Wearing Red Shoes Is The Easiest, High-Impact Trend Of Summer
My favourite trends are often those that require minimum effort but deliver maximum impact. So when I noticed that there’s a pair of shoes you can add to any outfit to instantly give it a fashion edge, I was hooked. Red shoes are everywhere right now and, as someone who tends to veer away from bright colours, the versatility of this accessory has me rethinking things…
If we were to pinpoint the origin of this trend to a particular catalyst, it would have to be The Row’s sell-out Mara cage sandals. Sure, they’re jelly shoes, which became the temporary focus of headlines, but this trend has now somehow become bigger than the material they’re made from – they’ve sparked a widespread shift. From strappy sandals and ballet flats to kitten heels and flip-flops, red shoes are now ‘the’ accessory of the season.
Don’t believe us? Ask the cool girls of Instagram, or Miranda Priestly herself, spotted sporting red pumps on the set of The Devil Wears Prada sequel.
Style with a vibrant coord for a decidedly summer feel or, if you want maximum impact, team these eyecatching beauts with an otherwise neutral or monochrome outfit for a masterclass in contrast.
The Row’s sell-out Mara cage sandals have entered the fashion zeitgeist and show no signs of leaving.
From the cool girls of Instagram to Miranda Priestly herself, this punchy trend is certainly one to have on your radar.
