Not Brown, Not Burgundy—The Beautiful Shoe Color Trend That's Dominating at Chanel and Prada

      Following the fall/winter 2026 runway season, I dedicated hours to analyzing nearly every look that graced the catwalk, zooming in on details such as creatively tied scarves, bold jewelry, oversized belts, and—most importantly—shoes. This category is arguably the most sought-after from the runway each season, but you need to focus carefully to identify the standout pieces early, as clothing tends to steal the spotlight. But if you know me, you know I'll always pay closer attention to shoes, and this season, one particular color dominated the runway. Forget about neutrals. By fall 2026, you'll want to include something blue in your shoe collection, whether it's from Chanel, Prada, or Alaïa, the three brands that will influence the blue shoe trend as the year progresses. From satin ballet flats at Carven to knee-high, hand-stitched feather boots at Prada, the runways were filled with blue footwear this season, offering a fresh and exciting investment option. Blue shoes can elevate any outfit every time you slip on a pair that catches your eye. At Chanel, Matthieu Blazy's viral footwear phenomenon persisted, with his blue-and-white two-tone patent leather mules likely to sell out quickly when his fall/winter 2026 collection for the French house is released. Chemena Kamali went bold with thigh-high boots at Chloé, experimenting with a range of colors, most notably a royal-blue leather option lined with shearling. We can't discuss the blue shoes of this season without highlighting the chic pumps presented by Pieter Mulier in his farewell collection for Alaïa.

      Designers made it clear this season that "something blue" shouldn't be confined to wedding attire. At least in terms of footwear, a touch of blue can complement virtually any outfit for any occasion, whether styled with coordinating leather pants (Chloé), a tweed skirt suit (Chanel), or a sleek tailored coat (Prada). Admittedly, blue shoes might not be as versatile to style as classic black or brown options, but where's the excitement in that? For a cooler and more unique alternative, consider the blue shoes featured below, which include refined styles from Manolo Blahnik and more laid-back selections from Prada.
