These current shoe trends are here to inspire you on how to style up day-to-day outfits for summertime. Remember it's better to invest in pieces you actually gonna wear over and over and not necessarily on trends you don't like too much.

Platforms

In the past couple of months, the platform shoe has been coming back. The platform trend can be interpreted in many different ways: a flat platform, a heeled platform e.t.c Style them with mini skirts, dresses, shorts, plaid trousers to add some pizzazz to a more casual look. Versace had quite the notable pairs coming in fresh spring colorways adorned with chunky chains. For a retro Bratz doll vibe, wear them with white ankle socks, a cute mini skirt, a cropped top, and a shoulder bag.

Kitten Heels

This trend is so popular especially for summer months, as it's a lot easier and comfier to throw on a pair of strappy kitten heels than high ones. To avoid the 'Grandma style', wear them with a slinky, sexy, dress or a dressed-up look to keep a balance.

Loafers

We've seen them all over since the previous fall-winter season, and still, they have been carried over into spring and summer. Either you prefer chunky loafers or casual flat ones, this type of shoes can really upgrade a casual boring look. Comfortable, but dressy enough to give you a bit of attitude and chicness.

Retro Sneakers

This season the sneakers are more paired back and very retro looking. In terms of retro trainers, you can experiment with the chunky Converse high-tops or colorblock sneaks. From neons to pretty pastel hues, choose them in bright colors to pop up any outfit.

Dad Sandals

This shoe is a love or hate. If you are into it, you can pick up in a variety of different options. Think Birkenstocks, a sort of adventure trekking sporty sandals with a modern feel. This season, shoe designers have injected some color and fun into summer sandals.
