The 5 Biggest Shoe Colour Trends of Autumn 2026

Style Notes: Whether you call it wine, maroon or burgundy, bordeaux will be one of the biggest autumn shoe colour trends to know. Although the rich beverage makes an excellent mulled wine (yes, festive season is on the brain), this deep oxblood shade is equally suited to shoes, inherently warm, quietly regal and heavy on the understated elegance. That may well be why it was everywhere on the A/W ’26 runways.
