It wasn't all that long ago that I wouldn't dream of going near a peep-toe shoe. And truth be told, I hardly ever came across them when shopping anyway, as most brands had ceased making them. But as is the case with many things in fashion during any given season, peep-toes are cool again, and the recent runways of Khaite, Fendi, Tory Burch, and Saint Laurent (to name just a few) say so. And now, it's poised to be one of the biggest shoe trends of fall 2025.
As we inch closer to fall, it's fitting that cool dressers such as Sophie Turner would start trading basic pumps for this revived retro heel trend. Yes, her form-fitting snakeskin (another major fall trend) midi dress would've also looked chic and cool with pumps, but the choice to pair it with peep toes (burgundy peep-toe mules, I might add) made it even cooler.
The new wave of peep toes are decidedly modern and elegant, and influential brands such as Khaite and Chloé are finding interesting ways to reimagine them, whether it's by swapping the stiletto heel for a wedge one or choosing an interesting shape for the toe opening. All in all, there are many great peep-toe options on the market, and I urge you to consider purchasing one instead of yet another pair of pumps this season. Keep scrolling to do so, if you're so inclined.
