Skip the Black Heels—Neutral Dresses Look Chicest With This Summer Shoe Colour Trend

Instead of reaching for black heels for every event, add a summery energy to your favourite neutral dresses this season with the warm-weather shoe trend I keep spotting on fashion people. Taking inspiration from Victoria Beckham, who this week stepped out for an event in London wearing a sleek, slim-fitting dress in an elegant mushroom hue, the designer ditched a predictable pair of classic black heels and elevated her neutral dress with the prettiest pair of blush pink heeled mules.

The soft pink shade lightened and energised the look, injecting colour and dimension without compromising the outfit's understated energy. Rather than introducing a bolder, more attention-grabbing hue—which wouldn't have felt particularly Victoria—the pale blush tone delivered the perfect dose of contrast.

Not a million miles away from a neutral itself, blush pink is a surprisingly versatile summer shade, making it a natural pairing for black or beige bases, all the while bringing a fresher, more summery finish to an outfit.
