Summer shoes should maintain style but, above all, provide comfort for your feet. It's best to choose shoes that offer breathability and comfort to prepare for sweat and humidity, and ensure they don't hinder mobility. Opt for bright colors or decorative details to alleviate any sense of stuffiness for both the wearer and the observer. Here, we introduce various styles using summer-appropriate flat shoes that fulfill all these criteria.

Ballerina flats, which combine retro mood and classic charm, are strong this season as well. They feature ribbon details and a glossy texture, making them particularly suitable for styles that highlight the leg line, such as shorts or mini dresses. The deep-cut design reduces any feeling of tightness, making them perfect for summer shoes. Choosing a design with mesh material variations can create a refreshing styling look even in mid-summer.

Gladiator sandal-style flats with standout straps are perfect for summer festival looks or vacation outfits. They allow you to enjoy current trends like ethnic mood and hippie core with a restrained design, increasing practicality. Pairing them with casual looks like denim and cropped t-shirts can create a dressed-up atmosphere, while the foot strap adds a point of interest to minimal looks.

Mules are a must-have item for this season, enhancing style not only in daily looks but also in vacation outfits. Using materials like raffia or linen can highlight the seasonal vibe and create a more diverse summer look. They pair well with feminine items such as ribbons or shirring details, and at resorts, they can be combined with maxi dresses to complete a luxurious resort look, making them highly versatile.
