This Rich-Looking Shoe Colour Instantly Makes Plain White Summer Outfits So Elegant
Elsa Hosk understands the outfit-altering potential of a glossy gold shoe. Read on to discover the best pairs on the market right now.


Just today, upon sharing this chic image of Elsa Hosk in one of ourBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK Slack channels, I realised that a common thread runs through the wardrobes of more of our editors. Just like Hosk, it appears that our team unanimously reaches for a glossy pair of gold shoes when looking to elevate a summery ensemble.
Deputy editor Maxine Eggenberger was the first to sing the praises of her go-to gold shoes, swiftly followed by our editor-in-chief, Hannah Almassi, who declared, "It’s what I default to when I’m not wearing tan or black, and want to look a bit fancy." I’m with them, and if I needed any further convincing, Hosk’s metallic Alaïa Mary Janes, with their delicate perforations and luminous finish, have reminded me that gold shoes are one of the chicest styles you can own.
Breathing a fresh lease of life into her simple white outfit, Hosk’s gilded shoes added a touch of shine that felt effortless and impactful. Wearing well with casual linen, gold shoes inject a sense of polish and glamour without veering overdressed.
While it's a natural pairing for an all-white look, this shoe trend also styles well with straight-leg jeans and black tailored trousers during summer's milder days. Modern, wearable and just a little bit decadent, they're one of the most reliable items in our rotations at the moment.
Read on to discover our edit of the best gold shoes.
