From Boots to Flats, This Is the Shoe Colour Stylish People Keep Coming Back to This Winter
If you've been tuning into the trend cycle then you might have noticed a new heavyweight player had entered the ring this season. Newly in the wardrobes of the most stylish people I know, admire and follow, burgundy shoes are the winter-ready footwear trend that fashionable types refuse to ignore.
Be it a rouge mary jane, a merlot ballet flat, or a crimson loafer, those with elegant taste are banking on the burgundy shoe trend right now to ensure their looks have a glossy finish. Adding an easy wash of colour into their cold-weather attire, the rich hue of the grown-up shade is sophisticated and expensive-looking, whilst remaining easy to style across the season. In fact, I'd say it's just as versatile as brown or even black.
Inspired to give my wardrobe this winter-ready upgrade, below I've taken inspiration from the celebrities and influencers I love the most to identify the key burgundy shoe trends to know about, from ballet flats to boots. Read on to discover what I found.
THE 5 BEST BURGUNDY SHOES TO SHOP RIGHT NOW
1. BALLET FLATS
Style Notes: With a penchant for great flat shoe and a keen eye for new trends I wasn't surprised to spot Katie Holmes styling a covetable pair of burgundy ballet flats in New York. Wearing hers with relaxed denim and an oversized shirt, Holmes used her sophisticated shoe to weave an elegant element into her relaxed day-time look.

2. BURGUNDY BOOTS:
Style Notes: Rather than shopping for classic black pairs, this season fashion people are shopping for their boots in a rich burgundy tone. Adding a warm wash of colour to a winter outfit, this growing boots trend provides dimension and interest and a nod to the season's biggest colour trend.

3. BURGUNDY LOAFERS
Style Notes: Usurping classic black and navy pairs, the burgundy loafer trend has been the most in-demand of the season. Styling hers with fresh white socks and an oversized blazer, Jenner Ortega wove the trending shoe into the daily rotation in a relaxed yet polished way. With a glossy finish and rich rouge hue, the smart shoe trend is quickest way to revive your footwear collection for the new season.

4. BURGUNDY MARY JANES:
Style Notes: French women have long understood the wardrobe-altering power or a classic mary jane. When you want your outfit to feel a little more polished, mary janes are the easiest way to weave some elegance into your rotation. With a simple strap detailing and a pretty, feminine energy, this flat shoe trend styles well with short party dresses and baggy jeans alike.

5. BURGUNDY HEELS
Style Notes: With party season coming into focus I've been on the lookout for the perfect pair of heels to see me through. Keen to add some dimension to my LBDs I'm taking my cues from Alexa Chung and shopping a rich ruby pair this year.
