The Best Trending Flat Shoes for Spring/Summer

The Spring-Summer runways invite you to indulge in a ballet of textures, where classic flat shoe styles pirouette into modern interpretations, dancing effortlessly between brilliant finishes and enticing textures. This season the detailing is different. While not necessarily minimal, colorful prints and embellishments are traded in for a new definition of detailing. Metallics add shine and interest without overindulgence of embellishment, and mesh transparency adds a new dimension to basic shapes while woven uppers add a tactile interest. Embrace the new definition of flat and ballerina shoes this season, where every step is a symphony of style and sophistication.

Cute, feminine and fabulously flat, this season takes a turn away from impractically flashy heels in preference of more versatile ballerina style shoes. A favorite of the early 2000s, shoe styles like mules and ballet flats are back with a new approach centered around demure detailing. Metallic studs, glossy leather, smooth suede and an altogether innovative use of materials bring ballerinas into the modern era that favors subtle palettes and a nod toward hyper-edited embellishment. Perfect with casual fits, sparkling flats can add some glam to laid-back looks styled with a t-shirt and your favorite skirt, or take on the night in occasion looks and trade in your heels for this more comfortable option.

This season champions an array of delightfully versatile flat shoes and, love them or not, thong sandals are a major must-have for Spring-Summer perfect for laid-back summer days by the sea, or glammed up with sexy mini dresses and brilliant jewelry for seasonal soirèes. What we often think of as fashion’s most casual sandals, these flats are taking an unexpectedly elegant twist with chic leather finishes and low heels.

Brilliant metallics like silver made a serious impression on the runways. Consider this the newest “neutral” bridging the gap between classic tones and bold brilliance. Metallic shoes offer an elegant alternative for a pop of interest in casual looks paired with jeans and a classic shirt or dressed up in a celebration of style with full-on metallic monochrome in pieces like the shimmering dresses that made their way down the runways.

Barely-there mesh brings a new dimension to flat footwear with neutral see-through uppers and advantageously edited embellishments featuring clear crystals and delicate embroidery. A touch of transparency brings an air of playful sensuality to your look offering a glimpse of skin in unexpected ways. Elongate bare legs in dresses, or add some illusion to pant looks – mesh shoes are destined to leave an impression.

Indulge in a textural treat with woven flat shoes, bringing monochrome neutrals to a new level of sophistication. Evoking vacation vibes and good times, they’re the perfect fit for casual summer looks. These woven wonders come in all shapes and sizes, from ballerinas to slingback sandals and flip-flops. Pair them effortlessly with easy breezy linen dresses or summer suit sets, or lean into the vacation vibes with a chic foulard, shorts, and your favorite bikini top as you stroll seaside.
