Fashion
April 9, 2026

Do you ever come back from a warm weather trip in the Spring and expect to wear your sandals and flip flops? We do too and the weather is chilly enough here to justify boots. Footwear choices at this time of year takes some thought. We start wearing our Spring jeans, sweaters and dresses-that are a bit lighter in fabric and colors.

Today’s blog topic focuses on must-have shoe selections from Spring to Summer that will complement your outfits. From chic sneakers, flats, strappy sandals and more-here’s footwear to take you through the seasons in style.

Must Have Shoe Selections From Spring to Summer

The round up of shoe styles we are showcasing here range from sneakers, flat sandals, heeled sandals and slingbacks. Currently, brands are sharing their new arrivals, included in the selections below. We also included some styles that are icons and released from year to year. Recently, we featured a blog post on just Ballet Flats- click here to go to this post. Let’s see what we found.

Elevated Sneakers

It’s amazing the amount of sneakers to choose from. The trend is a sleeker, more refined look with a streamlined profile. Look for neutral shades, soft metallic details and cushioned for all day wear. We both have the Vionic Winny Low Top Sneaker. Love this sneaker- it’s extremely comfortable and the leather elevated the look. Bev just ordered the On Cloudtilt Athletic Sneaker for training. The color is new and will look good styled with black, blue and white. Click on any photo below for more information.

Slingbacks- Flat or Heeled- All Polished

Slingback shoes are a major footwear trend for Spring. They add a polished and feminine look to any outfit. Details to consider- pointed toe, buckle options and heel height. Bev has the Ann Taylor Kerry Suede Slingback– an all seasons shoe for sure. Val has the Ally Tenacious Tan Mary Jane that is so incredibly comfortable. Take a look at the Tony Bianco Bertie Hi Shine Heel– looks so much like the Prada Leather Slingback, however, quite a bit less. Click on any photo below for more information.

Casual Shoes- Espadrille & Jelly

Espadrilles and Jelly shoes are trending this Spring and Summer. The profile most popular in a jelly is the ballet flat- that is why we included the Dolce Vita Jam Flat. For espadrilles, Tory Burch has the iconic Ines wedge and Ines flat. Click on any photo below for more information.

Nude Heels and Sandals

This truly must have shade of footwear is one of those rare wardrobe staples that check every box—versatile, flattering, and effortlessly elegant. For spring and summer especially, they become a go-to choice that works across nearly every occasion. Why we recommend them- they elongate your legs, go with everything, highlight your outfit by not competing with it and they are the perfect balance between casual and dressy. We organized the first group of strappy nude sandals for you to compare the prices of a very similar profile by- Quince | Dolce Vita | Loeffler Randall.
