Shoes Are Rarely Classic, Trendy, and Pretty—That's Why This Style Sells Out Every Year

As someone who tends to dress in a uniform throughout the year, I’m still open to experimenting with trends. And the trend I’ve been seeing everywhere is satin shoes in the form of heels, sneakerinas, and flats. First, they were spotted on the S/S 25 runways of Chanel, Prada, and Carolina Herrera, then again on the F/W 25 runways of Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. Not only that, but they make multiple appearances on red carpets every single year. I also frequently see them out in the wild on the streets of NYC being worn by chic dressers and on my Instagram feed. The trend has prevailed for the past few seasons and is back in full force at the perfect time—warm weather and lots of events (such as weddings) to attend.

The pretty sheen and soft texture of satin shoes make them a lovely addition to any outfit, whether casual or formal. From a day of running errands to an evening out, satin shoes work for a variety of occasions. I did my due diligence and sourced the best satin shoes on the internet, from Miu Miu to Zara, so keep scrolling to find your next pair to wear on repeat.
