Fashion insiders are already set to take a trip down memory lane with this season’s most elegant heeled shoes.
80s high heels are making a comeback
Our favourite decade is back in the spotlight, and this time its influence starts with shoes. This autumn, black high heels bring back some of the glamour and intensity of the 80s, whilst also being one of the most classic wardrobe staples. Paired with jeans, trousers or dresses, we’ll see them in a variety of styles: from low ‘kitten heels’ to strappy designs. These are choices that tick all the boxes when it comes to style: elegance and versatility.
The trends for the Autumn/Winter 2026 season have clearly signalled their return. One need only take a look at the catwalks of houses such as Tom Ford, Valentino, Chanel and Prada to confirm this. However, this doesn’t mean you should ‘raid’ your grandmother’s or mother’s wardrobe. Instead, the aim is to find contemporary designs with a retro aesthetic that appeal to younger generations.
