6 Unexpected Shoe Trends For Summer 2021

From the runway to Instagram.

Every season, there’s a handful of sandal styles that supersedes the rest. Shoppers are looking for pairs that strike a balance between practical and over-the-top, something cool with a manageable heel.

Between the never-ending scroll of Instagram and the globe-spanning array of runway reports, it can be difficult to keep up with the must-try trends of the season—especially those you’re hoping will last beyond sale season. Before shopping, answer this question: Do you want kicks you can wear every day or a pair that you reach for every once in a while? If you’re on the hunt for a statement shoe, The Attico’s Devon sandals have already amassed a cult following. More practical styles include anything of the slip-on variation, but with a luxe twist, like JW Anderson’s Chain Slides.

Thanks to styles like Daniel Lee’s netted sandals for Bottega Veneta, the mesh design is having a major moment right now. With an emphasis on the open-knit pattern for summer 2021, many brands have added details like ankle ties and anklet chains to set theirs apart from the bunch.

One of the best parts of having a pair of sky-high heels on hand is their undeniable ability to have a leg-lengthening effect and create a streamlined silhouette. It’s one of the reasons why brands like The Attico and Nodaleto have gravitated toward the design for summer 2021. Pro tip: Opt for a style in a candy-coloured shade to fully commit to the trend.

Keeping in line with the trend of practicality for 2020, summer 2021 is all about the comfortable shoe with a chic twist. Fan favourites include the sandal version of JW Anderson’s coveted chain loafers and any leather slides from household names like The Row. The best part is that the footwear trend can be worn with biker shorts running errands or free-flowing sundresses alike.
