Summer footwear and sandal fashion trends

Overview

Summer fashion trends have centered on various sandal styles, ranging from historical revivals to unconventional pairings.

Initially, gladiator sandals saw a resurgence in runway collections from designers including Isabel Marant, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Emilio Pucci. These designs transitioned from the mid-2010s festival aesthetic toward more sculptural and minimalist leather models, including knee-high versions.

Subsequent trends have highlighted luxury minimalism, such as the use of Hermès Oran sandals, alongside the rise of the ‘ugly-chic’ socks-and-sandals look. This latter trend, embraced by influencers and reinforced by brands like Miu Miu and Prada, involves pairing crew socks with chunky sandals or sheer socks with delicate heels.
