Found: The Shoe Trends All London It Girls Will Be Wearing in 2026

When it comes to setting the agenda, London It Girls have a habit of doing it first—and doing it in a way that feels effortless. That’s why I always find myself paying close attention to London It Girl trends at the start of every year, especially when it comes to shoes. While runways may introduce the ideas, it’s the streets of London that show us how those trends translate into real life.

What makes London trends so compelling is their wearability. There’s an emphasis on pieces that work hard in a wardrobe—shoes that feel fresh but still make sense with the outfits we’re already wearing. Think footwear that elevates our favourite pieces without overpowering them.

As we start thinking about London girl outfits for spring, the shoe trends I’ve spotted on my social feeds feel especially relevant. They strike that balance between fresh and familiar—nothing feels costume-y, but everything feels considered.

Below are the top five shoe trends London It Girls are backing this year, and why they’re becoming my go-to choices for 2026, too. You’ll also find my edit of the best pieces to shop now, in case any of these trends earn a place in your spring wardrobe.

Style Notes: Khaki has emerged as a fresh alternative to black or brown footwear, especially for those who want something neutral but less predictable. London It Girls are embracing this colour for its versatility—it works across tailoring, denim, soft dresses, flowy skirts, the lot.
