Sorry to My Comfy Flats, But These Pretty Heels Are Going to Be Everywhere This Season

If there’s any indicator for the pieces we need to earmark as being the next big thing, it’s the runway shows staged in the fashion capitals of New York, London, Milan and Paris. Yet, of all the pieces paraded down the catwalk, it was the consignment of silver pointed heels that really piqued our interest.

Courtesy of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the current creative directors of Prada, this pretty party style commanded the Italian luxuriate’s spring/summer 2025. Apologies in advance too our comfiest flats, but as soon as I laid eyes on these I knew that we’d all be wearing them in six months' time.

This collection in particular was a celebration of personal style. There was a futuristic thread running through the collection, and while the wraparound silver sunglasses will appeal to a more directional customer, the pointed heels with silver toe caps have "cult best seller" written all over them.

I had already placed a pair of foil-coated pumps onto my personal shopping list after combing through the street style images from outside of the shows this fashion month, and it wasn't too long ago that we proclaimed silver ballet flats as a new essential footwear style for the fashion person.

Style Notes: Silver pointed pumps are used to add a statement accent to a classic black-and-navy look.

Over the past few seasons, showgoers have favoured comfort, wearing to-the-ground mary janes and comfortable ballet flats, but during Copenhagen Fashion Week back in August, I noticed that the fashion crowd had returned to heels. Admittedly, they were low, walkable versions. Among the Carrie Bradshaw–esque strappy sandals and kitten heel mules, I have spotted mirrored pointed heels bubbling up as a prominent micro-trend.

But it was the spring/summer 2025 collections that made the best case for wearing your fancy footwear in daylight hours, and these high-shine pumps arguably look even better with jeans and a T-shirt than anything sequinned or feathered.

If you are willing to invest, you'll find low-mirrored pumps at the likes of Jil Sander, Christian Louboutin, and Isabel Marant. Silver pointed heels are certainly taking over affordable retailers too, as the likes of ASOS, H&M, and Zara all have expensive-looking high-street options that will quickly become your most complimented shoes.

Style Notes: This look might typically be paired with chunky boots or classic ballet flats, but the mirrored pumps that would traditionally be reserved for after-dark dressing are an off-beat styling choice that makes this outfit really sing.
