Sorry, French Tips—Fashion People Wear This Anti-Trend Pedicure Color 365 Days a Year
This pedicure might not be the obvious choice for summer, but it oozes cool-girl appeal.
Here at Who What Wear, we write a lot about summer pedicure trends, from specific nail art looks to popular summer pedicure colors. That said, something that I like to look out for during this season is those unexpected pedicure shades that fashion people can't get enough of.
It might sound a little weird, but whenever I spot someone stylish on the streets of London, I always have a quick look to see what nail color they are sporting on both their hands and feet. As it turns out, this summer it's all about those anti-trend colors, from glossy black shades (hello, onyx pedicure trend) to deep navy tones. In fact, one anti-trend pedicure color I keep seeing time and time again is burgundy.
Believe it or not, burgundy nail polish shades look incredibly chic in the summer months. This dark red and purple hue is so sophisticated, and as you'll see below, it adds an elegant touch to your summer sandals. I've rounded up some of my favourite burgundy pedicure pics to help provide you with lots of inspo, so keep on scrolling to find out more.
Burgundy Pedicure Inspiration
How chic does this color look with flip-flops?
For that cool-girl finish, pair your burgundy pedicure with matching burgundy accessories.
A glossy finish is always a good way to go.
This pedicure color will pair perfectly with trousers and dresses.
A square nail shape makes this nail color look even more elegant.
Simply stunning.
I love this slightly reddish burgundy hue.
