Shoes are always the final piece when I get ready, and I find myself grabbing the same pair of Nike Panda Dunks a little too often. While they’re of course reliable, I want my footwear to convey the same amount of effort I put into the rest of my outfit. So this season, I'm making a point of taking some of my favorite summer shoe trends for a spin. From slingback flats to colorful trainers, we’ve curated the best shoes for each summer trend we’re obsessed with below.
Blue Hues
From icy to royal, shades of blue are taking center stage. As spotted by street style photographer, @watchingnewyork, New York’s most fashionable are dousing their closets in blue hues.
Sleek & Sporty
The influence of “blokette” style isn’t going away anytime soon. Sports have solidified their space in the fashion vernacular. From vintage soccer jerseys to Zendaya’s array of tennis-core looks during the Challengers press tour, it’s easy to understand the hype.
Nouveau Bohemian
You’ll never hear me utter the words “boho-chic,” but bohemian is a different story. Scrap Coachella-circa-2014 from your mind, pronto, and start picturing the likes of Etro and Isabel Marant.
Metallics
Bronzes, chromes, and flashes of silvers—metallics are always a good idea. Pops of shine can give a minimalist look all the dimension it needs.
