There are lots of retro shapes trending for women’s 2025 summer shoes like clogs and wedge espadrilles. I’m all on favor of anything that elongates my legs which a lot of this years summer heels definitely do.

A lot of these shoe trends are set to stick around for Fall and Winter too from the heels and boots to the trending flats for 2025 like black loafers, ensuring the best CPW.

Loafers are probably the most comfortable and practical of these trending shoes for Summer 2025 and expect the trend to keeping going for Fall and Winter too. It’s the model off duty shoe of choice this season that Hailey Bieber keeps being spotted in. While chunky sole loafers are still ok to where, it’s really the classic styles like black leather penny loafers that are really in style this year. They’re better to invest in anyway as they’re a classic style that you can wear year after year.

As seen at Jonathan Anderson, Tod’s, Prada and Miu Miu.

Peep toe heels are a classic summer shoe that always seems to be back in style every Summer. They’re are another shoe trend that’s still going strong from last Summer so time to get your Summer pedicures going.

These super cute styles are perfect styled with all of your summer dresses and jean shorts. While a lot of shoe trends recently have been kitten heels, this year higher heel versions are more prevalent. I tend to go for the pyramid heels so they don’t sink into the grass.

As seen at The Attico in metallic silver, Tory Burch, Giambattista Valli and Dries Van Notten.

Animal print is everywhere this year from clothes to boots to heels. As seen at Gannin, Copenhagen fashion week and Valentino. Whether it’s leopard, zebra or snakeskin effect, the women’s shoe trend for Summer 2025 is sure to be animal print ballet flats or mules. People seem to either love them or hate them. I’m in the love them camp as they’re such a statement piece and always scream confidence.

4. Clogs

This is shoe trend that hasn’t been in style for a while, I know, because I’ve never covered them on the blog. They’re a 2025 shoe trend I’m not sure about. Give me a high stiletto heel for some power dressing any day versus something this clompy. However, fashion editors are saying it’s set to be one of the most popular shoe trends of Spring/Summer 2025 so if you like them, now’s the time to wear them. It was definitely one of the most seen style of shoes on the Spring Summer 2025 runways. Specifically peep toes, logoed and studded styles. As seen at Miu Miu, Ulla Johnson, Hermès and Zimmermann to name a few.

5. Lace up sandals trend

Trending women’s shoes for Summer 2025 include the classic lace up espadrille sandals, as seen at Chloé, Burberry and The Attico. Most of us have a pair of Castaner espadrilles or something similar, if not, now’s the time to hit the buy button. There are sandals in all heel heights to rock the wrap up sandals trend. For the most seamless and leg lengthening look, go for tan and neutral colors that won’t cut off your leg line.

They’re perfect for giving a timeless, classic, feminine finish to any outfit, whether that’s a floaty summer dress, shorts or resort wear. What I love about so many of the trending shoes and flats this year is that they’re practical, comfortable and make a statement.

These are one of the more comfortable trending women’s summer shoes for 2025 but smarter, more ladylike and office appropriate than flip flops.

9. White boots

I’ve been wearing white boots for a couple of winters now and am so happy to see this style go mainstream and not just be on the 2025 runways. They’re one of those fresh, versatile styles that are easy to work into so many outfits from dresses to jeans. Whether you get a designer pair or something from Amazon, it’s a really easy way to quickly update your look.

Another runway trend that’s wearable in real life! T-bar shoes were seen on Balmain, Rachel Comey and Versace to name a few. If you love a more retro, feminine, chic look, this 2025 shoe trend is for you. For Summer style them with bare legs, for colder month, try red tights. If you don’t want to fork out for a new pair of shoes, Mary Jane styles are still in style for 2025 too if you already have a pair of those.
