Calling It: This "Ugly" Shoe Color Is About to Go Viral
Alexa Chung just attended the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards wearing the shoe-color trend that's up next. See her styling and shop shoes in the buzzy color here.
I love dark-brown or burgundy shoes just as much as the next person this time of year, but I also crave something different and unique to enhance my winter outfits. Oftentimes, shoes in a fresh color do the trick. If you also get bored with the same old winter shoe colors year after year, Alexa Chung just provided a remedy.
Chung attended the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards in NYC last night, wearing head-to-toe Tory Burch. With her off-the-runway F/W 26 marigold-and-cream velvet wrap coat, she wore a pair of shoes in the color I predict will go viral by December: pear. Pear-colored shoes are brighter than moss green and less bright than lime green. There's also a touch of smokiness that mutes the color a bit, making it even more versatile. It's one of those colors that looks surprisingly cool with other hues, so have fun with it.
Another indicator of the rise of the shoe-color trend is that brands, in addition to Tory Burch, are adding pear to their color lineup. I found quite a few great options, so without further ado, keep scrolling to see Chung's look and shop the coolest pear-colored shoes on the market. I think she'd approve.
