19 Summer Shoes for Women
Summer Sandals
1. Raffia Slide Sandal

How cute is this sandal for the summer? The neutral color and style of shoe would pair well with any outfit: jeans, dress, or to throw on at the beach!
Steve Madden has the best summer shoes. The quality of the sandals always exceeds expectations, I have multiple sandals and they have held up SO well over the years.
2. White Dressy Gold Ring Sandal

If you need a lightweight summer sandal to pair with any outfit, this is the shoe for you!
I am always looking for a sandal to quickly throw on in the summer. These are perfect for when I am going on a quick dinner date, getting coffee with a friend, or to just going to lay by the pool.
3. Khaki Sandal with Gold Detail

How cute is this simple gold sandal for the summer?? It looks like a designer sandal because of its simplicity.
I love these for the beach, dinner, and any activity in between. These summer sandals go with any outfit and can be dressed up or dressed down.
4. Raffia Slide Sandal

The raffia texture on these sandals just gives summer vibes. When you combine the textured detail with neutral color, they are the perfect summer sandal.
I LOVE these, they are so comfortable and make me feel like I should be walking the Amafi Coast in Italy. The khaki raffia is my favorite summer combination!
5. Olukai Tan Leather Beach Sandal

A brown beach sandal has to be in the summer shoes capsule wardrobe department. You will be packing these for pool days, beach weekend getaways, or any tropical summer vacations you have on the books.
I am pretty sure everyone (included men) have these in my family for the summer. Olukai makes AMAZING quality sandals for the summer. It is always hard to find a quality flip flop that is actually cute, but luckily these are both.
6. Khaki Cloud Slide

These cloud sandals are the lazy girl shoe. AKA these slides are great for relaxing at home, by the pool, or on the beach.
These shoes are SO comfortable. These are even great summer shoes for men. I have this khaki pair and my husband has a blue pair. We wear them on the patio and around the house to avoid killing our feet.
7. Denim Slide Sandal

The best summer shoes for last! These are the CUTEST sandal EVER! The fabric, the color, the style, they are the ideal sandal. A cute summer dress or a top with white jeans would be an absolute amazing summer outfit!
As you know, I love Steve Madden and he is outdid himself on these trendy summer shoes. I have these in another color so you best believe I will be adding these to my cart for this coming summer!
Summer Sneakers
8. Cloudmonster Sneakers

White tennis shoes are one of the must have summer shoes for women. Summertime is the best time to get outside and walk. You will need these shoes for after work walks, running errands on the weekends, and getting into the gym for your summer body goals.
On Cloud makes AMAZING walking shoes. I have had these for the past year and have walked so many miles without getting intense wear and tear on them. I wear them almost every day.
9. Chunky Braided Platform Sneaker

The braided sneaker is so fun for the summer! These are great for a simple, casual, summer outfit.
I love a platform shoe, it makes a boring outfit become a little more trendy & fun. I will be grabbing these for my weekend activities this year!
10. White Veja Campo Sneaker

Here is one of the trendy summer shoes that EVERYONE has in their closet. These white sneakers are good for any summer activity. They can wore at work, after work, or on weekends. Because of the leather material, they are so easy to clean and keep white all the time!
All the girls at my office wear these (to work and to happy hours!) because they are so comfortable yet have a clean aesthetic to them when dressed up. A white sneaker goes with any outfit so they are a great summer closet staple.
11. Classic New Balance Sneaker

These shoes are named classic for a reason, because you just can’t go wrong with a navy sneaker for the summer. New Balance are the ideal shoe for running errands on the weekend or when you need a comfortable shoe that is not a running tennis shoe.
These shoes are constantly a go to in my closet. They truly are trendy summer shoes for the sporty girl outfits. We love to be on the go in the summer and these look great with any last minute outfit (they also come in so many different outfits).
Summer Heels and Platforms
12. Bohemia Platform Slip on Sandals

Are you kidding?? These are SO cute for date night or a girls evening! If you are not a heels kind of girl, these will be your best friend. These platform sandals one of the best summer shoes for dresses!
I bought these for my sister and then immediately bought a pair for myself. They level up any outfit and add a summer flare. We love having these on vacation to slip on!
13. White Thong Heeled Sandals

This is the ultimate pair of heels for the summer! The combination of the white color, thong style, and square toe is made to create a PERFECT summer outfit. These heels are a sexy summer shoe!
I love these for girls night out, date nights, or a brunch on the weekends. The white color and simple look makes it SO easy to throw them on and elevate an outfit.
14. Espadrillas Platform Wedge Sandal

Closed toe summer shoes are a must when you are always outside and cannot maintain a pedicure! Platform wedge sandals are also much more comfortable than a heel. They also just look like summer….am I right?!!
So comfortable! I love theses for our dinner nights on vacation. I love to pair these wedges with white jeans and a cute summer top.
15. Clear Pointed Toe Heel

Professional, sexy, lightweight, fun, these shoes cover all of those! Pointed toe heels will never go out of style, they just continue to build on them to make them more trendy.
These are my go to heel for the summer because of the clear design. It does not matter the color, pattern, style, or texture of my outfit because I know I can wear these and it will look STUNNING!
16. Gold Chunky Bow Heel

Bows on heels are the trendy summer shoes this year! The gold bow adds an elegance to the shoe so it is perfect for any event this summer: wedding guest, wedding/baby shower guest, birthday parties, etc!
I have seen these on every influencer and I am obsessed! These are so cute and I know will match any formal dress I need to wear this summer!
17. Nude Two Strap Bow Kitten Heel

HOW CUTE!!! Bows are on everything these days so I am not surprised they are one of the top summer shoes trends. A classic, nude, strappy sandal is a must for summer nights!
The low heel is so ideal for summer. I love to be dancing and walking around town for a night out so these keep me comfortable all night long!
Summer Shoes for Work
18. Brown Woven Mesh Ballet Flat

Ballet flats are back and they one of the best closed toe summer shoes. The brown color is a beautiful summer color and looks great with any skin tone (since the flats are mesh)!
I love these shoes for the summer. They can hide chipped toe nail polish but also allow my feet to breathe in the summer heat! The brown color will pair well with any outfit too which is a huge bonus.
19. Ballerina Bow Ballet Flats

If you need office summer shoes, these are perfect. And how adorable are the little bows on the front?!! The black and tan coloring is sleek and professional as well.
I am in NEED of a new pair of flats for the office. When you go to office 5 days a week, shoes wear out so easily. These are on my must wear for the office this summer.
