SUMMER SANDALS
This season, designers are embracing a fun assortment of sandals, poolside slides, the “style comeback” of the wedge, and in bold, head-turning colors.

Summer Sandals | BRIGHT SLIDES
A top trend for summer 2023 is high saturation slides. These comfy classics are a warm-weather staple but this year they are taking on a juicy, colorful summer twist! Designer favorites from Gucci, Versace, and Frances Valentine, and more are offering boldly colored versions of their classic silhouettes in bright, summer-rich colors like electric yellow, mandarin orange, and hot pink.

Summer Sandals | WEDGES
This is a comeback style your feet are sure to thank you for! According to Vogue, the wedge sandal is back and here to stay for summer 2023. Crochet, raffia, “puffy” and wedge mules are some of the go-to fashion trends to seek out.
Summer Sandals | FLATS
I love an easy-to-slip-on shoe! Trending flats this summer are practical and comfortable but make a statement! Think metallics, iridescent, floral embellishments, bold colors etc.
A Brand Favorite | Cecelia New York
I was introduced to Cecelia New York shoes about 4 years ago. They were amazing then and they just keep getting better. Their styles are over the top unique and certainly deserve to be in an elite designer category but they keep their prices affordable to mainstream consumers.

SUMMER SNEAKERS
Of course, the 42 Gold Glee Platform Sneaker will always be a cult favorite and personal favorite of mine, but other sneakers I am buying this summer will be breathable and functional ~ like these water-resistant sneakers by Vivaia Collection. I love a sporty vibe in the summer and these Adidas by Stella McCartney Earthlight Sneakers check the boxes for trendy, bold colors AND comfort.
As you can see, trending shoes for women for Summer 2023 range from practical to retro to super colorful. I’m loving all of the platforms (still in style FYI), comeback wedges, glam slides, embellished flats, colorful heels and comfy women’s sneakers and loafers all of the designer models are wearing this summer!! Which styles will you be strutting? Let us know in the comments or write me on Instagram!
