Amal Clooney’s Tip for Looking Elegant? Wear This Luxurious Shoe Colour Any Time You Can

Whenever my friends turn to me for shopping advice, there are a few items I always seem to mention. I have my go-to bags, a few denim recommendations, but on the footwear front, there’s one style that’s practically poised at the tip of my tongue: the ever-elegant gold sandal.

With its glistening metallic finish and delicate straps, this shoe instantly gives any outfit that polished, expensive-looking edge, but my favourite part? It’s an incredibly versatile shoe. Just ask Amal Clooney, who proved my point this week when she paired a shimmering gold pair with a swishy fuchsia dress.

Fuchsia is one of fashion’s trickiest shades to style with: too pink to be purple, too purple to be pink, it rarely plays nicely with other colours. But add a gold sandal or shoe into the mix, and the shade suddenly feels wearable. Beyond your wardrobe's trickier pieces, I also find that a gold sandal brings instant polish to casual jeans and adds an elevated gleam to a swishy white skirt. I honestly believe there are very few outfits that wouldn’t be made chicer with the addition of a gold sandal. And at the rate she wears them, it seems Clooney agrees.

The lawyer's latest look has only confirmed my hunch that this is one of the smartest shoe trends out there to invest in right now. Keep scrolling for the best gold sandals to shop now.
