Heeled Slides
Do you like the rubber shoe trend but prefer a more feminine look? Then you should check out the viral Gucci Rubber Slides. They remind us of Barbie shoes and give every outfit an instant ’90s vibe. They come in multiple cute colours to match your aesthetic – from Barbie pink to blue to black. The small black heel makes it easy to wear them all day without feeling uncomfortable or getting nasty blisters. Rubber slides are a must in everyone’s summer wardrobe.
Flat Sandals
You can never go wrong with flat sandals. Do you go to a picnic? Wear a white dress with flat sandals. Do you go swimming? Wear your bikini with flat sandals. Perfect for every day, as they are comfortable to walk in all day, you can also dress them up. Elevate every summer outfit without being over the top with your favourite pair of flat sandals.

Kitten Heel Sandals
The tiny kitten heel gives you a sophisticated look without sacrificing being comfortable. They are dressier than your flat sandals but give you more freedom than high heels. And even though we all love dressing up, sometimes we need a comfortable and easy to wear outfit. Kitten heel sandals are perfect for those days as they can even elevate your sloughy loungewear outfit. If you don’t own a pair yet, you should get them immediately. They are a staple!
Platform Sandals
The perfect shoe to our Y2K dreams. Platform sandals give you a hight boost while being the most comfortable shoes in your collection. They are giving Lizzie McGuire and Barbie aesthetic! Those chunky sandals are bold and brave, not something for everyone.
Braided Sandals
Our Instagram feed has been full of braided sandals for a month. The sandals with a new twist are the summer trend 2022, and we can understand why. There are many different styles of braided sandals, but they all fit any summer occasion. Pairing them with a bikini for a beach party or with a chic dress for a wedding – with braided sandals, you can never go wrong.
Chunky Sandals
Bulky sandals have become pretty popular and are an influencer and celeb favourite, even though some might say they look like dad shoes. In the beginning, we put them in the category “ugly shoes”, but we are obsessed now. From Chanel to Gucci, every designer brings out a pair of chunky sandals, and you can’t escape this trend. It can be hard to style them because of their bulky and tough look, but bloggers show us how to do it right. With a simple white dress, a blazer look, or laid-back loungewear, your chunky sandals can give you the spice you were looking for. An eye-catcher you should try for yourself.
Strappy Sandals
Strappy sandals can elevate even your simplest outfit. The thin strappy silhouette and multiple straps that wrap vertically around the foot have been en vogue for a few years now. Lucky for us because we can’t get enough of these shoes. The strappy look reminds us of Greek gods. Summer wedding or garden party – be sure that your strappy sandals add elegance and glamour to your fit.
Mules
Another y2k trend we adore and will fall in love with this summer. Mules can be easily slipped on and off as you leave the house. Perfect for hot weather and styled in diverse ways, mules are the perfect summer shoe and a staple in every wardrobe.
Flatforms
Fisherman platforms are a classic if you want to add edge to your outfit. These sturdy shoes are more practical footwear, making them comfortable and perfect for every summer adventure. Styled with cute socks and a mini skirt, you can’t go wrong.
Block Heel Sandals
The secret to comfortable shoes is block heeled sandals. These shoes save our poor ankles as the thick heel makes it easy to walk all day. These sandals are chic and can be worn with anything: a bridesmaid dress, skirts and even jeans. And the best thing: they are super comfortable! You can stand at a wedding all day, run to get the bus and go to work. Nothing will stop you from looking elegant while going on with your day.
