Red High-Heel Shoes Are Tipped to Be Spring's Biggest Trend

Fashion’s inconspicuous days are far behind it, and its love affair with bold, statement footwear is taking the helm. From technicolour trainers to centre-stage flats, fashion people are coming to adopt the mindset that bolder is better—and it’s brought a wave of interesting footwear trends to the fore.

While I’ve been charmed by many of the trending styles filling my For You Page when it comes to statement shoes, there’s one standout I’ll always return to: the timeless red high heel. Through countless trend cycles, this striking shoe ensures a chic and elegant payoff whenever you wear it and remains my ultimate favourite.

From fiery scarlets to deep crimson hues, red high heels offer an elegant burst of colour and a playful touch of drama to any ensemble. They have an uncanny ability to transform an outfit, energising even the simplest looks with their bold essence.

More than just a fleeting trend, red high heels have cemented their place as a runway staple this season. Designers such Stella McCartney, Acne Studios, and Saint Laurent all embraced the vibrant shoe within their spring/summer 2025 collections and assuring us that the red colour trend is far from over.

Far easier to style than you might have initially thought, these chic high heels pair particularly well with classic tailoring for a pop of colour in an otherwise neutral ensemble, but also look chic worn with playful prints to double down on their eye-catching charm. And, of course, they can breathe new life into jeans, too.
