The hottest summer shoe trends 2019

Summer is finally just around the corner and with it a wealth of new fashion trends for you. The right footwear refines every outfit in an attractive and exciting way, combines airy, urban style with unusual designs and many a surprise that would have been an absolute absurdity in the previous year. The summer shoe trends 2019 shine through diversity, through rediscoveries and through unexpected courage to be ugly.

Ugly Sneakers and Ugly Sandals

Beauty is often in the eye of the beholder, and this is especially true for the first big trend in summer shoe fashion 2019. The ugly sneaker, also known as dad sneaker or chunky sneaker, which appeared in spring, is the exact opposite of the common athleisure look and is playing a central role this summer. It should be chunky and massive, with a mighty sole, thick cords and eye-catching details – exactly what dad wore with a jogging suit ten years ago.

Ugly sandals are the next evolutionary step in subjective (or is it objective?) Ugliness. Trekking sandals with thick soles declare war on delicate summer shoes. The cliché of the German tourist is suddenly in, of course in connection with white tennis socks. Feminine dresses cleverly match the outfit, daring, different and the absolute hit.

Wild and flowery

On a patterned level, the summer shoes 2019 promise restless eye-catchers with skillfully staged style breaks that go far beyond thick, eye-catching soles. Wild zebra pattern, leopard style and beguiling snakeskin look subdue the urban jungle. What looks exotic on its own can be easily combined with street style and feminine, expressive evening wear.

The floral patterns, which are once again popular, are not quite as wild, but also striking. Floral motifs literally shine in the opposite direction and put you in a good mood. They can be used universally on sandals, sneakers and mules, and even add a touch of romance. In combination with a white pattern for carefree lightness or an elegant dark undertone for stylish shine, the unorthodox and yet so natural break in style, for example, goes perfectly with a cool denim outfit.

From subtle to transparent

The variety of summer shoe trends 2019 is not only reflected in the pattern, but also in the choice of materials. For example, transparent shoes are celebrating a small, unexpected comeback. Mesh, plastic and plexiglass are once again being combined into attractive designs, for example in the form of heels, inserts or straps – great combined with shorts and skinny jeans. You meet the returned lace-ups and straps, which give the sandals in particular fresh accents. Straps and lacing, some up to the knee, meet delicate pastel tones, but also wild feathers and fringes. Last but not least: silk. The particularly feminine charm of these classics is simple and chic at the same time. It slips in and out with ease, and the pointed shape ensures a narrow foot – a real eye-catcher.

These shoe trends dominate the summer of 2019, but what about the next seasons and the seasons after that?
