Step Into This Season’s Coolest Footwear Trend

31st October 2024 | By Ashling McCloy

This year, we’ve seen fashionable feet slip into boat shoes, loafers and all manner of trainers, but now with the party season fast approaching, it’s time to glam up the proceedings. Enter: seriously shiny silver shoes… from slingbacks to cowboy boots, these are the heels to be seen in.

Metallics have quickly become classics within our wardrobes, much like animal prints. They work with almost anything from pared-back tailoring to more edgy leathers and, as we sashay into the festive period, with dresses and sequins. And now, we’re talking about metallic accessories, specifically silver shoes. They walked the runways at Isabel Marant and Jil Sander and have since popped up with leading footwear labels, such as Aeyde, Bobbies and Flattered. Then, on the high street you can expect to find an influx of silver flats, heels and boots.

Arket’s ballerinas resemble molten metal, while H&M’s pumps are as shiny as stainless steel. Square toes are also in favour, as seen at Aeyde and Jil Sander. For a whole selection of everything from silver heels to metal-tone loafers, check out Harvey Nichols. The famed store stocks all the leading names, including Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and current cult fave, Ganni. Speaking of which, the Ganni flats have been the most sought-after of the season, available in a rainbow of shades and now also silver. Be sure to snap them up before they go.

If you prefer more laid-back dressing, whether that’s androgynous oversized suiting or jeans, adding a metallic is all the glam you’ll need. Walking into AW24, be more Isabel Marant; step into your cool girl era.

Slingbacks, ballerinas and pumps have been given a modern metal makeover. Silver footwear has never looked so sleek.
