5 Winter 2025 Boot Colour Trends That Are Just so Elegant

When it comes to winter footwear, boots will forever be my highlight of the season. Arguably more than any other shoe, boots are the footwear style that you can invest in one winter and know that you’ll turn back to them year after year. This is in large part since they tend to be centred around a few key silhouettes, from the pointed toe knee-high to the sharp little ankle boot, and a staple selection of colours. That being said, a not-so-quick peruse of the AW25 runway shows always tends to give an indicator of which colours will rise to the top of the sartorial charts. And this year’s top contenders are officially in.

As tends to be the case, the old reliables like black boots will always be in style, But this season there seems to be a particular emphasis on timeless, sophisticated colours that will pair well with an established winter wardrobe, which tends to be centred around neutrals. Brown is coming to the fore as the colour of the season, backed by Fendi, Ralph Lauren, Khaite and more in a mix of silhouettes. Then there are the more unexpected, yet still neutral colours, like rich creams and oh-so elegant greys, given a modern twist by Stella McCartney with the high shine patent over-the-knee styles. For those who want their footwear to inject a little colour and playfulness into their cold weather wardrobe, fear not- there are definitely options for you, too.
