The metallic trend seen in make up and accessories this season extends to shoes. Though there are two main colour schemes: dark naturals and sporty whites and silvers.

The dark natural colours are black which is back but hasnt taken over, brown is still a big colour this season. Off black colours are on trend too, such as dark purple, midnight blue and charcoal grey.

There is a trend for two tone shoes so while the boot or shoe is darkly coloured it is accented with light or bright colours. Boot tops will be eye catching, contrast stitching will feature as will stretch insets, elaborate zips and metallic buckles. Chilli red, a big colour in clothing this season, will be seen in piping for that contrast look, as will purple, ultramarine and green.

Round toes are back this season, although the retro look still features the square. To contrast with the eye catching embellishments the cut and shape of shoes this season is simple and elegant.

Sporty whites are seen in high tech stretch boots for increased wearability. An almost futuristic look this combines high leg boots with rubber soles and that round toe and prominent embellishments such as zips or buckles.

The metallic look is seen as bronze replaces gold and silver contrasts with autumn green woollens.

Boots are big this season, with a wide choice ranging from high heeled ankle boots to high leg boots. For girly days court shoes with tiny heel and delicate straps can be worn to great effect. Ballerina flats can easily add that glam metallic look to your wardrobe. Platforms for the retro feel and strappy stilettos still have their place. As with clothes and accessories this season, shoes are available in a wide range of colours and styles so be sure to suit your own personal style and have fun.
