I’ve long considered shoes to be my speciality, so I’m always tuned into the footwear trends gaining momentum each season. From significant trend overhauls to the subtlest shifts in styling preferences, I want to know about them all. So when I noticed a particularly stylish set of women stepping away from their go-to black shoes in favour of a softer, more graceful neutral, I couldn’t resist documenting it.

Moving away from the ubiquitous black heel, this week I spotted actor Kelly Rutherford styling a sleek pair of light beige shoes in place of her usual darker options. Worn with a crisp white two-piece, the pale neutral complemented the freshness of her outfit beautifully, rather than grounding it too heavily in the way black shoes sometimes can.

Styled with white trousers, beige shoes enhance the lightness of an outfit, but they work just as well with blue denim or darker bottoms, too. Equally as versatile as black, this understated neutral slips into as many outfits whilst bringing a fresher, more refined finish.
