Trust Me—This Shoe Color Could Surpass Black in Popularity in 2025

1 day ago 6

As we move into 2025, a shift toward bold, sophisticated, and distinctive color choices is on the horizon. One burgeoning color trend is burgundy, a rich, deep shade of red that marries luxury and versatility. The last three runway seasons saw record showings of the hue, starting with the spring/summer 2024 collections from brands such as Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Ferragamo. Since then, the trend has trickled down to one category most impressively: footwear. Yep, burgundy is fast becoming fashion's favorite alternative to black when it comes to shoes, and celebs have been more than welcoming.
