The Best Summer Shoes to Buy Right Now
As temperatures rise, so do searches for the perfect summer shoe. This season's biggest footwear trends are all about versatility, comfort, and timeless style. While fashion trends continue to evolve, many women are investing in shoes that can easily transition from vacations and brunches to everyday wear and special occasions.
Whether you're updating your wardrobe or searching for your next favorite pair, these are the summer shoe trends women are styling everywhere in 2026, and how luxury resale can help you find them for less.
Ballet Flats Continue Their Reign
If there's one shoe that refuses to go out of style, it's the ballet flat. Elegant, comfortable, and easy to style, ballet flats have become a staple for women looking to elevate their everyday wardrobes. From casual to chic looks, it’s the footwear that never goes out of style.
This summer, we're seeing classic leather flats, woven textures, and neutral color palettes paired with everything from denim and trousers to dresses and skirts.
High Society Pick:
The Jimmy Choo Elme Tan Leather Ballet Flats are the ideal ballet flats to have in your closet. We recommend going for a pair that is neutral, minimal, and goes with just about any look.
Loafers Aren't Just for Fall Anymore
Loafers have officially become a year-round staple. Their polished look makes them perfect for both casual and professional outfits, while their comfort keeps them practical for everyday wear. You can balance them as a work shoe, a preppy shoe, or simply to elevate your chic pieces.
This summer, lighter colors and softer materials are making loafers feel fresh for warmer weather.
High Society Pick:
The Prada Vintage Blue Leather Loafers combine both timeless and bold style. A nicely-made, leather loafer will never go wrong in any look.
Chic Sandals Take Center Stage
Chic sandals continue to dominate summer fashion. Rather than overly embellished styles, women are choosing sleek leather sandals and timeless silhouettes that can be worn season after season. They combine chic and comfortable style, making your wardrobe fun and effortless.
These shoes pair effortlessly with dresses, linen sets, and vacation-ready looks.
High Society Pick:
The Loeffler Randall Daphne Gold Bow Sandals will surely make any outfit stand out in style. With their gold ribboning, your summer wardrobe will shine.
The Return of Statement Heels
While comfort remains important, statement heels are making a comeback for weddings, summer parties, and special occasions. We believe that storing at least one pair of fun heels or pumps adds the personality you need to your look.
Think unique hardware, textured materials, and bold details that elevate even the simplest outfit.
High Society Pick:
The Jimmy Choo Pink Print Leather Heel Pumps stand out on their own, but paired with an outfit, they become the piece that makes you chic.
Woven and Textured Styles Are Everywhere
One of the biggest trends of the season is texture. Raffia, woven leather, crochet details, and natural materials are appearing on everything from sandals to flats.
These styles add visual interest while still feeling timeless and easy to wear.
High Society Pick:
For a classic summer look, we love the VERONICA BEARD Riya Woven Leather Espadrille Sandals. Its woven leather and rope wedges make for a refreshing and iconic beach look.
