Forget black or brown heels; fashion enthusiasts are now opting for this flat shoe trend in a more intriguing neutral shade.
Set aside black and brown heels for a moment. As we transition into the spring/summer season, I've noticed that richer, wine-toned flats are taking the place of the classic black or brown heels that previously prevailed. For instance, Margot Robbie was recently spotted wearing an exceptionally stylish version of this trend. She showcased an early pair from Giorgio Armani’s autumn/winter 2026 collection—her sleek burgundy flats enhanced her polished, tailored ensemble just as effectively as any heels could have. Clad from head to toe in Armani, she paired her look with grey tailored trousers, a matching wool jacket, a high-neck blouse, and a fine black knit underneath. A dark burgundy belt cinched at her hips echoed the color of her shoes, adding a harmonious, sophisticated touch.
While heels will always hold their appeal, there’s something inherently attractive about flat shoes in this deeper neutral tone. Burgundy boasts a natural richness that feels just as refined and, in certain situations, arguably more so, while still offering the comfort of a flat silhouette. Taking inspiration from Margot’s style, keep reading to explore the most stylish burgundy flats to pair with tailored outfits, denim, and skirts this season.
