6 Shoe Trends To Add To Your Rotation Now

Thanks to Chloé’s creative director, Chemena Kamali, jelly shoes have become a mainstay in our warm-weather wardrobes. The designer revived the nostalgic style last year and has since debuted peep-toe mules and transparent-strapped shoes that tap into our easy-going inner child. Alaïa and Ancient Greek Sandals also offer their own covetable take on the trend, with designs including the former’s ‘Invisible Jelly’ thong sandals and the latter’s ‘Saionara’ flip flops – both of which speak to the carefree spirit of summer.

Ballet-flat obsessives rejoice because there’s a new style to add to your growing collection this season. An elevated (and slightly androgynous) take on classic ballerinas, glove flats are so-called for their close, second-skin fit, and offer more coverage compared to traditional styles. Echo actor Katie Holmes by wearing Jil Sander’s ‘Ballerina Prince’ flats in glossed burgundy leather with tailored pants and a new-season knit, or use Alaïa's laser-cut suede ‘Neo Vienne’ style to elevate casual denim à la Alexa Chung.

When Madonna made a surprise appearance at the Saint Laurent menswear show last month, it wasn’t just her presence that stole the show – her shoes did, too. Designed by Anthony Vaccarello, the neon-pink pumps in question had black toe caps that accentuated their leg-lengthening silhouette. Although not quite as colorful, the brand’s ‘Jeanne’ pair from our edit will make just as much of an impact, especially when paired with a simple black dress or smart tailoring. They say that three’s a trend, and with Tom Ford and Valentino Garavani also offering chic toe-tipped styles, you really are spoilt for choice.
