Burgundy, emerald and plum are doing what black used to do in a shoe. The colour reads as considered rather than loud. Here it is in heels, boots and evening fabric.

The Etro collaboration with Birkenstock first appeared on the runway at Milan Fashion Week for Etro's Fall/Winter 2026 show. I gather every piece of the drop, plus new-in Etro dresses and skirts that suit the taupe and chocolate palette.

Alohas Fall and Winter 2026 Collection

The shoes everyone wants right now cover a lot of ground, from slim kitten heels and snake-embossed pumps to moto boots and ballet flats. Animal textures, buckles and pointed toes are the details tying the season together. This edit sorts the most wanted pairs by type so finding the right one is quick.

The strap that keeps you in

Fall loafers and mules have taken over from the office pump and the weekend sneaker. This edit is built shoe-first: the flat, then the trousers, jeans, skirts and knits that make it look like an outfit.

Dressing with intent now means fabric over embellishment: quieter, heavier pieces, led by outerwear. I go through the coats, the belts and scarves, and the heels that came back quietly.

Chloé Winter 2026 brings lace-trimmed ready-to-wear, Paddington and Marcie bags in new leathers, tailored jackets and shearling-lined boots. I sort the new arrivals by clothing, bags, jackets and shoes.

Suede bags have become the default autumn accessory, from slouchy shoulder bags to totes and top handles. I go through the bags I would carry first, then the shoes that follow.

The Loewe winter collection is its newest Fall/Winter line of ready-to-wear, handbags, jackets and shoes, led by knitwear and bags. I sort the pieces into clothing, bags and outerwear built for actual winter.

The Fendi winter collection here covers the newest Fall/Winter ready-to-wear, handbags, jackets and shoes. I go through the formal dresses, the Baguette and Peekaboo bags, and the jackets.
Puma Palermo leather shoes are the terrace sneaker that outlasted the low-profile trend that revived it. The leather versions trade some of the suede's softness for a cleaner line that works with tailoring. These six Puma Palermo leather shoes cover the original, the Moda platform and the Dress-Up.

Boots for 2026: the shapes replacing the knee high. Shop 14 croc-embossed and suede boots from Vince, Maison Margiela and Schutz.

Knee high boots and what to wear them with: 15 suede and croc-embossed pairs from Joseph, Kenneth Cole, Frye and Splendid.

Sneakers under five hundred dollars are no longer a single category, which is both useful and slightly annoying.

The best mules are the shoes you can slip on quickly. Shop 40 from RAYE, St. Agni, Gucci and Sam Edelman, $71 to $1,550.

Shoes under $300 are not a consolation category. Shop flats, pumps and wedges judged by shape, sole and fit, not by the discount.

An edit of boots organized by material and style: leather, suede, shearling and faux fur, plus knee-high, ankle, western and lug-sole pairs.

Shoes in this price range are where I expect the best decisions, because a useful pair should not require a special occasion to justify itself.

The best sandals are the ones that make getting dressed simpler, not the ones that demand a whole outfit around them.
