Pair these striking heels with a summer dress, or even carry them into the fall season by adding tights. [YSL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pouch-and-mirror)’s modern black and white collection features cage heels in both metallic and patent leather. Topshop followed suit with their cream and silver lattice heels. If you want a little more funk, Jeffrey Cambell’s fire-engine red lattice heel should do the trick. Or just spice up your classic look with Giuseppe Zanotti’s [cross hatch pump](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perforated-flats). Shake up your wardrobe with these trendy shoes; a little lattice goes a long way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lattice Heels:** The lattice heel trend offers opportunities for innovative shoe designs. - **Gladiator Sandals:** The resurgence of the gladiator sandal trend presents a chance to create new and unique styles. - **Patterned Footwear:** The popularity of lattice work shoes showcases the demand for stylish and creative patterns in footwear. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can take advantage of the lattice heel trend to create trendy and eye-catching shoe designs. - **Retail:** The rising popularity of lattice work shoes opens up new sales opportunities for retailers. - **Textiles:** The demand for patterned footwear creates a market for textile manufacturers to produce innovative and unique fabrics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Nude Heel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule.md) - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Sleek T-Strap Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew.md) - [Spring-Ready Intricately Laced Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule.md) - [3D-Printed Lattice Futuristic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climamog.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Coquette Hybrid Sneaker Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-360-viii-2.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-bridal-collection.md)
