If you’re looking for some new shoes for spring and summer and want to find something that’s stylish as well as comfortable and practical — this post is for you. With the weather warming up, time to put away your favorite pairs of boots and break out the sandals, slides, and espadrilles. Whether you are a fashionista or want some versatile shoes for summer activities, it’s all covered here. These styles are easy to pair with your favorite outfits, and you’ll want to be wearing them all season long.
Sneakers
Sneakers are a failsafe choice for warm weather. Look for comfortable insoles and colors that you can pair with a variety of outfits. White is the most classic choice since it goes with anything but dare to be bold this summer by wearing some pops of color like these fun Staud sneakers.
Loafers
An often overlooked summer shoe, loafers are a great choice for an effortless on-the-go look. Wear them with shorts, jeans, a dress—whatever you want! Plus, they are comfortable and work just as well in a casual setting as they do on the weekend. There’s also a wide variety of styles to choose from: penny loafers, tasseled loafers, classic Gucci loafers, fur-lined for colder weather, and more.
Mules
Mules are perfect for a casual day trip or a late-night dinner. The slip-on style makes it comfortable and easy to wear.
Tip: When wearing your mules with jeans, roll them up for a laid-back vibe or pair them with culottes. Maybe go for a preppy look and wear yours with bold colored socks and skirt.
Sandals
Sandals are one of the best choices for the hot summer days. You can wear them casually or wear them for an evening out.
Tip: Sandals can either be dressed up or down. Wear them with shorts and a t-shirt or a maxi dress.
Espadrilles
Espadrilles first appeared in Spain—and this is where their name comes from (derived from “esparto grass”). These shoes were made popular by Yves St Laurent in the late 1940s, and they were adopted as a fashion trend worldwide in the 1970s for their bohemian look. They can be casual or dressy, depending on the style, and they look great with skirts, shorts, and summer dresses.
