If you need to refresh your style, make a move to start at the bottom. A new pair of shoes can make all the difference in an outfit, whether by giving it energy or a solemn base. Whatever category you (and your closet) find yourself in for 2024, several soon-to-be-popular shoe styles will fit your demands.

We conducted a spring and summer 2024 runway search. We browsed our preferred stores. We also gathered forecasts from professionals to compile a list of the top nine shoe trends that will likely be popular in the coming months. There is also no shortage of shopping inspiration, with designs that hug the leg, kitten heels making a reappearance, and more.

Using shoes as jewellery

Bracelet flats and ring sandals conflate jewellery and footwear, giving even shoes an air of genuine specialness. You may forget about choosing different toe rings or anklets because everything is in one piece.) Glamour readers could not get enough of these goods for the whole season. Embrace the style with these sandals and slip-ons; my colleagues’ style editors. It does not get much easier to be elegant with ease.

Metallic

First up, metallics are the colour trend for this season! They are indeed back! Metallic tones are in shoe type, including booties, sandals, sneakers, and ballerina flats. Silver is the metal, but gold, gunmetal, and other options. Any colour goes well with metallic shoes, which also contrast nicely with neutral colours.

Feline heels

The autumn wedding season is getting underway as the temperatures drop, but we are pleased to say that this year’s footwear is exceptionally foot-friendly. At the ideal nexus of stylish and functional, ladylike kitten heels have entered the public following their runway debut. Have you covered whether your fitted suit or silky sweater dress calls for mules, slingbacks, or pumps?

Slouchy boots

This retro look has shown itself rather than a sustainable trend. Wearing slouchy boots would not make you appear out of place; other kinds are more in style now. Try wearing riding, cowboy, or motorcycle boots for something different from your standard knee-high boots.  

The stylish summertime flats

A chic pair of tapered pants or this season’s pleated shorts can save your skin from the heat and offer more covering than sandals without the hassles of boots. Thanks to technology, stylish loafers or ballet pumps may go well with better outfits for meetings or lunch dates without sacrificing comfort. They are a fuss-free option for hectic days.

White athletic shoes

Forever, trainers will represent comfort. The latest fashion trend is white trainers. Sneakers are a fashion statement this year and may provide a look that works for all four seasons. Even though most people are reluctant to wear white, trainers work with every outfit; one only has to know how to carry it off. An excellent alternative is canvas shoes.   

Conclusion

Here is how to pair the newest shoe styles of the season with breezy summertime outfits. Choose from trendy sneakers to traditional slides and sandals to keep your feet cool, comfy, and fashionable.
