We all love a good pair of sandals this time of year, but let’s not forget about the beauty of a good pair of summer flats. It’s natural to associate flat shoes with spring and fall, but brands are having more and more fun with their flat-shoe designs as of late, and I, for one, have taken notice. Among this year’s offerings, I’ve spotted plenty of cool crochet, beaded, and mesh options, along with vibrant colors and fresh takes on classic summer styles such as mules and espadrilles.
Brands as varied as Zara, Reformation, Loewe, and Madewell are fully embracing the summer flats renaissance, and shoppers can’t get enough. The words “sold out” are ones I came across often while choosing the shoes below. So before that happens with my carefully selected edit, scroll on to add your favorites to cart. In case you were wondering, I’m eyeing the first four pairs, in particular. But if I’m being completely honest, I’d take every last one of these 27 options.
They come in black, too. Good luck choosing.
