Yes, This Is *Still* the Most Coveted Footwear Trend—8 Ways to Wear Red Shoes

The red shoes in my closet remind me of the red lipsticks that sometimes collect dust in my beauty drawer. While I admire both the shoes and the lips on others, I'm often stumped when it comes to using them to create the perfect look on myself. Do I style them with more red or keep the rest of my outfit simple? It can feel like a bold move to break in these shoes of yours, but you're in good hands. I've gone through the same struggle and have some thoughts.

What's exciting about styling red shoes is that there's no right or wrong way to do it. The possibilities are endless, and getting creative is the vibe. I like to surprise myself by throwing on shoes that I'd never expect to go with an outfit. It often ends up working out better than expected, so I suggest having some fun with it. Below, find eight ways to wear red shoes that you're going to want to copy ASAP.

Of course, my first thought when it comes to styling a pair of red shoes was a white minidress. It's a classic move that feels utterly timeless to me. This just might be my go-to for picnics in the park this season.

Yes, I love red shoes for every activity, even a beach hike. Pair your favorite red sneakers with a simple black triangle bikini and you'll feel incredible.

Mary Janes are the ultimate choice if you're looking for a pair of red shoes. Of course, styling requires a white puff-sleeved matching set. Bonus point for the bow ties.

If you haven't tried the mesh-flats trend, this just might be the summer to do it. An oversize denim jacket and white T-shirt really let the shoes do all the talking, and I'm here for it.

Denim just might be the best pairing for red shoes, and there's something about denim on denim that's simply perfect. Just add a white button-down shirt and you have this look.

I'm obsessed with this outfit because I consider it to be seasonless. It's something that you could wear at any time of year and still look cool. Striped pants really have that superpower of making you look taller, and I'm here for that. Plus, the pop of red at the bottom is unexpected perfection.

The Ferragamo brand is known right now for a pop of red on everything, so it's no surprise that it would inspire such an incredible look. Its wedges won me over.

If life throws you on top of a mountain in the wintertime, go for a ski and put on an outfit that features red boots. You'll never regret it. It's easy to get washed away in the winter by oversize clothing, so that's why a pop of color in your footwear can't hurt.
