Only the Trendiest People Are Wearing This Shoe Colour Instead of Black and Tan

This summer, I’m inviting the season’s brighter outlook into my life in every way possible. I’ve tracked down the best butter yellow trainers, honed in on the best yellow dresses and now, my sights are set towards a shoe trend imbued with the mood-boosting energy of my favourite tone. Elegant, energising and so summer 2025, right now I’m shopping the yellow heels.

Like stepping into summer, this sunny update to heels employs a pretty flush of yellow—from near-golden shades to delicate buttermilks—making the silhouette, which tends to feature more heavily in the cooler months, feel more seasonally appropriate in the process.

The easiest way to add a point of interest to a neutral outfit, yellow heels pair particularly well with charcoal grey ensembles, entirely black outfits and chocolate brown layers. That said, the shoe colour feels just as at home when worn with other pretty summer shades, including pale blues and pastel pinks.

Landing at just the right time, the butter yellow colour trend has been bubbling up for a few seasons now, paving the way for the shoe trend to take off this summer.

A shoe to see you through occasion season and beyond, I’ll be calling upon the trend to revitalise some of my wardrobe’s more tired dresses before wearing them with jeans and swishy trousers during summer’s chillier days.
