Nothing gets you dreaming about all the summer fun to be had like breaking out a new pair of sandals. Update your warm-weather wardrobe from the feet up with the top shoe trends you should know and shop. We’re seeing a heavy dose of nostalgia in the form of ‘90s minimalism and childhood favorites make a comeback, and a return to crafted details that shine through.
You have an exciting summer calendar in full swing, dive in with heels you can wear from day to night, versatile flats you can pack for all your upcoming vacations, and statement-making styles that make you want to do a happy dance.
Crafted Luxe
It’s all about the details when it comes to this trend—beaded embellishments, artisan touches, woven leathers—you get textural movement and quality craftmanship. Earthy materials like raffia and gilded accents come together for the perfect balance of crafted and luxe. From slides to wedges, you’ll want multiples of this style.
Thong sandals, but make them dressy. The beloved shoe from the ‘90s isn’t just for casual occasions anymore. Sleek designs like this make them appropriate for summer workwear and date night.
