Fashion People Are Choosing This Elegant Shoe Trend for Fall 2026

There's one item at the top of my fall wish list: '60s-inspired pointed-toe kitten-heel pumps. The pair that originally caught my eye was The Row's $1050 Liisa Kitten Three Heel. Back in April, associate director Kristen Nichols referred to them as The Row’s biggest It shoes of 2026 after seeing them on Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner.

Since I don't wear high heels and prefer pairs that are two inches and under but still love chic and put-together shoes, they immediately stood out to me. As I researched alternatives to The Row's costly pumps, which are sold out in most sizes, I came across Aeyde's Cari Pointed-Toe Pumps and Mansur Gavriel's Ballerina Kitten Heel Pumps. I also noticed that many other brands and retailers have made their own variations—another indication these are one of the top trends for the season.
