Black Shoes Are Eternally Chic But These 7 Colour Trends Are Taking Over Instead This Summer

There’s nothing like finding a staple piece that you can rely on, no matter the occasion. For most of the year, these are my black shoes. Timeless, endlessly versatile and undeniably chic, black shoes in any style are guaranteed to leave me feeling put-together time and time again. However, although black footwear will never leave my capsule wardrobe, I have found myself feeling a little bored of always relying on the same colour. So for summer 2025, I’ve decided to invest in some new shoe colours to elevate my outfits.

As a minimalist, swapping out my neutral clothes for trendier hues felt too drastic and way out of my comfort zone. Shoes, however, are a much gentler way of injecting colour and adding more interest to my summer looks. Contrasting my white midi dress or black linen trousers with a stand-out shade will look cool and elevated, but the smaller silhouette of the shoe will still allow my outfits to feel effortless and remain on the elegant side of dressing.
