Shoes can add more than a touch of pizzazz to an outfit. It's officially time to stow away your worn-down winter boots and usher in a new lineup of sandals for summer. Much to the delight of shoe addicts everywhere, this season is all about the range when it comes to trends.
Giving us late '90s and early 2000s vibes, the strappy and minimal sandal is sure to reign as summer's hottest shoe. And we're already eyeing up several pairs to try the look.
From ultra-minimal sandals to snake prints and clear details, these are the shoe trends sure to know and shop for Summer 2019.
Barely-There Strappy Sandals
We've seen our fair share of naked dresses, now it's time to make room for the naked sandal. Both strappy and minimal, the barely-there sandals take it back to the late '90s and early 2000s footwear.
Sporty Sandals
Tevas are back—and getting the designer treatment too. The ultra-sporty, nylon flatform sandals look fresh when styled with midi skirts or dresses for spring and summer.
Feathers
Some subtle feather embellishment could definitely be very stylish. And feathers work best on heels for a night out or an event. Otherwise, it may end up with feathers trailing along the ground which simply ended up getting dirty.
But, if you can find flats where the feathers are placed strategically to keep them away from the floor, they could work too.
Or, maybe rather than feathers themselves, you could work the trend by looking out for a pair of shoes which have a feather print.
Snake Charmer
Animal prints have been taking over in all forms for several seasons now. This summer, try the look with a pair of luxe snake-print sandals that bring a little something different to your wardrobe of sundresses.
Orange is the new pink
For summer, it seems a sunshine shade is more in demand.
Orange was a big color trend when it came to shoes and would go beautifully with so many other colors for spring and summer, including neutrals like navy and white, and colors such as purple or green.
Crystal and metallics
If you love embellishment on your shoes, then this season, it has to be crystal. Opting for crystals could be a great way to add some extra bling for a summer event. The pearl detailing seen on the catwalks was also beautiful.
Or you could simply look for either heels or a pair of casual shoes in a metallic shade.
Sculptural Heels
Add a little something extra to your summer shoe collection with an artful geometric heel that will take any look to the next level.
In The Clear
Still going for that naked look, clear, PVC details are also key this season. From wedges to kitten heels and slides, there's an iteration of the look in every form of sandal to choose from.
