Whilst the middle of winter typically calls for a black chunky boot that can fair the odd puddle with grace, two of my favourite celebrities have recently retired theirs in favour of a (slightly) less practical but far more fun design, readying me for spring in the process.
Just this week, I’ve seen both Hailey Bieber and Emma Stone wearing easy trouser looks with bright-red flat shoes. Spotted out in L.A. and New York respectively styling the growing trend this week, Bieber wore hers with a longline leather trench coat, and black leather tote bag, blue jeans and a grey jumper. Needless to say the addition of some vibrant red shoes went a long way to inject some energy into her casual yet put-together look.
The red accessories trend first began ramping up last year, as celebrities swapped their black, brown and beige leather goods for the fiery new season shade. Quickly rippling into the high street brands began to produce and array of ruby products, which were swiftly snapped up by those in-the-know. Now, that spring 2024 is finally on the horizon, it looks like the style set are ready to make some room for the timeless—and seriously trending—shade again.
Worn in a similar relaxed fashion as Bieber, Stone opted for a light grey jumper and navy trousers pairing for her red-shoe outing. Finishing the look with minimal accessories, her red loafers were absolutely the intended focal point of the ensemble, and one I wouldn’t mind channelling myself as I too find my trusty ankle boots losing their appeal. From Duke + Dexters Croc effect leather loafer to H&M’s sleek pointed-toe slingbacks, the red flats trend is set for another stormer this season.
