Summer is a great time to break out of old footwear traditions and find something new and delightful to wear on your feet for the warmer weather.
There are always lots of trendy shoes on the market and this year is no different with delicate, dainty heels covered in pretty embellishments in one hand and stompy cowboy boots in the other.
Give your wardrobe an instant refresh with the help of these stylish party shoes that are sure to take over this summer, perfect for BBQs and parties with friends.
Cowboy Boots
This has to be my favourite summer shoe trend for this year as it is so unexpected! Premiering on the catwalk for Autumn 2017, Cowboy boots are still here for 2018. I love this non-traditional footwear as they don’t only make fantastic winter boots but they also create an eye-catching summer look.
A signature staple for country singers, Cowboy boots work great when the weather is warming up and are surprisingly versatile and can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, with a ditsy-floral-print dress for a picnic in the park with friends and they can make the perfect festival footwear!
Clear Plastics
Another weird and wonderful trend this Summer which is great for parties is see-through plastic. Not a material you usually consider fashionable for shoes, however, it was spotted on the catwalk from the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Balmain, Moschino and Calvin Klein. So why not consider adding an updated version of your childhood dress-up shoes to your summer wardrobe?
Don’t get lost in the nineties nostalgia! Designed to elongate legs you can find see-through sandals, slingbacks or court shoes with transparent panels in the shops ready to be snapped up. If you’re not brave enough for a full-on see-through shoe pick a style which incorporates playful PVC detail for a hint of the trend.
Socks and Sandals
Although wearing socks with sandals has been a long-running fashion faux pas joke, this year sees the combination as an acceptable look for the summer with socks becoming more visible than ever as the season’s must-have accessory. Cause a stir at your summer party by teaming up statements socks with your hot summer sandals.
Spurred on by the likes of Gucci, MSGM, Erdem, Marc Jacobs, and House of Holland who showcased playful, statement-making socks with sandals for 2018, fashionistas are rocking socks in all variations including pearls, sheer, in bright colours or fishnet with their mules, block heels and suede sandals.
