Trust Me—The Brown Shoe Trend Will Be Autumn’s Most Important Buy

As we near the beginning of autumn I’ve noticed a rich and earthy shade make its way into the shoe collections of those I look to for style inspiration. Pushing aside their simple black pairs, this season the fashion set is opting for sleek brown styles instead. In the form of elegant ballet flats, retro-inspired trainers and trending sandals, the brown shoe trend is sweeping new-in sections right now.

With a warm undertone, this elevated shade styles well with so many of the colours that dominate an autumn wardrobe. Wearing well with blue denim for a lighter finish than black, the shade also styles impossibly well with cream, rose, mustard and gold shades. It’s probably no surprise that last year’s big shift towards brown tones is set to rise again as the weather turns—this is a classic shade that has long been overlooked but since being rediscovered by the fashion set it’s been a mainstay throughout the seasons, even during summer.
