Including flats inspired by Katie Holmes’s designer pair.
Labor Day weekend—and the week before—are the best times to score deals on clothes, shoes, and accessories to refresh your closet for fall. But as a shoe aficionado, I have my eye on a plethora of footwear deals with which to enter the new season in style. Right now, celebrities have been my source of inspiration for fall footwear trends, and I’ve found major markdowns on lookalike options to some styles I’ve repeatedly seen on the celeb street-style scene.
From Katie Holmes’s edgy twist on ballet flats to Meghan Markle’s timeless slingbacks, I’m filling my cart this Labor Day with deals on the biggest shoe trends for fall, from Nordstrom, Zappos, and Shopbop—and starting at a reasonable $45.
