The shoes of summer 2025

Summer at your feet: the trendy shoes to adopt (or bring back out) this summer

The sun is beating down, legs are on display, and shoes are finally reclaiming their starring role in our outfits. Out with the ankle boots, in with the sandals, mules, platforms, heels that click on the cobblestones, and espadrilles that evoke the French Riviera. So, what are we wearing this summer? Spoiler alert: sexy, retro, chic comfort – and always with panache.

1. Heeled mules (still here, still divine)

They don't want to leave the catwalk. And we understand why. Easy to slip on and incredibly elegant, heeled mules make the ankle a jewel. In black leather, a satin version, or embellished with rhinestones à la Saint Laurent, they're perfect for drinks or an evening out. Wear them with straight-leg jeans or a vintage polka-dot dress. Parisian style approved.

2. 90s-style strappy sandals

Minimalist, delicate, with a touch of Carrie Bradshaw… Strappy sandals are making a comeback, flirting with the '90s. Black, white, or pastel, they elongate the silhouette without being over the top. The trick: choose them with a small block heel or a kitten heel for long, comfortable walks.

3. Disco platforms

Because summer is also for dancing. Gucci, Miu Miu, Prada, or anonymous geniuses: ultra-high platforms are inspired by the dance floors of the '70s. Reserve them for the wildest nights out or to transform a simple little black dress into an iconic moment.

4. Retro (but not sloppy) sneakers

Yes, even in summer. Worn with no-show socks and a pleated skirt, vintage sneakers like the New Balance 550, Adidas Gazelle, or Nike Cortez give that effortlessly cool look. Perfect for strolling around town, in a chill yet stylish way.

5. Heeled espadrilles (or the French Riviera style in braided rope)

You never see them coming… And yet, as soon as July arrives, they make their discreet but formidable return. Laced or strapped, wedge espadrilles embody the quintessential French touch: a little bit Brigitte Bardot, a little bit Jane Birkin. Perfect for the market, a terrace, or an unexpected crush.

In summary?

This summer, we're playing with vintage vibes and a desire for fun, effortless elegance and bold confidence. And if you're torn between rhinestone mules and retro sneakers: we'll let you in on a secret… The best thing is to have a pair of each.
