As fashion enthusiasts worldwide tuned into the exhilarating whirlwind of Fashion Month, one thing was clear: there was a cool new shoe trend that captivated the street style scene and now, I'm seeing it all over my Instagram feed, too. Silver slingback shoes have become an unexpected focal point of this season's footwear collections. Born on the autumn/winter runway, silver was destined to be a main trend player this season, though designers notably focused their attention on shimmery clothes as opposed to shoes. Now, while I certainly appreciate the fanciful side of fashion, I do admit that silver isn't always the easiest colour to wear in day-to-day life (if, however, you work it into to your repetoire, more power to you!). So, it makes sense that fashion people have worked out the easiest way to do so; cue the silver slingback.
With their metallic sheen and futuristic charm, silver slingback shoes are a fun statement piece that can instantly breathe new life into everything, from summer’s white maxi skirt to your most well-worn jeans. Though slingbacks seem to be the most popular silhouette, the trend is also crossing over into boots to trainer territory. So there’s a high chance you’ll find a silver shoe to suit your aesthetic.
Not just an accessory but, apparently, the main outfit event, scroll below to see the best silver slingback shoes on the market right now, then proceed to shop more silver shoe types.

Prada was one of the first designers to champion the silver shoe trend, and did so in slingback form. Although the brand's pairs are now sold out, there's plenty of silver slingback shoes still on the market.
