Anyone fashion person knows that more often than not, shoes are usually what make or break an outfit. The right pair can pull everything together, while the wrong ones can throw the whole look off. To keep my style feeling polished but low-effort, I've been sticking to a few shoe styles that always work, and right now, the only style I seem to be considering is shoes rendered in a shade of glossy gold.
Not the over-the-top, super-sparkly kind. I’m talking about glossy, metallic gold that quietly elevates whatever you’re wearing. Keira Knightley clearly sees my point of view—she was, in fact, spotted earlier this week wearing a pair of gold heels with a pretty floral dress. The shoes added just enough shine and interest without stealing attention from the rest of her outfit.
What I really liked was how well the gold worked with the mix of blues, greens, pinks and whites in her dress—even though there wasn’t a hint of gold in the print itself. That’s the thing about gold shoes: they behave like a neutral, pairing effortlessly with all kinds of colours and patterns.
Gold might be trending right now, but I really see it as more of a staple. The kind of thing you can turn to again and again when you want to feel a bit more pulled together. If you’re thinking of trying the trend (or topping up your collection), I’ve rounded up the best gold shoes to shop right now below.
