Sorry to my black heels, but your time as a pillar of my footwear collection is up. As September tumbles in and a flurry of events starts to saturate my calendar, I can't help but feel compelled to shake up my wardrobe with some fresh, event-ready buys. Inspired by the chicest looks of the new season, this autumn, I'm after a pair of burgundy heels to see me through in style.
I'm far from the only one to spot the outfit-elevating potential of a burgundy heel—some of my favourite celebrities have been incorporating the trend into their wardrobes already this season. Just this weekend, actor Elizabeth Olsen styled a sleek pointed-toe pair with a jet-black suit to an event in L.A. With a particularly stylish pair of sisters on hand for styling advice, it was no surprise that the youngest Olsen was one of the first to adopt the fresh autumn trend.
Styling a similarly elegant, fuss-free ensemble, Sofia Richie Grainge was also spotted out this week in the emerging shoe trend. Pairing her merlot-hued shoes with a tartan blouse and black high-waisted trousers, Richie's autumn outfit was simple yet sophisticated—and so easy to replicate at home.

Whilst the trend feels entirely fresh for autumn 2024, whispers of its emergence have been around for months. Emerging on the runways in both A/W 24 and S/S 25 collections, the chic shoe was used to add depth to outfits in subtle yet impactful ways.

Rich, decadent and supremely sophisticated, this expensive-looking shoe trend is set to transcend Replica Handbags circles this season. Styling well with an autumnal palette of blacks, browns and greys, this emerging colour trend also styles well with other jewel tones such as sapphire and emerald, as well as brighter shades including pink and peach.
