Flip-flops and sandals aren’t the only summer footwear options. Different styles are required for various events.
Shoes that are appropriate for everything from garden parties to lunch or dinner to long rural treks.
In this article, I’ll talk about five essential summer shoe designs that any well-dressed lady should have in her closet.
If you want to look put together, you should never neglect the importance of comfortable footwear, because you’ll never look or feel your best if you’re wearing something uncomfortable, because you’ll carry yourself differently.
Ballerina Flats
A pair of ballerina flats is the first pair of shoes that I believe every lady should own in summer.
I’m aware that many women dislike revealing their toes or simply dislike flip flops. A ballerina flat is a good summer shoe alternative.
A very feminine-looking shoe that never goes out of style and comes in a variety of colors and styles.
A plain outfit can be dressed up with a ballerina flat.
They effortlessly pull the outfit together with a tiny black dress and a black bag.
A red ballerina flat can add a pop of color to a basic outfit of a white shirt and blue jeans. This is a lovely way to change up a classic pairing.
A tan ballet flat looks terrific with another traditional outfit of jeans and a striped t-shirt.
Floral dresses look stunning when coupled with a pair of nude ballet flats. They have a really feminine look to them, and because they are skin toned, they don’t take away from the beauty of the fabric.
Ballet flats are perfect for wearing with summer dresses or a skirt and top. Alternatively, wide-leg flowy trousers can be worn.
I adore adding a touch of animal print to an outfit, and an animal print shoe is the perfect way to do it. I wear these in a variety of ways.
I prefer leopard print and wear it with shorts and a white top, a white shirt, or a t-shirt in the warmer months.
I adore the combination of camel and white leopard print, so I wore them with white underwear and a camel blazer. Then I’d add in a black or tan crossbody bag for good measure.
Unfortunately, many ballerina flats aren’t ideal for your feet. Because they lack arch support, which can lead to a variety of foot issues. You should look for ballerina flats with arch support or that are cushioned.
Trainers
I’ve stated before that I’m not a big fan of wearing trainers. I wear them because I believe they are functional and should be included in every summer wardrobe.
They come in a variety of colors, but my favorite is the pure white because it goes with everything.
I prefer to wear trainers with jeans rather than dresses or skirts.
I prefer to wear a white trainer with white jeans and then a striped Breton top on top of that. I’d then add a khaki green lightweight jacket and possibly a basket bag to break up the whiteness of the outfit.
Trainers are ideal for wearing with jeans when you’re on the go and don’t need to wear anything fancy.
I also wear blue jeans with trainers. They wear great with a striped top, a linen white blazer, and a black tote bag, for example. With that, I’d also put a crossbody bag.
Wearing the same outfit but switching bags gives an outfit a new look, and it’s the simplest outfit to make a classic look less monotonous.
Shorts and trainers are my go-to outfits. They create a really relaxed look when worn together.
I’d add a colored blazer and a basket bag for those occasions when I want to feel a little nicer but still require sensible shoes. I’d pair it with a tan tote as well.
Loafers
In the summertime, loafers are the footwear of choice.
When open toe sandals aren’t acceptable or you just need something more perfect than a trainer, this is the shoe for you.
In the summertime, the loafers can be worn in a variety of stylish ways.
A white loafer looks great with white jeans and a blue shirt. It’s a very light and airy summer look. They also look fantastic with all white and a tan tote bag. They look great with summer dresses and a pair of jeans on top. They look fantastic with a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.
They’re simply an extremely adaptable shoe.
I have a few red ones. They’re quite comfortable, feel like I’m walking on clouds, and are extremely soft on my feet.
A pair of red shoes may be worn in a surprising number of ways. The red shoes add a nice splash of color to the outfit.
In the evenings, you could add a thin knit cardigan in beige or use this for an autumn full look by wearing black shorts and a white shirt or t-shirt with the red shoes.
The great thing about loafers is that they can be worn throughout the year.
I also wore red loafers with black pants, a white button-down shirt, and a printed blazer for a final look. This is a sophisticated look, but it’s also a very comfortable one, and I’d be happy to wear it all day.
Mules
Mule shoes appeal to me, and I believe they should be included in any summer shoe shoe.
They’re far nicer than flip flops, and they can look pretty beautiful for dressier events.
I have a pair of mule shoes in a neutral color that goes with everything. They have a very modest heel that is quite walking, and they give me just enough height without being too high.
In the summertime, a mule looks wonderful with trousers, especially white jeans. Combine it with a striped top, either with or without a blazer, and some tan.
They go well with skirts and tops, and they look especially nice with cropped pants. More summery pieces might be used to create these outfits.
This shoe would look wonderful with white and a pop of pink to complement the shoes. Instead of a jacket, consider a bag or a light cardigan.
These are the next best thing to a nude heel in the summertime for me. I like how they look, how they’re not too high, how comfortable they are to walk in, and how they keep my feet cool.
Heels
I understand that not everyone can or wants to wear heels, but I wanted to include a pair in this list for those occasions when you need to dress up a little more in the summer.
My nude heels are one of my favorites because they stretch the legs and match with anything. These can be worn with a variety of outfits.
I have a pair with a high square toe and a high eight-centimeter heel. They’ve got these extremely well-made straps that will provide you with additional support where it’s needed.
If you have a great summer dress and a special occasion to work that requires a heel, this shoe would be ideal.
They’d work excellent with a straight-leg trouser, especially if it’s too long.
The toe shape and heel would look great with a flowing trouser, but they’d also look great with a cropped pant.
With a skirt and top outfit, a heel always looks excellent, and if the top has a print, a plain neutral shoe like this would accent the outfit rather than overpower it.
For those smarter summer events, a little heeled shoe is a must-have.
