As March approaches, it's common to observe a transition in footwear choices, with many individuals moving away from heavy, dark-colored shoes to more breathable and lighter options. For instance, last year showcased a noticeable shift among in-the-know fashion people, who set aside black and brown flats and heels in favor of styles featuring softer colors like butter yellow and sage green. So, what can you expect this spring? Pink shoes will dominate the fashion scene.

Various designers have confirmed on the runways that pink footwear is the must-have accessory for spring. Heritage brands like Chloé, Carven, Ferragamo, Balmain, and The Attico showcased not only powder pink footwear but also a wide range of pink shades in their Spring 2025 collections. The options included everything from sophisticated rose pinks to vibrant bubblegum shades that add a playful pop of color and taffy-pink styles that evoke a fun, candy-coated aesthetic.

The silhouettes were equally diverse, featuring slingbacks from Balmain, ballet-inspired heels from Ferragamo, flip-flops from Chloé, open-toe mules from Carven, slides from Miu Miu, and strappy sandals from The Attico. This variety suggests that anyone can embrace the pink footwear trend regardless of personal style or footwear preference.
