Welcome to #WhoWhatWearing, a series where we highlight you, our stylish community of readers. Each of the following looks came straight from the photos you tagged us in on Instagram. Want to be featured next time? You guessed it: Use #WhoWhatWearing on the outfit posts you want us to see.

It's no secret that we're low-key obsessed with our ridiculously chic readers. Whether they're inspiring us with their fearless fashion items or showing off how to wear this season's array of It bags, we're constantly looking to see what they (er, you) are up to. Lately, we've noticed you getting behind this summer's chicest shoe trends in a big way.

But after bearing witness to all the cool and creative outfits you've all been serving up recently, we're low-key sold on them. Just ahead, see which shoe trends we can't get enough of and shop our picks of each trend.
