Sandal Season Has Officially Arrived—7 Chic Pedicure Colours We're Booking in for

Summer has arrived and we're currently experiencing a heatwave in London, which can only mean one thing: it's time to book in a pedicure. If you're anything like me, your feet may be a little neglected after hiding them away under winter boots over the past season, and with the likes of mesh ballet flats trending for summer along with your classic strappy styles, our feet are going to be on display more than ever.

Often an overlooked detail, a pedicure can elevate your whole outfit and make you look and feel polished. And with so many pedicure colours to choose from, there are endless trends to pick, whether you're looking for a pedicure colour to see you through your holiday, a special occasion, or just want to refresh your look in time for spring.

Having just ordered a pair od sandals myself, I I spoke to celebrity pedicurist Milly Mason—who is responsible for keeping the likes of Elsa Hosk and Rochelle Humes' feet in tip-top condition—who told me the pedicure colours and trends that we'll all be wearing this year. Scroll ahead for all the inspiration that you'll need, as well as some editor-inspired shades to try next.

See the Chic Pedicure Colour Trends to Try in 2024:

1. Neutral French

The classic French have been creeping back onto your fingers, and it's making its way into a our pedis now too. "This season I see it all coming back to matching mani and pedicures with popping colours of pastels, or a clean pastel french pop for colour on your tips and toes," says Mason. "With fashion looks be super minimal the complimentary tips and toes brings an outfit together with a pop of colour." Opt for classic white French tips, or go for a pastel hue if you want a colourful tips.

2. Matcha Green

"My favourite shade for the upcoming season is green," says Mason, and she has some recommendations on colours to ask for in the salon. "I love a faded fluoro green like Brighton Rock from The GelBottle’s new Daisy’s Diner collection. Or any of the shades from The Gel Bottle pastel collection." We're particularly enamoured with matcha and pistachio tones for 2024, which be sure to put a spring in your step for sandal season.

3. Sheer Pink

"If colour isn’t your thing on your toes, a sheer pink like The GelBottle in chiffon with a pearly chrome finish looks super fresh and chic," says Mason. When I asked the Who What Wear UK team to share their favourite pedi colours, they also confirmed that it's a timeless classic they reach for. Soft pink hues suit every skin tone, and will always go with everything in your wardrobe. Plus, any chipping is less noticeable with this pedicure colour, making it a long-wearing colour option to get your pedi to last that little bit longer if you're heading on a long holiday this year.

4. Black

An unexpected colour we're seeing all over IG is black, and it feels sophisticated and chic again. It's a great choice if you're wardrobe is monochromatic in colour but it will also go with whatever you choose to wear. It's the LBD of pedicure colours, and it always has a glossy shine that makes it feel expensive too.

5. Sheer White

Another pedi hue Who What Wear editors always return to is white. Sheer finishes are trending right now as they brighten the nail plate, leaving your toes looking polished.

Shop the look:

6. Burgundy

A timeless colour we'll forever choose for our toes in burgundy. While it has its autumn/winter connotations for our manicures, on toes, it feels like a colour we can wear year-round when you want your feet to look polished. When in doubt, go deep red.

Shop the look:

7. Ecru

While opaque white nail polishes can sometimes look too stark, creamy ecru and off-white colours look great on toes. Look for nail colours that have a touch of cream, pink or lilac to them or a softer effect.
