Embarking on new season fashion trends might feel intimidating, but dipping a toe into the world of new shoe trends can often feel a whole lot more manageable. After all, not only do they take up a smaller percentage of your look than a head-to-toe outfit but they’re also much easier to switch out for an emergency spare pair should you regret your choice by lunch time.
But what are the shoe trends this festive season?
Whether you’re a heel wearer or into comfier kicks, you’re looking for something that’ll make a statement or you’re in the market for a timeless new pair that’ll see you through several seasons to come, autumn/winter 2023 has got it all.
Here are the 7 key shoe trends that you’re about to start noticing everywhere…
1. SHARP POINTS
After years of the square-toe reigning supreme, it’s time for a new silhouette to take centre stage. While the rounded-toe might be popular in the world of ballet flats right now, thankfully it’s not the shape we’re seeing across the rest of the industry. Instead, it’s all about the point. And not just any point… The sharper, more aggressive the point on your shoe, the more on-trend it is. Whether you’re shopping for boots or courts, stilettos or flats, if your shoe looks like it could potentially puncture a football you’re on the right track. Unless, of course, you’re a footballer.
2. SILVER METALLICS
Nothing says party season like a little metallic action. But while we have a few more months to wait until those Christmas events kick off, some of our favourite fashion houses have decided to bring the party forward ever so slightly, with some pretty major silver footwear options for winter. The perfect way to zhush up a full-length knit, to offset an angelic white tight moment or bring a high fashion edge to your date night look, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t sold the minute we spotted the first pair hit the runway.
