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.
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?
