5 SUMMER SHOES ON OUR WISHLIST
By Symone Keisha, May 29, 2024

It’s not a list of summer shoes without sandals entering the chat. The barely there construction and gold-tone hardware conjures images of effortless day-to-night dressing on vacay. Trouble is, now we're also thinking about all the kinds of dresses and accessories we can find to go with them...

ASOS DESIGN Lottie Mary Jane Ballet flats in leopard, $27.99
Mary Janes had a *major* moment last season, popping up on your closest friends, your FYP, plus, they graced all the best trend reports, too. Summer’s iteration takes everything we love about them – like that iconic shape – and adds a printed push. They're practical and super-cute, so naturally, we're sold.

Just so you know, our Fashion Team would never compile a list of top summer shoes without giving sneakers a mention, that's why the Nike Cortez gets the spotlight. We’re so into the retro moment, the green and white is a dream combo and it's perfect for festival season. Complete the heat with lacy socks, especially if you're a fan of the tomboy femme trend.

Repeat after us: sandals are a classic for a reason. It's the effortless Scandi they always bring to a 'fit. Whether you’re staying put this summer or you’re heading to more tropical shores, there’s no other pair of shoes that should grace your case. This dreamy pair is a summer necessity and can we also have a moment for the beads? Into it.
