One of the biggest requests this season has been a summer shoe guide. So, I thought it was the perfect time to take you through my most worn shoes for the summer, including ones that I continue to style all year long. These are perfect not only for casual outfits, summer vacation outfits, date night outfits, summer wedding guest outfits and more.
Additionally, for more of my summer favorites, be sure to check out these posts as well: Summer Capsule Wardrobe, A Week of European Summer Vacation Outfits, and my Black and White Summer Capsule Wardrobe.
My Must Have Summer Shoes
All of these shoes I personally own. I typically invest in quality over quality to make sure these last me many years so I’m not feeling like I need to add a new summer shoe collection every year. Because of this, I can just fill in my shoe voids when the time is right. This can include maybe adding a summer trend or two. I’m also sharing a range of price points for each shoe as well. So, make sure you scroll to view all the options to find the perfect summer shoe for you.
