Top Moccasins for Women

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Forget the old-school moccasins, here's a shoe style that has ripened with age and is becoming it's own category. Fringy suede is the new black, as it brings back the lost art of tucking in jeans and screaming "look how badass my boots are" -- due credit to Ugg and mukluks for reviving this wonderful trend.

I've included some more laid-back styles of mocs as well, and even a thunderbird for old time's sake.

1. Anne Klein - 'Davis' Suede Mocs

Maybe more of a loafer than a moc, but when a shoe has contrast moc-style stitching on a rounded toe, I start thinking horses, not zebras. Wonderful in a wide array of colors, the suede varieties jump out at you.

2. Unisa 'Damian' - Stylish Leather Moccasins

Still casual, but a bit more polished than most of the styles on this list, these contemporary moccasins feature leather uppers, and come in several great colors. My favorite is the rust ('cause I'm flashy like that), but the camel and black versions are undoubtedly more versatile.

3. Minnetonka - Soft Sole 'Thunderbird' Moccasins

The old beaded thunderbird still warms the soul, and it's super-cute with jeans. In addition to this soft-soled version, there's a stiffer boat sole style, and a more cushioned crepe sole version. Whichever kind of sole you prefer, these moccasins should serve you well.

4. Minnetonka Moccasin - 'Tramper Boot'

The traditional moccasin posing as an ankle high boot. Great for tucking in jeans on casual days, these boots feature fringe collars and lace-up fronts.

5. Yellow Box "Annie" - Pretty Moc Loafers

This traditional cute moc loafer dazzles with its heart charm and silver metallic upper. Also available in bronze or brown, with contrast stitching, if the silver doesn't fit the occasion.
