Summer days are almost here, and it’s finally that time of year again when winter boots are stored away and sandals and flip-flops come back out. During hot summer days, it’s all about choosing shoes that help you stay cool and comfortable whilst still looking cute and stylish. And, this summer, footwear trends are all about wearability and comfort. If you’re thinking about updating your shoe collection ready for the new season, here are some trending styles you should put on your shopping list.
Sneakers are a timeless choice of footwear for the summer; whether it’s a petite pair of pastel Converse or your trusty classic black and white Vans, they’ll look great with a summer dress, a pair of shorts, or your jeans on a breezy day. This summer, chunky sneakers are back with a bang, and 90s-style Balenciaga sneakers are a massive statement. They’re perfect if you want to rock the athleisure look this summer, but don’t shy away from pairing them with a dress or skirt either; their versatile design will go with just about anything. And, they’re comfortable and breathable – perfect for long walks on hot days. Have a look at SSENSE for a great range of Balenciagas to treat yourself to this summer.
Slide-on shoes are all the rage this summer and it’s easy to see why; they’re practical, cool and comfortable. Whether you opt for faux fur to make a feminine fashion statement, classy leather sliders or sporty pool slides, they’re a must-have for anybody this summer whether you’re heading to the beach or not.
It’s a trend that’s come back around massively this summer, and leopard print isn’t set to go anywhere anytime soon. Over the winter, we’ve seen a growing trend of leopard and animal print boots, sweaters, cardigans, accessories and much more – and the trend is set to continue right through the summer season, especially when paired with bright, summery neon colours. Leopard ballets and sandals are definitely high on every fashionista’s shopping list this summer; they’re the perfect finish to a light and breezy outfit.
Neons and bright colours are definitely coming back around this season, so if you like to stand out from the crowd and make a big statement with your outfit, it’s the perfect choice for you. Or if you prefer to stick to neutral colours, a pair of neon pink, green, yellow, orange or blue sandals, sliders or flats can make your outfit pop and stand out just the right amount.
Last but not least, mesh is going to be huge this season when it comes to both clothing and footwear. And, it’s the perfect, breathable material to go for if you’re not a fan of barely-there heels and want some more support for your feet without the extra heat of lots of material. Mesh booties are a great option for summer, if you want to rock a pair of ankle boots on a night out whilst staying cool and comfortable.
