There are a number of choices for Spring/Summer footwear, alternately modest, campy, or trendy: like chunky-heeled Mary Janes and wedges, millennium styles, or even rustic Boho Western chic. In place of earthy tones that can predominate in the Fall/Winter season, bold colors are, for many, preferred shades of choice in warmer weather. Here's a List of some fun ideas for Spring/Summer footware.
Kickstarted by Miu Miu’s viral ballet flats, the chic and practical ballet flats is a ubiquitous trend for Spring and Summer. Various brands have updated the flats with more color options and patterns, breathing new life into the old classic.
Compared to sky high stilettos, kitten heels are more sensible for those wanting a feminine look that’s also comfortable. These teeny tiny heels are great to wear outdoors; perfect for going out for some fun in the sun.
The bold dominance of this look continues – the longstanding popularity of Mary Jane means that more and more brands have come up with their own interpretation of the style.
Chunky wedges have been a hallmark of a 'Y2K' trend; it's likely to continue to be the footwear of choice for many. The thick heels have also been seen in combination with sneakers or boots, creating a unique design.
The millennium style’s bold aesthetic has shown itself in the emergence of metallic shoes of all sorts. Silver isn’t the only color choice in this trend, as metallic pink, green, gold, and blue will compete to shine as well. The shinier, the better!
Western or cowboy aesthetics was big in the early aughts, so it’s no wonder that high leather boots are seeing a comeback too. With boho chic also seeing a resurgence of interest, the appeal of these shoes rides higher.
A rise in biker chic has promoted an emergence of masculine and gritty footwear. Feminine touches like slimmer frames or platform heels are tailor-made for ladies looking to sport these kicks, though who’s to say ladies can’t opt for the OG?
In another fun outfit trend, cute bow ties can also be seen on footwear. The ultra-girly detail is often seen in tandem with the likes of ballet flats or kitten heels for those opting for a classic feminine aesthetic.
Bold colors might be considered a prominent trend, but transparent footwear is close behind. A clean, ultra-modern silhouette is a unique interpretation on a Y2K trend for those with a more minimalistic preference.
Basketball sneakers continue their long-standing mainstream favorite status. The high top model, preferred by stars on and off the court, will always be a fave choice. Stylish, durable, and comfortable - what could be better? With some Y2K hype there's a mixture of vintage models from the era to be found as well.
