The best way to walk into a new season is with a great pair of shoes.

Not-so-mellow-yellow shoes

Lemon, sunshine and saffron are all big colors for spring. Can’t wear these bright, cheer-up hues from head to toe? Then focus on just your feet and play Cinderella with one of these perky styles.

Cool clogs

These aren’t your mama’s clogs—they’re higher than flats and way less scary than stilettos. Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs liked the embellished and streamlined styles this season, and so will you once you find yourself a comfy n’ chic pair to call your own.

Nude heels

You might have to wait until late spring’s bare-legged days to wear these bad boys, but you’ll be glad you did: Skin-tone-matching shoes in tan, ivory, brown or camel will make legs seem miles long.

Peep-toe booties

The perfect between-season shoes have arrived in the form of cool peep-toe booties. Wear them with tights now, then pair them with bare legs when the sun starts its full-time stint in May.

Floral-print shoes

Why should your spring dresses get all the good stuff? Heels and platforms sprinkled with perky blooms make hitting the pavement—or the dance floor—10 times more fun
