Summer sandals are the most popular and comfortable shoes of the warm season. Fashionable sandals combine extravagant design ideas and unparalleled comfort, which has become a real cult of recent years. Stylists continue to insist that it is the 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 shapes, expressive styles, rich decor and boundless comfort.
Materials
Most of the designers preferred the classics and decided to use genuine leather and suede. Summer sandals made of these materials look beautiful, last a long time and allow the skin to breathe, which is especially important during the heat. However, the list of materials is not limited to this - eco-leather made by artificial means is in trend, but in terms of its consumer properties it is notinferior to natural analogues. Please note that we are not talking about cheap leatherette, in which the legs are unpleasantly steamed, such products have nothing to do with the technological novelty - real eco-leather.
Denim sandals for every day and satin sandals for special occasions are also in fashion.
Colors
The most popular traditional neutral colors are black, white, beige, red. Also, summer sandals in metallic colors are still in fashion, which have not lost their relevance for several seasons in a row. Moderately bright, but noticeable and stylish, metallic tone sandals are suitable for different clothes: casual, dressy or beach.
Animal leopard coloring looks quite neutral, but, unlike a simple brown tone, gives an interesting zest to the outfit. Crafted from strips of leather in different tones, these multi-coloured sandals make the shoe absolutely versatile and will go with any outfit and blend harmoniously into your 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 elevated air temperature. Flat shoes will help soften this effect caused by the sweltering heat. Women's summer sandals without a heel are in fashion, made of soft leather, suede or textile materials. To provide comfort to the legs, fashionistas should give upslippers and choose a style with a secure ankle fastening.
Interesting models made of pearl beads, decorated with metal rivets and shimmering crystals are in trend. Above you can see summer sandals in the photo, which are suitable for everyday wear and for elegant looks.
Espadrilles
These stylish summer platform sandals, decorated with rope or textile braid, have won the hearts of fashionistas around the world thanks to their incredible comfort. They go great with any casual and safari outfit: denim shorts, cotton and linen dresses, lace outfits.
The fabric upper allows you to choose models with closed toes: the breathable material freely lets air through and does not allow your feet to sweat even in the heat.
High-heeled sandals
Summer heeled sandals visually reduce the foot and make it petite. Such shoes are intended mainly for special occasions and are not suitable for everyday wear. Classic models with thin straps, more creative silver models, as well as bright and complex styles with large bows and other decor are in fashion. A more discreet but interesting option is suede shoes: summer sandals made of this material allow the skin to breathe and look exceptionally elegant.
In addition to thin hairpins, designers offer fashionistas more discreet models on a wide stableheels that can be worn even with casual outfits (thanks to the comfortable shape, the leg hardly strains).
Platform and wedges
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 distinguished by increased comfort, look elegant, feminine and elegant, but do not allow the legs to get too tired. Wedges 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 match with business attire and is not for everyone. Only thin, graceful women can afford platform shoes, and in all other cases, sandals will make the figure too bulky.
Medium heel
Find the right balance between femininity and comfort with mid-heel summer sandals. There are two options for such shoes: the heel can be stable or thin, like a hairpin. The last option even has its own name: Kitten Heel, or "cat's heel". Along with platform sandals, this style is popular: the heel height is no more than 3-5 cm, so it does not overload the legs, but the gait instantly becomes more graceful. Leather, suede and textile shoes of various colors are in fashion: black, white, beige, burgundy,crimson, blue, light blue.
Sandals with medium heels are combined with any outfit: business, casual, solemn, 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 adorned with massive bows, large and small rhinestones, pom-poms, numerous straps, rivets and other interesting details appeared on the podium.
Large beads, flowers, frilly buckles complement fashionable women's sandals and make them the main focus of the outfit. The decor is designed in a catchy, daring, 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 distinguished by exceptional elegance, emphasizes the refined taste of its owner and does not interfere with the "sound" of the rest of the outfit. Neat and light, almost weightless in appearance, sandals made from a pair of the thinnest straps make a woman's footsmall and delicate.
Minimalist shoes go well with any outfit: business suits, short and long dresses, shorts and jeans with a t-shirt, tank top or shirt. The exception is the popular summer safari style: such a delicate design contradicts the concept of this direction. Sandals with thin straps in beige make the legs look longer, while dark shades are perfect for evening wear.
Sport style
Summer sports style sandals have gone far beyond sports and youth fashion. They are perfect for everyday wear, pair beautifully with everyday outfits and are the most comfortable.
The styles of fashionable sandals are diverse and absolutely democratic. There is no need to match shoes to match the tone and even the style of a woman's handbag, so fashionistas have the opportunity to create completely unique looks, 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.
