Boots might be the unofficial shoe of fall, but I’m ready to give my favorite dresses a little more variety this season. Between expensive-looking loafers, suede mules and retro sneakers, there are so many chic ways to style a dress without reaching for knee-high boots. And if the rich-girl aesthetic is your thing, these alternatives might be even better than your usual fall footwear.

The best part? You don’t need a closet full of designer shoes to make your favorite dresses look expensive. We’re leaning on chocolate brown ballet flats for date nights, gold-accented loafers for the office and sporty sneakers for casual weekends. Whether you’re dressing up a cozy sweater dress or adding a little personality to a flowy midi, these 13 Amazon finds make it easy to nail the look for as little as $19.

13 Rich-Girl Fall Shoes to Wear With Dresses

Sneakers

1. Our Favorite: If you’re into the suede trend, these taupe platform sneakers deserve a spot in your closet. The vintage-inspired stripes, gum soles and memory foam insoles deliver both sporty style and everyday comfort.

2. Sporty Sophistication: These retro-inspired sneakers look like the kind of designer kicks you’d spot on a fashionable mom running errands in the Hamptons. The creamy beige color, tan suede accents and contrasting black details make them a chic match for casual fall dresses.

3. Everyday Luxe: Consider these cream-and-taupe sneakers the casual alternative to your favorite designer flats. The streamlined silhouette and neutral color combination make them a surprisingly elevated partner for ribbed knit dresses.

4. Crochet Crush: These woven sneaker mules are what happens when your favorite summer sandals meet sporty fall footwear. The intricate ivory weaving and gum soles give them a boutique-looking finish that’s especially cute with flowy midi dresses.

Mules

5. Suede Sophistication: These suede leather mules have the kind of expensive-looking finish you’d expect from a designer shoe. Between the gold hardware and backless silhouette, they’re practically begging to be paired with a cozy sweater dress.

6. Office Chic: Who says you need heels to make a sweater dress feel sophisticated? These sleek pointed-toe mules have a classic penny loafer-inspired strap and backless design that works just as well for office days as dinner dates.

7. Fashion-Forward: Consider these Western-style heeled mules the shoe equivalent of a statement handbag. The decorative stitching, pointed toe and flared kitten heel bring major fashion editor energy to an otherwise simple fall dress.

Loafers

9. Bestseller Alert: Over 9,700 shoppers gave these classic black loafers a five-star rating, and they’re currently Amazon’s No. 1 bestseller. The sleek microsuede finish and minimalist silhouette make them an easy match for everything from knit dresses to office-ready midis.

10. Designer Energy: If you’ve been eyeing pricy loafers, these horsebit-style beauties deserve your attention. The glossy-looking finish, gold hardware and low block heel give them a luxe appeal that instantly dresses up a simple knit midi.

Flats
