The #1 and #2 Shoes of Summer Are Under $85
We interrupt our regularly scheduled fall fashion programming to remind you that it's still summer, and we still have at least another month of wear left in our summer gear, which brings us to Lyst's seasonal report (aka The Lyst Index: Q2 2019), which ranks the hottest fashion brands and products of the summer.
Typically, the brands at the top of the search platform's heap are the usual suspects (Gucci, Balenciaga, Prada), but it's the Hottest Products section that is always fluctuating and always piques our interest. This season, it's a mix of It bags, special clothing items, and, of course, shoes. While we knew the two shoes on the list were hot items, we were surprised that they were the only shoes on the list: Teva Hurricane XLT2 (the report states, "searches for Teva Hurricane up 350% globally over the last three months"), and Topshop Strippy Sandals, which have been the top-selling sandals since the barely there trend started. The Tevas are $70, and the strappy Topshop heels are $80, and both have made multiple appearances on Instagram (and in our stories) as of late, so maybe we aren't so surprised after all.
Scroll on to shop the season's hottest shoes, as well as a few other still-in-stock items that made the list (or, Lyst).
