Summer sandals are the most popular and comfortable shoes of the warm season. Fashionable sandals combine extravagant design ideas and unprecedented comfort, which has become a real cult of recent years. Stylists continue to insist that it is shoes that create the desired image, so the choice of this accessory should be approached responsibly and carefully. However, fashion is democratic and diverse, so every woman can easily find a mate to her liking. The main trends of this season are easy to remember: elegant forms, expressive styles, rich decor and unlimited comfort.
Materials
Most designers preferred the classics and decided to use genuine leather and suede. Summer sandals made of these materials look beautiful, serve for a long time and allow the skin to breathe, which is especially important during the heat. However, this list of materials is not limited to the trend - eco-leather, made by artificial means, but not inferior to natural analogues in its consumer properties. Please note that we are not talking about cheap leatherette, in which the legs are unpleasantly soaring, such products have nothing to do with a technological novelty - real eco-leather.
Jeans sandals for everyday use and satin sandals are also in fashion for special occasions.
Colors
The most popular are traditional neutral colors: black, white, beige, red. Also, metallic summer sandals are still in fashion, which have not lost their relevance for several seasons in a row. Moderately bright, but noticeable and stylish sandals of a metallic shade are suitable for different clothes: casual, elegant or beach.
The animalistic coloring “under the leopard” looks quite neutral, but, unlike a simple brown tone, gives along an interesting zest. Multi-colored sandals made of strips of leather in different shades will make the shoes absolutely universal: such shoes will suit any outfit and will harmoniously fit into the everyday ensemble.
Flat Sandals
Due to the heat, girls often feel heaviness in their legs, unpleasant swelling appears. Age does not matter here: the whole problem is the increased air temperature. Flat shoes will help mitigate this effect caused by sweltering heat. Women's summer flat sandals made of soft leather, suede or textile materials are in fashion. To provide comfort to the legs, fashionistas should abandon the slippers and choose a style with a secure mount on the ankles.
The trend is interesting models made of pearl beads, decorated with metal rivets and shimmering crystals. Above, you can see in the photo summer sandals, which are suitable for everyday wear, and for elegant looks.
Espadrilles
These stylish summer sandals on a platform decorated with a rope or a textile pigtail have won the hearts of fashionistas around the world thanks to their incredible comfort. They are perfectly combined with any casual and safari clothes: denim shorts, cotton and linen dresses, lace dresses.
Thanks to the top of the fabric, you can choose models with closed fingers: the breathable material freely lets air in and prevents your feet from sweating even in the heat.
High heeled sandals
Summer sandals with heels visually reduce the foot and make it petite. Such shoes are intended primarily for special occasions and are not suitable for everyday wear. Classic models with thin straps, more creative models of silver color, as well as bright and complex styles with large bows and other decor are in fashion. A more restrained but interesting option is suede shoes: summer sandals made of this material allow the skin to breathe and look extremely elegant.
In addition to thin hairpins, designers offer women of fashion more restrained models with a wide, stable heel that can be worn even with everyday outfits (due to the convenient shape, the leg is almost not strained).
Platform and wedge heel
Summer wedge sandals will suit those fashionistas who are not ready to give up high heels, but prefer a more democratic style for the summer. Such shoes are characterized by increased comfort, looks graceful, feminine and elegant, but does not allow the legs to get too tired. A wedge heel can be worn with absolutely any outfit: linen office suits, long sundresses, tight dresses, jeans and shorts.
A more massive model - platform sandals - has long been popular with fans of stylish accessories. The model is more demanding on the outfit, does not combine with business clothes and is not for everyone. Shoes on the platform can only afford thin, graceful women, and in all other cases, sandals will make the figure too bulky.
Medium heel
Finding the right balance between femininity and comfort will help summer sandals with medium heels. There are two options for such shoes: the heel can be stable or thin, like a hairpin. The latter option even has its own name: Kitten Heel, or "cat heel." Along with sandals on the platform, this style is popular: the height of the heel is no more than 3-5 cm, so it does not overload the legs, but the gait instantly becomes more graceful. In fashion leather, suede and textile shoes of various colors: black, white, beige, burgundy, raspberry, blue, blue.
Sandals with medium heels are combined with any outfits: business, casual, formal, romantic. They look equally harmonious with skirts, and with trousers, shorts, summer overalls.
Rich decor
Modesty remains in trend, but carelessness and femininity come to the fore. This season, designers tried to surprise fashionistas with rich decor, and models decorated with massive bows, large and small rhinestones, pompons, numerous straps, rivets and other interesting details entered the catwalk.
Large beads, flowers, fanciful buckles complement women's fashion sandals and make them the main focus of the outfit. The decor is designed in a catchy, bold, even evening style, but is designed to be worn at any time of the day. Original and bright styles with imitation of crocodile skin, decorated with precious metals, large crystals, turn the outfit into a work of art. Do not be afraid that such shoes will look too elegant - originality and individualism are in fashion.
Minimalism
Minimalism is the exact opposite of decorated styles. The modest and quiet design of sandals is exceptionally elegant, emphasizes the refined taste of its owner and does not interfere with the “sound” of the other elements of the outfit. Neat and lightweight, almost weightless-looking sandals made of a pair of the thinnest straps make the female foot small and elegant.
Minimalistic shoes harmoniously combine with any outfits: business suits, short and long dresses, shorts and jeans with a T-shirt, T-shirt or shirt. An exception is the popular summer safari style: such a delicate design contradicts the concept of this direction. Sandals with thin beige straps make the legs visually longer, and dark shades are ideal for evening dresses.
Sporty style
Sporty summer sandals have gone far beyond sports and youth fashion. They are ideal for everyday wear, combine beautifully with everyday outfits and are most comfortable.
The styles of fashionable sandals are distinguished by diversity and absolute democracy. There is no need to choose shoes to match the tone and even the style of a woman’s handbag, so fashionistas have the opportunity to create completely unique images, elegant, interesting and feminine. However, do not forget about the main requirement that summer sandals must meet: fashionable shoes should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable.
