We wear them from morning to night, choosing them for days at the office, running errands, and evenings out. But when it comes to deciding which shoes to pair with them, especially at this time of year, the question isn’t always easy to answer.

03. Ankle Boots
One of the season’s most popular combinations is wide-leg pants paired with low-heeled ankle boots. Animal-print styles (which remain one of this fall’s biggest trends) are perfect for adding an unexpected twist to everyday outfits.

05. Suede Mules
If you’re tired of wearing the same old pumps, consider finishing off your more sophisticated outfits with a pair of suede wedge mules. Not only do they flatter and elongate your silhouette, but they’re also incredibly comfortable to wear.
