When it comes to shoe trends in 2025, the clear preference is that they be elegant. In fact, that's been the case for several years, which is why kitten heels have been so popular for so many seasons (that and the comfortable, walkable heel). Since kitten heels have been popular for so long, it's understandable that people are seeking something fresher for fall and beyond, and that fresh shoe trend is none other than the one Elizabeth Olsen just wore in L.A.: high-vamp pumps.
My fellow editor Eliza Huber actually reported on the high-vamp-pump trend last month, and it's coming to fruition more and more. Olsen opted to wear the buzzy Phoebe Philo Club Slippers in burgundy, which she paired with black jeans, a button-down shirt, and a camel sweater-vest. She looked every bit the low-key fashion person, especially given that she paired the pumps with thin white socks. Aside from the high vamp of the shoes, a key feature of this trend is the block heel, which is a significant pivot from the kitten heels we've all been wearing for months on end. If you're ready to add a dose of elegance to your fall wardrobe via a fresh, walkable heel trend, keep scrolling to shop my picks of the best high-vamp pumps on the market, including the Phoebe Philo pair Olsen is wearing, of course.
