They’re Here: The 5 Boot Colour Trends That Will Dominate Your 2026 Wardrobe

I’m not one to stray too far from my usual pairs of boots, but with 2026’s boot colour trends, I’ve been swayed to venture out past the black ankle boots I typically opt for. I screened the runways for the shades of boots that were most prevalent and have the potential to hold trend status all year long—and I have to say that quite a few caught my attention. Some are returning favourites, whereas others are a very clear departure from the boot colours we’re used to seeing year after year.

Although the colour of boots isn’t always the first thing designers choose to experiment with (they often swap out heel types or zhuzh up toe shapes), this year had an abundance of colours that defy the ordinary whilst remaining timeless enough to wear many years after this. Take Hermès, for instance. The brand’s runway was a tonal dream, featuring a large range of neutrals in various shades—from warm yellow beiges to two-toned boots—all rendered in leather, suede and linen. Some designers mixed the classics. Burberry and Thom Browne both took the iconic bright white boots and added unique details, from stripes to straps, to spruce up the colour. Red also made a dramatic appearance, as well as several other shades. All of this to say, I’m certainly excited for all the boots outfits I’ll be putting together next year.
