The shoes every woman should own before they turn 30.

By ANGELICA XIDIAS.

There is undeniably no better feeling than ringing in a new season with a much needed wardrobe update. And while it’s a given that you have a number of staple styles that transcend both the test of time and the limitations brought about by seasonal dressing, the same can be said for your collection of shoes. Think of these styles (read: the versatile mule, sandals and heeled boots) as the equivalent of those jeans you find yourself wearing all year around or that T-shirt you never want to take off. As such, we thought it only best to compile a guide to the shoes every woman should own by the time they turn 30.

Scroll down to count how many pairs you’re yet to invest in. And, start adding any styles you're missing to your wish list ready to shop at Vogue Online Shopping Night presented by American Express, kicking off at midday on Wednesday, April 1 and running until midnight on Thursday, April 2.

Sandals.
Sandals are a year-round staple therefore there is no excuse for you not to own at least one pair, but in all seriousness, you most definitely need multiple—think a casual pair for any warm weather vacation locations and a dressy pair for the resort bar.

Mules.
The mule is once again taking the fashion set by storm as It girls take to the streets outside some of your favourite shows sporting the staple style. Whether in a neutral hue or bold and bright colour, the mule has the ability to elevate even the most basic ensemble.

Ankle boots.
Think of these as your go everywhere staples that provide not only comfort but a chic finishing touch to any outfit, especially in the cooler months. And don't think you have to opt for plain black or tan, instead inject your wardrobe with a splash of print or unexpected finish to keep this staple interesting and fresh. If black is your thing though, no problem, look to cowboy boot hardware or sculptural heels for something a little different.

Stilettos.
Take your basic jeans and T-shirt look from day to night or desk to dinner with help of a pair of classic stiletto heels. Varying in height and hue, this style is the perfect date night outfit addition.

Heeled boots
Most definitely a prerequisite in every closet, you can’t go wrong with a pair of heeled boots. This autumn, try this season's on-trend over-the-knee or chunky-soled options.

Sneakers.
Sneakers are a street style star go-to and for good reason, these versatile shoes are about as comfortable as they get and have the ability to dress down even the chicest ensemble. This season anything goes from retro grandpa-style to low-profile Converse kicks.

Kitten heels.
Elegant, feminine and the perfect go-to style, kitten heels can be worn with everything from your favourite denim jeans to your work-appropriate trousers or maxi dress for a look that screams chic.

Slides.
Whether you’re a fan of the style or not, slides aren’t going anywhere anytime soon so why not invest in a pair of your own? But let's be honest, we're all rejoicing at the thought of being able to wear a comfortable pair of Birkenstocks wherever we see fit—thank you Olsen twins.

Loafers.
Loafers are a classic style of shoe that have proven time and time again that they're wardrobe staples, and if that wasn’t reason enough to invest in a pair of your own then their versatility.
