Summer Shoe Trends

I have a shoe obsession. Of course I love my boots, but I’m happy to see them snuggled away in the back of my closet until next season.  Right now, I’m turning my toes toward summer sandals, and my favorite place to shop is online.  The styles and selections are unbeatable.  Here are the latest trends and some of my favorite summer shoes.  Keep these trends in mind, whether you shop in stores or online. 

Color
Bright, saturated shoes are showing up everywhere in the form of stripes, blocking and solids.  There’s no holding back this summer.  Be bold and pair bright shoes with a bright summer sundress or add a pop of color to a neutral outfit.  Colorful shoes will keep you on trend.

Espadrilles
These beachy classics have been reinvented into a  cute, casual style for everyone.  Whether you choose a flat version for the sand or go for a dramatic platform version laced around the ankle, this classic style can be worn in many ways.

Strappy Styles
Summer is the time to soak up the sun, and with strappy styles you give your feet the chance to do the same.  This look can be found in many shapes and styles, from a high to low heel and wide to slender straps, so find the one that fits you. 

Platform Sandals
Theyyy’reee baaackkk.  Take your shoes one step closer to sky-high.  Towering heels are seen everywhere this season, and platforms make these heights more wearable.  Be even more trendy by picking out a platform in one of the above styles.
