Skip the Sneakers and Buy These Summer Shoes Instead
Caught in the convenient rut of pairing everything you own with your staple sneakers? We get you. But there comes a time when the weather warms up, and we say it’s time to start thinking about investing in not just any old shoes, but seriously lust-worthy shoes that are worth your time this summer.
We’ve seen the likes of espadrilles, ballet flats and metallic heels take off in 2017, and with good reason. They are all super comfortable and versatile, which is always good news. But now we're ready for something new. With the same intention in mind, we’ve done a mini round up of the three summer shoe trends that are taking off right now. Tapping into the woven leather trend, the thin strap slides and the cut-out shoe trend, there’s clearly a space for feminine and flattering footwear this season. Opt for light colours like beige, white, and cream and pair them with everything from your worn in denim to your colourful summer dresses.
Keep scrolling to check out the best summer shoe trends and invest in your wardrobe.
Woven Mules
When we have to say a temporary goodbye to velvet and satin, we say hello to woven leather. Try fresh white for an easy match with your summer outfits.
Thin Strap Slides
Taking the slide trend even further and tapping into the ultimate '90s trend of thin strap slides. Embellishments and pretty detailing for extra points.
