It's My Job to Stay Ahead of the Trends—6 Stylish Pedicures to Bookmark This Winter

I know what you're thinking, a pedicure? In winter? Many of us tend to reserve this beauty treatment for the summer months, but I'm here to tell you why a pedicure is one of my favourite things to treat myself to when the weather gets colder. As soon as the season changes, my skin looks dull, my hair feels dry, and I crave a bit of self-care to boost my mood. Nothing makes me feel more put-together than a stylish pedicure colour, so a trip to the nail salon is first on my list. Not only that, but when the festive invites start to roll in, I know I can dig out my open-toe heels without a care in the world.

Another big reason I love a winter pedicure is the variety of nail polish shades available. In the summer months, I tend to keep things quite simple and opt for neutral or milky white hues. However, as the evenings get darker, I love to get a bit more daring and try out deeper, richer shades such as red pedicures, blacks and navy blues.

Due to my job, I am always up-to-date on the latest pedicure trends, and with October in full swing, I thought it was time to research the winter pedicure trends we can expect to see everywhere in 2025. Below, I've rounded up the best pedi looks to bookmark for the season ahead.

6 Biggest Winter Pedicure Trends for 2025

1. Coffee Brown

When I spotted this deep, coffee brown pedicure shade on top nail artist Iram Shelton's Instagram account, I knew we were about to see it everywhere.

This deep, rich hue looks so sleek and expensive, and is a slightly softer alternative if you're not a fan of black nail polish for the winter months.

2. Glass Pedicure

If you want something subtle that still feels put-together, why not try the glass pedicure trend? This super glossy, shiny finish makes your nails look so healthy and chic.
