Like you, I am counting down the days until summer. But it's not just the sunny vibes I crave—I'm eager to show off the latest and greatest summer shoe trends. Bc think about it—our days in the sun should be about looking and feeling our best. And shoes are a big part of that (unless you're in a bikini and barefoot on the beach, ofc).
Imagine pairing some Mary Jane flats with a sheer dress (hello, cool girl aesthetic). Oh, and the caged sandal is perfect for those days when you just want a lil bit more coverage. The beloved mule is back—an easy and chic shoe option to throw on when running out. Last but definitely not least, expect strappy sandals and flip-flops—summer classics that are back with modern and updated touches. Scroll through to find some inspiration for the upcoming dog days.
