The royals do not compromise on their shoes. They are currently attracted to a very specific model in a very special color.
They are elegant, classic and yet they keep driving us crazy: the shoes of the royals. Currently, Duchess Meghan, Queen Letizia and Co. are all reaching for a very specific couple. And of course we want that too!
Slingback pumps: The royals’ favorite shoes
Slingback pumps are THE it-piece in the shoe cabinet of the royal ladies. What makes the shoe special? On the back of the shoe, slingbacks usually have a recess and a small strap – hence the name. The shoes are not only elegant, they also go with everything. However, there is one color that is particularly popular with the royals – and that is red. Whether dark, gaudy or muted, the color tone seems to be particularly popular in winter. Logical, after all, red always looks festive and chic.
We know that red shoes are not always easy to combine. But don’t worry, because what royal fashionistas can do, we’ve been able to do for a long time. Probably the simplest and most obvious combination option is red with red. This is how Duchess Meghan wore it on her last appearance. She has combined the red slingback pumps with a red dress. Dress and shoes don’t have to be the same shade of red here either, several nuances make the look look lively.

One shoe, many styling options
Of course, a monochrome look in red can sometimes be a bit too much, after all, not everyone wants to wear such eye-catching outfits. If you want to downgrade your red shoe, you can combine it with straight-leg jeans. Red and blue look super casual together. This goes well with blazers, wool coats and basic shirts. If you want, you can also wear a second piece in red, so the shoe doesn’t look so lost.
The supreme discipline is color blocking. If you are in the mood for a lot of color, combine red and pink, how about red slingbacks and a pink sweater? A bright red shade can also look super stylish with green – especially at Christmas time.
