Click through for six shoe replacements to step up your game this season.

Swap Minimal Trainers for Chunky Kicks: We've seen a steady rise in the popularity of dad sneakers over the last season. And you know what? The trend isn't slowing down anytime soon. So if you haven't given them a whirl yet, it's time to kick your clean white sneaks to the side in favor of multi-colored clunksters. Brit + Co Pick: Mango Platform Lace-Up Sneakers ($80)

Swap Basic Heels for Sculptural Heels: While your classic black pumps or sandals will always hold their own, top designers are bringing the drama this spring with unusual designs featuring geometric shapes. Brit + Co Pick: Jacquemus Les Olbia Sandals ($673)

Swap Ballet Flats for Loafers: Okay, okay, ballet flats will never really go "out," but consider storing them in favor of a vibrant pair of loafers for a sophisticated and polished vibe. Brit + Co Pick: Dorateymur Han Serpent Loafer ($475)

Swap Flip-Flops for Sporty Sandals: Reserve your flip-flops for the beach or the pool, and embrace throwback Tevas for everywhere else. Sure, they may seem out there, but fashion insiders have prioritized these utility sandals. Brit + Co Pick: Teva Flatform Universal Sandals ($60)

Swap Black Ankle Boots for Technicolor Booties: You might have lived in your black ankle boots all winter long, but spring is about experimenting with head-turning hues. Meaning: Go bold with a colorful pair of booties to enhance your look. Brit + Co Pick: ASOS DESIGN Edina Heeled Ankle Boots ($65)

Swap Studded Stilettos for Feather Heels: As one of the biggest trends to dominate the runway and street style set, feathered heels and flats will add a playful twist to your shoe collection. These stunners also feel a bit more modern and fresh than those studded silhouettes. Brit + Co Pick: Loeffler Randall Lilly Sandals ($348)
