The summer has almost arrived and the best part of modern day spring and summer fashion is the convenience that comes as an added benefit to most shoe styles. This year’s fashion features a lot of basic, minimalist slip-ons and chunky statement shoes. They’re trendy but comfortable, so you won’t hate the long days you spend on your feet!

The following hottest shoes are a must to add to your closet for this summer:

1. White ankle boots
White ankle boots are typically considered a wardrobe essential based on their versatility. The ankle boots can be worn all year round and mixed and matched with outfits of all types. They are flattering under a pretty floral summer dress and add a nice touch when worn with jeans as part of a fall outfit.

2. Leather slides
These are one of the most fashionable additions anyone can make to their summer shoe collection! Whether you buy a classic black pair or a brown version, these slides are guaranteed to elevate your summer fits while keeping you comfortable on your strolls around the city. You can also find more strappier versions of the shoe that give it more of a sandal type look. A pair of Gucci leather slides are the perfect staple. There’s really no way to go wrong with these!

3. Kitten heels
Kitten heels are the newest form of heels and their rise to fame is truly well deserved. The stylish low heel looks flattering and is very comfortable to walk in for extended periods of time. They’re much more practical than stilettos given the warm weather. Investing in a neutral pair or even a bright colour like green or red will elevate your summer looks and add the extra glamour while ensuring you don’t compromise on your comfort.

4. Platform flip flops
Heeled or platform flip flops are all the rage this summer. They come in a variety of options in every colour and heel size and will help dress up your look without making it look formal. Platform flip flops are the perfect choice for an afternoon lunch or even a trip to the beach. They add the extra height and accentuate your curves in a similar manner to stilettos but without all the discomfort!

5. Clogs
High fashion has recently grown to include clogs. The ever so trendy shoe is a one of a kind that was once in fashion in the 60s and has now made a comeback. These slip-on shoes are available in all styles and at all price points including versions from brands like Crocs to Chanel.
