5 Summer Shoes You Need
Time to swap out your footwear! Let us take you through the five essential picks everyone’s grabbing.
It's hotting up out there... Time for strappy open toe shoes — pedicure or not. Sandals, flip flops and ballet flats are summer classics. But 2025 brings fresh vibes across the board… See below for more and check out the nostalgic 80s-90s shoe that’s back and bigger than ever.
How to Wear: Flip Flops
Think flip flops are just for the pool? Think again! Copenhagen Fashion Week transformed classic flip flops from a basic beach staple to the chic, understated shoe to be seen in. Our simple soft soles are still vacay essentials. But if you’re wearing them every day, platform, woven or square toe flip flops are the best picks. We love ours with everything from baggy jeans and capri pants to dresses and maxi skirts.
Fisherman Sandal Style
Fisherman sandals might be the most practical summer shoes in our rundown. Their chunky soles and ankle straps have more support and cushioning than flip flops and flats, perfect when on your feet all day. Our chunky fisherman sandals are an easy way to make summer dresses more casual. And these flattering picks are great with denim shorts, especially longer "jorts" (jeans shorts) or Bermudas.
How To Wear: Jelly Shoes
Cue the nostalgia... Jelly sandals are back (and far from gimmicky childhood picks). Though not too different from fisherman sandals, it’s the glitter-flecked, shiny material that takes this shoe into more playful territory. But don’t let this stop you from wearing them for everyday. Their rigidity works well with breezy wardrobe go-tos like long skirts, linen pants, loose fit jeans and floaty dresses. But their wipe-clean material also makes them the perfect picks for the beach.
How to Wear: Ballet Flats
Quietly establishing itself as the go-to, no-fuss summer shoe, it seems ballerinas (or ballet flats) are finally getting their due. They work for the office, special events and everything in between — if you don’t already own some, now’s the time to jump on the ballerina bandwagon. Simple faux leather flats will always have a place in our closets, but 2025 trends like suede, mesh, studs and crochet have refreshed this flat and its styling opps. Straight, A-line and cropped clothes work best, whether that’s denim, dresses, skirts or pants. How will you wear yours?
Mary Janes
Made famous by a comic strip character’s love interest, a Mary Jane is defined as a closed toe, low-cut style with one or more straps across the top of the foot. While Mary Jane heels are also hot RN, it’s the flats we’re focusing on in this roundup. Their simple shape and lightweight feel make them the perfect picks in your city break suitcase or hand luggage. Lately, we’ve seen them styled with simple outfits like jeans and a nice top, suits and drop-waist dresses for whimsy. Leopard print, velvet and even gingham are just some of the Mary Janes in our collection.
