If you've been tuning into the trend cycle then you might have noticed a new heavyweight player had entered the ring this season. Newly in the wardrobes of the most stylish people I know, admire and follow, burgundy shoes are the winter-ready footwear trend that fashionable types refuse to ignore.
Be it a rouge mary jane, a merlot ballet flat, or a crimson loafer, those with elegant taste are banking on the burgundy shoe trend right now to ensure their looks have a glossy finish. Adding an easy wash of colour into their cold-weather attire, the rich hue of the grown-up shade is sophisticated and expensive-looking, whilst remaining easy to style across the season. In fact, I'd say it's just as versatile as brown or even black.
Inspired to give my wardrobe this winter-ready upgrade, below I've taken inspiration from the celebrities and influencers I love the most to identify the key burgundy shoe trends to know about, from ballet flats to boots. Read on to discover what I found.

1. BALLET FLATS
Style Notes: With a penchant for great flat shoe and a keen eye for new trends I wasn't surprised to spot Katie Holmes styling a covetable pair of burgundy ballet flats in New York. Wearing hers with relaxed denim and an oversized shirt, Holmes used her sophisticated shoe to weave an elegant element into her relaxed day-time look.
