Milan Fashion Week this season was marked by provocation and bold stylistic decisions. Designers focused on new-generation silhouettes – bold color combinations, unconventional pieces, and deconstruction that reinterprets classic codes. But accessories, especially shoes, attracted particular attention, which in the fall-winter 2026/2027 season became the main space for creative experiments. Gucci updated black pumps, Bottega Veneta introduced studded ballet flats, and Fendi offered transparent, almost crystal heels. We have collected 6 pairs that will be everywhere in fall 2026 and that are worth paying attention to now.
White slingbacks
The open-heel, thin-strap model hails from the 1950s. In 2026, the most relevant versions are made in white leather – minimalist, sophisticated and surprisingly versatile.

Pumps + socks
In the Prada and Marni collections, the combination of socks with classic pumps has become one of the key details of the season. A bold stylistic formula that can both captivate and provoke discussion.

Ballet flats with character
Ballet flats, inspired by the world of dance, have long been controversial. But now they are making a comeback. At Bottega Veneta, the model has been given a punk twist thanks to metal spikes that add an edgy touch.

Transparent heels
A crystal-clear, almost invisible heel is a spectacular accent that adds futuristic lightness to even the most laconic pair.
Fendi
Classic black pumps
What could be more timeless and impeccably elegant than black heels? For his debut show at Gucci, Demna turned to the brand's archives, particularly the Tom Ford era. The result was a pair of pumps that seemed to have been brought back from the 1990s.
