I Lost It When I Saw Zara's Newest Shoes—Every Cool-Girl Trend Is in There

Whenever I spot a new trend that I need to have, I'm on the Zara website within seconds trying to find out how to get the look. I head straight to Zara because I know that the brand is so ahead of everything that I'm bound to find what I'm looking for. During one of my latest shopping trips, I couldn't help but notice just how good the latest shoe drop was.

I took a breath of relief after having discovered that the cool-girl trends are alive and well and so easy to shop on the Zara site. After a quick scroll, I learned that the brand is predicting the below six trends will be the best of the summer. They'll sell out fast, so you're going to want to make moves.

FIT FOR A PRINCESS

Fashion people are basically royalty in New York City, so it only makes sense that I've been seeing this princess-inspired shoe trend everywhere. Think Cinderella's glass slippers, but on steroids. You'll find embellishments, PVC, bows, and so much more.

WOVEN WONDERS

Everyone's been loving their basket bags and raffia accessories for ages, and the trend has finally made its way down south and is dominating the footwear category. If you have a vacation coming up this summer, this trend is required. Whether it's rope, knotted leather, or straight-up raffia, you can't go wrong with whatever way you decide to wear this look.

Shop the trend:

Y2K REVIVAL

Just when we thought that all of the Y2K trends had made their comeback, look what arrives out of left field—wedge sandals. It felt like the trend popped up overnight, and now, all the fashion people have it on their list of not-so-secret weapons. Add PVC to really dedicate yourself to the early aughts.

Shop the trend:

STRAPPY AS CAN BE

There's nothing sexier than finishing off a look with strappy sandals. Zara is stacked with options that will perfectly pair with your collection of summer minidresses. I already have 10+ pairs but am so close to getting another.

Even if you're a minimalist, you're going to need to give this trend a try. Any simple outfit can be taken to the next level when you add a bright and colorful pair of shoes. You don't need to dress up to look put-together thanks to the below sandal styles.

Touch the sky with these platform shoes that will take you to new heights. It's no secret that fashion editors have a soft spot for platform sandals. They are the perfect way to make a statement no matter where you go.
