Happy Thursday, ladies! Today, we're talking all things shoes. I've pulled 25 of Summer's hottest shoes. (Actually, just 25 of my favorite shoes, but who's counting?)
If you're like me, it's almost impossible to get enough shoes. So many to choose from, so little closet space to put them. With Summer in full swing, there are just so many options. From sneakers to mules to wedges to sandals, the choices are endless and far too vast to cover in one post.
So, I've tried to streamline things a bit today. I've pulled 5 different shoe types that I'm loving for Summer 2022:
Ok, I know what you're thinking: these categories aren't totally independent. There is some overlap. A lot of braided sandals just are slide sandals for example. You're totally right. But that's OK. This is just meant as a rough guide for tackling some of the trending shoes of Summer 2022.
Also, for each shoe type, I've pulled together an outfit and recreated it. I wanted to give you some style inspiration on how to wear these shoes. I've worked hard to pick timeless, classic outfits that will work well beyond this Summer. I've gone with a lot of neutrals, some colors---mostly subdued---and a few prints.
So, let's get right down to it and see Summer's hottest shoes.
Today I'm featuring 25 of my favorite shoes for Summer, broken down by category
For each shoe type, I've pulled an outfit that goes perfectly with that shoe

Take care,

thanks so much for being here! we so appreciate you!
Thanks for this, Beth – who doesn’t “need ” more shoes, right? I bought the Sam Edelman sandals on line and love them. I have to laugh because when they were delivered, they felt horribly uncomfortable until I realized the cardboard liners were still in them! Once I removed them, they felt great- they have a cushioned footbed and look so chic.
don’t you love a cushioned footbed?! enjoy!
Hard to choose! Thanks for this post; I’m a shoe lover. Check out Talbots’ Violet Twist nappa slides too. Wow. So buttery soft (and resemble Jimmy Choo’s Narisa at a small fraction of the cost). Happy Friday, Oscar and recipe/cocktail day!
I have seen the tan leather and metallic wedge sandals (featured in this column’s Pin It) appear a few times and just love them! They add so much to whichever outfit they’re paired with. Who is the manufacturer of this classy sandal?
Who is the manufacturer of the classy tan and metallic wedge sandal featured in this Pin It?
Love it!
I’m not certain which Pin It you are referring to but the gold metallic and tan wedge is Tory Burch about four to five years old.
Thank you for the lovely ideas, I certainly lean towards those options in warm weather. Also on my personal list are espadrilles, I have a wedge and a flat.
