Trend We Love: The Best Red Shoes For Women
There is no denying that red is the colour of the season. From statement tights to festive frocks, hues of scarlet, merlot and ruby are everywhere right now, including footwear. From velvet flats that will elevate your favourite pair of jeans to jewel-encrusted heels that are like works of art in themselves, here are our ultimate red shoes for women edit…
There is no better time to wear pillar box red than at Christmas, but the head-turning hue has been such a huge player this AW23 that we have truly fallen in love with it all year round. If head-to-toe red isn’t for you, one of the easiest ways to wear it is via your accessories.
And red really plays to all styles of shoe, from vampish slouchy boots in butter-soft suede to prim Mary-Janes in sumptuous velvet and sexy heels with architectural shapes or glamorous jewel detailing.
On the high street, look to Mango for their riff on The Attico’s metallic open-toe heels (but for £700 less) and pair with straight-leg denim and an oversized men’s cashmere knit for a cosy but fashion editor-cool take on party dressing.
If flats are more your thing, red has the ability to make even the comfiest of shoe feel a little bit more polished. We love Zara’s block-heel Mary-Jane with a more modern square-toe. Wear with black ski-pants and a roomy bomber for a contemporary look.
Whilst H&M’s sling-back ballet pumps look great with this season’s unexpected red tights trend, a wool mini skirt and chunky roll-neck jumper. Throw over a navy or grey coat for an extra layer in a shade that works really well with pillar box red.

If you’re looking to invest, you cannot go wrong with a pair of Manolo’s. Trust us when we say their Maysalebi will not date and they don’t come much more glam than in hot red.
Equally as beautiful, Magda Butrym’s romantic rose-detail shoes have been worn by the likes of Hailey Bieber, Gemma Chan and Natalie Portman, and they will without doubt add some red carpet elegance to all your after-hours looks. We love them best paired with a black tux suit and a smoky eye.
Whilst Paris fashion set favourite, Carel, are the perfect investment option if you’re after an everyday shoe that will still elevate a look. Make like Instagram star Tiffany Lai and pair with double denim and cosy knits.
