Not Butter Yellow, But Not Boring—Shoes Look Chicest in This Grown-up Colour Trend
Instead of butter yellow, slate grey is the grown-up colour trend the chicest dressers are backing for spring.
Not one to give her time to fleeting trends without intent, when Victoria Beckham gives her seal of approval to a new-season buy, it’s usually worth paying attention.
That’s exactly what unfolded this week, as Victoria introduced me to one of spring’s most understated colour trends, styled through a pair of chic, pointed-toe heels. Rather than giving in to the ever-popular butter yellow that’s been dominating the season, Beckham opted to style shoes in the far chicer shade of slate grey.
Elegant, restrained, and grown-up, this underrated shade moved through the spring/summer 2026 runways with just as much momentum as its brighter counterpart. Since then, it’s begun filtering into the wardrobes of the most polished dressers, offering a softer alternative to black that still feels grounded and versatile.
Anchoring Victoria's look, the grey heels brought cohesion to her dark blue tailoring, without competing with it. Ever-inspired by Victoria, scroll on to shop the chicest grey shoes to wear now.
