6 Expensive-Looking Shoe Color Trends That Will Go Viral This Year

If you're like me, you probably have enough black shoes at this point, and with spring on the horizon, you're probably ready to add some fresh color into your wardrobe. We talk a lot about shoe trends here at Who What Wear, but a more niche subject is shoe color trends. Yes, they're definitely a thing, and they're usually in line with the overarching color trends during any given season. Now that we've entered a new year, the shoe color trends for spring have revealed themselves.

Part of the appeal of black shoes is that they look expensive. That said, I've been studying the spring/summer 2025 runways for months now, and I can assure you that the shoe color trends I'm zeroing in on look equally as expensive. I think you'll find that they'll work with plenty of things in your wardrobe. Without further ado, scroll on to see the six biggest shoe color trends of the season and shop the best pairs in each colorful category.

First up is gray, the color trend that I spotted on the highly influential Prada runway. Because it's a slightly unexpected choice, this cool neutral will make any outfits you wear it in look more interesting.

Olive green is one of my favorite shoe color trends, as it goes with absolutely everything. It was prominent on the Gucci runway, which is always a strong indicator of shoe color trends.

Baby-blue shoes are no longer reserved for brides. The pretty pastel trend, which was a standout on Chanel's S/S 25 runway, will give your 2025 outfits an Upper East Side touch.

Navy is the preppy trend that's been making a strong comeback recently. If you're missing black shoes, this color trend is for you. Also, it made its way down the buzzy Miu Miu and Tory Burch S/S 25 runways, which is a big deal.

Butter yellow is already everywhere this winter, and I expect the trend to rise dramatically as we inch closer to spring. I can't stop thinking about this Tod's pair from the S/S 25 runway.

Pale Pink

Pale pink is already the biggest color trend of 2025, hands down. It appeared on countless spring/summer 2025 runways, and no one in fashion can stop talking about the powder-pink takeover.
