instead of slides, opt for these pointed-toe mules that slip on just as easily (and actually elevate your aesthetic).
4. Laced Up: Beige, lace, ribbons! These dreamy sneakers lean more sophisticated than athletic, so you can wear them for Fridays at the office.
5. Luxe Leopard: Make a statement in these sassy leopard-print loafers that take a tee and jeans to ultra-polished heights.
6. Celeb Magnet: If you grab one pair of Adidas, let it be the classic Samba sneakers that have over 23,000 five-star ratings.
7. Designer Find: Consider this your sign to snag these quiet-luxury penny loafers on major sale. The shiny ‘C’ logo is the whole point.
8. Square-Toe Stunner: Mary Janes can look dated but not these modern wonders. They’re designed with matte leather and a chic square toe.
9. Slinging It Back: Combine a slingback silhouette, mini block heel and metallic finish, and you get these incredibly rich pumps. They’re 38% off, so run!
10. Two-Toned: Ever since Angelina Jolie wore two-tone flats, I’ve been eyeing this fall-coded knit version.
11. Burgundy Babe: Whether you call them ‘backless loafers’ or ‘pointed-toe mules’ is up to you; either way, these shiny burgundy shoes serve such classy vibes.
12. Cool Mom: Look like a Chicago cool mom in these sleek, low-profile sneakers that should cost hundreds but are only $27.
13. Everyday Staple: Swap sneakers for this suede flats style and feel instantly more put together. I love the soft fabric and gold hardware for fall.
