Summer has hit the floor with its warmth and bright colours. High time you start stocking up the season’s key pieces in your wardrobe, including a pair (or more) of great shoes. With so many shoes and so little time, we are here to make your hunt a little easier. Taking cues from spring-summer runway trends, here’s our curation of the top 10 shoes which you will treasure not just this season, but all year round.
Mules
Lusting for the year’s coolest footwear? You’ve got to gift yourself a pair of mules. From flat to heeled, the right pair serves more than one sartorial purpose.
Sneakers
Comfort and trend go hand in hand. Wear it right and you can team a sneaker with everything, from jeans and dresses to pantsuits.
Tie-up Sandals
This season, the runways saw an explosion of tied-up sandals. From Miu Miu’s gingham ribbon trimmings to Prada’s futuristic flats, distinct details marks this standout style.
Flatforms
Move over platform heels. Flatforms are the new It shoes, raising your inches without any hint of discomfort. Little wonder everyone loves these!
Kitten heels
A flash of contrast in a crowd of sky high heels, these dainty numbers are perfect for spring. Check out our picks of this hot trend.
Gladiators
Gladiators are back in action, but not without a twist. From ankle-length to knee high, these Roman numbers are like armour for your feet.
Metallic shoes
From Emanuel Ungaro to Giambattista Valli, metallic and glittering shoes were all over the spring-summer collections. Pick your choice of sparkle and make a statement.
Boots
Craving for summer boots? Opt for ankle-length boots finished with buckles and studs. For the not-so-faint hearted, Western-inspired cowboy boots are a major hit this season.
Slip-ons
Apart from trending mules, no shoe collection is complete without a pair or two of slides. From colourful strappy sandals to beachy flip flops, pick one of each.
Animal Print
In all their wild glory, classic animal print can never go out of fashion. Opt for a leopard or snake print pair to add a bold stroke to the plainest ensemble..
Whether you like your feet on the ground or towering with a sky-high pair of heels, this guide covers every bit of leg space. Stock up for a collection that (almost) as good as Carrie Bradshaw’s shoe closet.
