The lace-up corset shoes that will be everywhere in 2025 In the spectrum of shoes trending for spring-summer 2025, we can expect to see plenty of ballerinas, mary janes , and transparent styles. While these classics have been in the spotlight for several seasons, every now and then, a fresh trend emerges that’s worth keeping an eye on. We’ve been closely watching the fashion shows this season, and a few presentations during fashion weeks have garnered extra attention.
When Chloé , Simone Rocha, and Dries Van Noten all embrace a similar accessory, it’s impossible not to take note. This time, the shared focus is on a unique take: the corset-inspired lace-up shoe. It’s a visually striking design, featuring laces threaded through eyelets along the entire instep and tied at the ankle for a structured, elegant finish.
Simone Rocha’s version comes in glittering flat ballerinas, in shades like black and red, evoking a touch of the Wizard of Oz. Meanwhile, Dries Van Noten’s first collection without its founder features two distinct mules with angular wedge heels and eye-catching finishes, such as snake print. With these new iterations, the lace-up shoe is set to become one of the defining accessories of the upcoming season.
Chloé has been the most dedicated to championing corset shoes. Its creative director, Chemena Kamali, showcased a version just yesterday in the brand's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, featuring a design with a pacifier heel and a plunging neckline in.
