The Ultimate Summer Shoe Trend Roundup

I don’t know about you, but the minute the weather warms up, I basically live in sandals. And every summer, I tell myself, “Nope, I don’t need new shoes.” Then, of course, fashion week and Instagram convince me otherwise. 😅 This year is no different—summer 2025’s shoe trends are too fun to ignore.

Here’s my ultimate roundup of what’s actually worth slipping into this season.

The Ultimate Summer Shoe Trend Roundup

1. The “Barely There” Sandal

Think super thin straps that look like they were sketched on your feet. They’re minimal, sleek, and make your legs look about a mile long. Great with slip dresses, but honestly, I’ve even worn them with jeans and a tank top and felt put together instantly.

2. Chunky Fisherman Sandals

Not the dainty kind—these are chunky, cushy, and perfect for running errands when you don’t feel like heels but still want to look like you tried. Pair with wide-leg trousers or a breezy sundress, and suddenly you look like you belong on a Pinterest board.

3. Ballet Flats with a Twist

I know, ballet flats can feel a little preppy (we just talked about this!), but designers are giving them fun updates: square toes, metallic finishes, and ribbon details that feel more chic than schoolgirl. They’re comfy and surprisingly versatile—I’ve been living in mine.

4. Woven Everything

Woven leather, raffia, crochet details—you name it. It’s giving vacation vibes even if you’re just on your way to the grocery store. Woven mules in particular are everywhere, and they look stunning with linen pants.

5. Sporty Slides (Yes, Still)

Love them or hate them, sporty slides are sticking around. But this summer, they’re glammed up—metallic finishes, quilted textures, even crystal embellishments. Suddenly your lazy-day slide feels intentional.

6. Kitten-Heel Mules

Okay, hear me out: kitten heels are back, and they’re adorable. Perfect for those of us who want a little lift but don’t want to wobble down the street in stilettos. The mule version is everywhere, and it’s that sweet spot between casual and dressy.

7. Statement Sneakers

Bright colors, chunky soles, mixed materials—it’s sneaker maximalism. They’re comfy, bold, and a great way to dress down a flirty summer dress.

Final Thought

The best part about summer shoes? You only need one or two pairs to completely refresh your wardrobe. I’ve already caved and bought a pair of woven sandals (zero regrets). Which one are you adding to your cart this season?

Fall 2026 Fashion Trends: What's In and What's Out

Every fall, there's a moment when you open your closet, stare at last year's pieces, and wonder if any of it still works. This year, that question actually has a clear answer. Fall 2026 is shaping up to be one of those seasons with a genuinely distinct identity — bigger silhouettes, richer textures, and colors that feel warm rather than loud. If you're planning to update even a few pieces this season, this guide breaks down exactly what's worth buying, what to skip, and why. Here's what's actually happening on the runways and in real closets this fall, and how to translate it into pieces you'll actually wear. What's Driving This Season's Trends This fall is being called the season of "coatmaxxing" for a reason — outerwear isn't playing a supporting role anymore, it's the entire outfit. Designers are leaning into decadent, tactile fabrics: brocade, shearling, plush faux fur, and soft leather, often in richer, more saturated colors ...

How to Stop Static Cling in Dresses and Skirts

Static cling. Ugh. If you’ve ever felt like your skirt or dress is attacking you every time you move, you know exactly what I mean. It’s that little shocky villain that makes you tug and pull at your clothes like some kind of frantic magician trying to escape a sticky trap. I’ve been there countless times. Silk skirts sticking to my legs during a night out, a polyester dress refusing to flow at an office party, even wool skirts clinging in winter like they’re auditioning for a clingy drama role. After a while, I had to figure out how to fix this once and for all . Here’s my personal, tried-and-true guide to banishing static from skirts and dresses —without resorting to harsh chemicals or ruining your fabrics. 1. Moisturize Your Skin (Yes, Really) Dry skin = static’s best friend. The less moisture on your skin, the more your clothes stick. I learned this the hard way after tugging at a wool skirt all day and wondering why my thighs were so… entertained. Tip: Apply a light lotion...

Style Advice for Women Going Through Chemotherapy: Comfort, Confidence, and Small Everyday Wins

Chemotherapy changes how clothes feel against your skin, how your body regulates temperature, and how much energy you have left for anything beyond the basics. None of that makes style trivial — if anything, it makes small, comfortable choices matter more, not less. This isn't about looking a certain way or performing wellness. It's practical, physical-comfort-first advice for a body going through something demanding, with a few small style choices mixed in for the days when a little color or a favorite scarf genuinely helps. What follows focuses on fabric, adaptive design, and comfort-first choices that work with treatment side effects rather than against them. Why Comfort-First Dressing Matters During Treatment Treatment affects skin sensitivity, temperature regulation, and energy levels all at once, which means clothing decisions that felt automatic before can suddenly require real thought. Soft, breathable fabrics aren't a preference here — they're often a genuine...
