As we have come over the first quarter of 2022, we want to be well-heeled and as stylish as possible. So, if you happen to be looking to step up your wardrobe, shoes are the perfect territory to tread into first, and the spring / summer 2022 shoe trends offer diverse designs for this. Looking for some hot shoes? With this spring shoe trend guide you will always look fine, chic, and in-the-know!
Sneakers
Mules
High or low, flat, with a chunky heel, or a sleek stiletto, the leg-lengthening mules of 2022 are nowhere near the unflattering orthopedic shoes, or garden clogs. Mules and feminine slingbacks have breathed new life into fashionable accessories – you can tell that more and more celebrities chose them over good old pumps and stilettos. Look for styles with a closed pointed toe and sophisticated, modern cuts. Don't be afraid of jazzing mules up with snakeskin or daisies for the hot months. Intermittently placed across the runway, floral-hued mules showed up at Marine Serre, Prada, and jason wu, while fendi went for an eclectic, fuzzy, and multicolored take. And yes – more is more!
Brogues
Just when you thought you'd seen everything trendy, Versace sent a loafer-platform hybrid down the runway. The forever iconic, versatile, and often gender-neutral brogue silhouette was a choice style at christopher kane, Ganni, and Proenza Schouler. In addition to the beloved, minimal version, these brands amplified the look with oversized soles and heavy hardware details for a less traditional style. The flexible brogues can be a cozy shearling-lined driving shoe or a refined pump. They are ideal for pulling together a casual look or an office-appropriate outfit.
Embellished Pumps
Strappy Sandals
Spring strappy shoes were all the rage on the runway where designers showcased a simpler and classical summer look. Colours ranged from black and white to metallic and feminine hues like blush pink. Also, pretty embellishments gave an open and airy sandal a dressy option for the downtown girl. The summer shoe trend brings many different styles: think the knee-high look at alberta ferretti or the rock-stud design at valentino. altuzarra, Paco Rabanne, tory burch, Staud, christian dior, and prabal gurung have their own versions for you. Ankle-skimming, Midas-touched versions with rich details were also spotted on the runway.
Looking at the Spring / Summer 2022 shoe trends that have been rolled out on the runways over the past few months, we can see that — it's all about refining the best of the best. Which trend are you ready to walk in?
