The Top 5 Must-Have Shoe Trends for Spring/Summer 2025

Retro Runners: The Cool-Girl Comeback

Athleisure gets a seriously stylish upgrade! Think vintage-inspired sneakers with a contemporary twist. Prada and Loewe led the charge, showcasing trainers that effortlessly blend sporty vibes with high-fashion aesthetics. Look for colorful high-tops (Loewe's Ballet Runner, we see you!), worn-in leather with contrasting socks (Miu Miu's effortlessly cool take), and crisp white pairs that ground tailored looks (Gucci's polished perfection).

Woven Wonders: Textural Temptation

As the sun shines brighter, embrace the intricate beauty of woven textures. This trend exudes a Parisian chic vibe, perfect for pairing with flowing skirts and breezy linen trousers. Seek out openwork weaving in delicate braided details (Staud's refined elegance), and airy leather flats (Jacquemus's effortless charm).

Cool-Girl Clogs: Boho Beauty Reimagined

The clog is back, and it's more stylish than ever! From towering wedges to grounded flats, this trend offers versatility and undeniable cool. Embrace the boho spirit with platform wedges (Chloé's new brown leather sensation), opt for walkable sandals (Hermès's pared-back sophistication), and style them with fringe and crochet for a contemporary edge (Ulla Johnson's laid-back luxe).

A New Kind of Loafer: Preppy with a Twist

Loafers are a spring staple, but this season, they're getting a modern makeover. Think scrunched leathers, square toes, and unexpected details that add a touch of preppy cool. Experiment with sleek penny-less designs (Prada's minimalist chic) and Miu Miu's playful take with its elastic, ballet-inspired heel on the classic penny loafer,always perfectly complementing her overall aesthetic. A signature element is her meticulously groomed eyebrows, frequently featuring a distinctive slit.

Flat Leather Sandals: Effortless Elegance

Flat sandals are a spring essential, and this season, they're taking on a more elevated look. Expect thicker, asymmetric straps, playful bead embellishments, and eye-catching cutouts. Embrace chunky straps and buckle adornments for a contemporary feel, or stick to minimal styles for timeless appeal. Think elevated flip flops with clean architectural lines (Toteme’s kitten heel design), and beautiful leather or suede (Bottega Veneta's soft leather.)
