When it comes to shaping trends, London It Girls have a way of leading the conversation with an ease that never feels forced. That’s why, at the start of every year, I always keep a close eye on London-inspired fashion—especially when it comes to shoes. While the runways may debut new ideas, it’s the streets of London that truly reveal how those trends translate into everyday style.
What sets London trends apart is their real-world wearability. There’s a clear focus on pieces that earn their place in a wardrobe—shoes that feel current but still pair effortlessly with outfits we already own. These are styles that refresh familiar looks without dominating them.
As thoughts turn to spring dressing, the shoe trends popping up across my social feeds feel especially timely. They strike a thoughtful balance between new and familiar, where nothing feels overdone, yet every choice looks intentional.
The Shoe Trends London It Girls Are Championing This Year
Below are the five standout shoe trends London It Girls are embracing right now—and why they’ve quickly become my own go-to picks for 2026 styling as well. If you’re already planning your spring wardrobe, these are the styles quietly gaining momentum.
Tabi Flats Continue Their London Takeover
Style Notes: Love them or hate them, Tabi flats are firmly on the radar of London It Girls. Their appeal lies in that slightly rebellious edge that London style is known for—fashion-forward without trying too hard. With their growing presence on the streets, it’s only a matter of time before they filter into the high street in a big way.
The Return of Modern Square-Toe Heels
Style Notes: Square-toe heels are making a subtle comeback, thanks to their clean, architectural shape that instantly updates any outfit. London It Girls gravitate toward them because they feel thoughtful yet practical—less delicate than pointed toes, but noticeably sharper than rounded styles.
