Walk in style: Footwear trends you can’t miss in 2024

Step into the world of fashion-forward footwear as we unveil the hottest trends of 2024 just in time for Eid celebrations. From revamped classics to bold new designs, discover the styles that are making waves this season. Whether you're a trendsetter or a fashion enthusiast, these shoes are sure to elevate your look.

Kitten Heels

While kitten heels stir mixed opinions as a shoe trend in 2024, there are several good reasons to adopt the micro heel, particularly with renowned fashion houses such as Prada, Gucci, Ferragamo, and Givenchy endorsing them. In addition to lending your attire instant sophistication, slingback kitten heels offer superior comfort compared to stilettos, keeping your heels in place the entire time you wear them. The best part, there's a plethora of timeless options available for purchase, such as classic black, peep-toes, two-toned heels and even mules, that pair well with every style in your wardrobe.

Satin Heels

Come the festive season, ladies find themselves looking for all things pretty and dainty — and combing through the spring/summer runways of 2024, we could find nothing prettier or daintier than satin footwear. Whether you go for slingbacks, mules or peep-toes, satin gives shoes a sleek, luxurious sheen, allowing the wearer to look instantly chic.

Jutis

What's Eid without a gorgeously embellished pair of jutis? All the rage in pastel colours like mint green, powder pink, baby blue or buttery yellow, jutis shot with gold and silver thread, delicate embroidery or mirror work look and feel regal with festive wear. Padded soles make the shoe all the more comfortable during the day and mellower versions are available for men, which look divine on ethnic wear such as panjabis.

Clogs

Chunky and cute — clogs have been everywhere, recently. Providing unparalleled comfort with their ergonomic design and sturdy wooden soles, these shoes are a go-to choice for all-day wear. The cushioned footbeds offer support and alleviate pressure on the feet, while the open-back style ensures breathability. Keeping aesthetics in mind, clogs come embellished and even as stylish wedges that go so well with wide-legged pants.

Metallic and Neon Colours

It's high time one expands their choice beyond the confines of black and white, especially when it comes to neutral colours. Basic neon colours and metallic tones like silver and gold, whether they are stilettos, flats, wedges or even boots, harmonise effortlessly with a large number of shades, elevating the glam quotient of an outfit by several notches. Metallic shades are particularly great for the festive season, as they eliminate the need to match; these lustrous shoes are designed to steal the spotlight!

Loafers

Good old loafers continue to trend, particularly in softer leather variations. These shoes offer versatility that seamlessly favours almost all types of fabrics, be it denim or suit fabric. Designs featuring classic accents and minimalist styles are all the rage now, for both men and women, and they look glamorous and festive. If there's one type of shoe that deserves a guaranteed place in your shoe closet, this is it!

Boots

Boots maintain their prominent presence in gender-neutral footwear, spanning from sturdy work boots to elegant Chelsea and lace-up styles, all garnering the right kind of attention. The enduring trend of understated luxury draws customers towards minimalist, refined silhouettes, but embellished options are also available for festive occasions, especially in the case of female footwear.  

Derby

Iconic shoe styles like the Derby are edging their way back in the fashion scene, thanks to designers' meticulous attention to detail and luxurious and timeless materials such as suedes. This Eid, expect to see a good mix between classic blacks and earthy colours such as olive green, all shades of brown, deep blues and chocolate shades dictating men's footwear trends.
