I can finally begin to put my boots away and pull out all my favorite spring shoe styles! These are styles that will take me all the way through summer and into fall. Most of the spring shoes I have in my closet are all neutral tones so they easily go with a variety of looks. While I do have some black sandals that I wear during the warmer months, most of the shoes I reach for are more white, cream and varying shades of brown. I also LOVE clear shoes for the warmer months. I have been wearing clear shoes for years and always recommend them because they can look great with literally any outfit. There is no competing color on the shoe so they automatically work with the look. And they also make my legs look so much longer!
Here’s a roundup of 10 shoes I will be wearing this spring/summer 2025.
10 Best Shoes For Spring
Sneakers
With my athleisure looks, I like a more athletic sneaker style but many of them look too much like workout sneakers. I want something that looks more like a lifestyle sneaker and can worn various ways. The New Balance 327 sneakers are super popular and while many people may be over the trend, I still find these to be one of my favorite sneakers to wear. The pointy toe and slightly angular shape is so flattering. I also find these look so chic with trousers for a more business casual outfit.
Veja White Sneakers (similar)
Obviously there are a ton of white sneaker options out there, but I have always liked the sleek look of Vejas. These are the sneakers I wear when I want something low profile, subtle and slightly dressier. This exact style of Veja sneakers are discontinued but there are a TON of similar options from them. When you are looking for a simple white sneaker style to wear in the spring and summer, choose something that has very little detail and stops well below the ankle. I don’t recommend any high tops or sneakers with a higher profile as they will look too chunky on the leg.
Pointy Toe Mules
I included these in my spring shoe edit but honestly, I wear these suede mules all four seasons of the year. They come in a ton of colors but I love this rich brown because they look great with almost any outfit. The subtle kitten heel makes them so comfortable but since they are a mule, they are perfect for wearing during the warmer months especially if you don’t want an open toe style. These are the must have shoe for work and can look great with trousers/jeans or dresses/skirts.
Ballet Flats
These mesh flats are a bit more trendy than many of the other styles I have shared but I absolutely LOVE them. I am really into the mesh shoe trend at the moment and think they are a fun way to add texture into an outfit. The overall fit and look of them are that of a classic ballet flat but the mesh fabric gives them a more unique look. And especially in the warmer weather, the mesh will be a bit more breathable.
As you can see I styled these flats with a winter to spring transition look, but I can’t wait to wear them all spring and summer long. They obviously are made to look like the Chanel ballet flats that have been iconic for decades but at a much more palatable price point. You might think the two tone color blocking could make them a bit difficult to style but honestly they look great with any outfit you would normally wear with black flats OR with nude flats. For that reason, they have an endless number of outfit possibilities.
Neutral Sandals
Sandals are a must for spring and moving into summer and these Jeffrey Campbell sandals have been a staple in my closet for nearly 3 years. They are super flattering on the foot and can be dressed up or down. They come in a variety of colors but this light tan is the most versatile in my opinion. Normally I am someone who prefers a pointy toe over a round or square toe, but these sandals are one of the few exceptions in my closet. There is a strap that wraps around the ankle but because the strap sits lower on the ankle, it doesn’t cut off the leg and actually gives a more lengthening effect.
If there is one shoe that will be the MOST versatile in your closet, it is a clear sandal. I specifically love the Schutz ones and have both a low block heel style and a high stiletto heel style. I think when clear shoes first starting becoming popular, people were unsure exactly how it would look when you couldn’t see any top portion of the shoe. Would the foot look like it was floating? Can clear shoes be chic? There are so many amazing styles available now that put all these concerns to rest. I absolutely love clear shoes and recommend them every single spring and summer.
These were a shoe that I was finally able to snag because they always sell out so quickly and their versatility is unmatched. They come in a bunch of colors and are perfect to wear with all spring and summer looks. Because they are such a simple style, they can easily be dressed up or down.
Neutral Heels
A simple neutral pointy toe heel will always be in style and always be a good choice to wear throughout spring and into summer. I love the very pale beige shade of these Dolce Vita heels. They are higher than most of the other options I have shared so if you want a medium heel height, these are the ones to go with. The pointy toe is my preferred toe shape for heels and the slight ruching detail gives them a little something extra.
Clear Heels
These are the first clear heels I purchased a few years ago and they are still my MOST worn spring and summer sandal by far. They are the most flattering style and at a really reasonable price point. I am actually considering getting a backup pair because I wear these so much. They are a high heel so they are definitely a dressier style but can be worn with jeans too. Whenever I get questions about what to wear to a spring or summer wedding, these shoes are ALWAYS the first thing I recommend. They look so beautiful on the foot and allow the whatever dress you choose to really stand out. Also if you are planning any warm weather vacations, these shoes are the best to bring because they will go with every outfit you pack.
Neutral Loafers
A pair of neutral loafers are a year round staple but they are especially perfect for spring. I love the gold bar detail on these that make them a bit more interesting and the comfort level is 10/10.
Neutral Pointy Toe Flats
I was new to this brand but soon fell in love with their shoes after trying this pair of pointy toe flats. They have the most inclusive sizing I have ever seen and offer different widths for every style. My shoe size is pretty common but if you struggle with finding shoes in your size, this is the brand to go to! They make so many gorgeous options in every size imaginable!
Spring Shoe Edit
I love the mixture of the raffia with the pearl embellishments on these flats! Perfect to wear with a chic midi dress or maxi skirt.
I was never a birkenstock type sandal fan but I have since changed my mind in favor of the comfort of these types of sandals. LOL And if I am going to choose comfort, then I at least want the sandals to be CUTE!
Classic and timeless. These mary jane flats with the two tone colorway will be a shoe that you can wear for the next 10+ years.
I love the mesh trend that became popular last year but if you aren’t totally sold on a mesh fabric, this perforated woven leather gives a similar vibe while still being a tad less trendy.
A bit of a splurge but these are absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking to build a wardrobe of classics and timeless pieces, these are the kind of sandals to add to your collection.
I will forever love a strappy sandal and these are so dainty looking. The added silver detail makes them a bit dressier and would be a great wedding guest shoe for spring and summer.
Give me all the pointy toe kitten heel pumps! I have so many in my closet and wear them non-stop in the spring. I love the raffia and leather combination on these in particular.
Even though I have a large collection of flats in my closet, I still need a chic lifestyle sneaker to wear for certain occasions. I love this new style from Larroude and the color options are all so beautiful.
Soludos are the original espadrille maker and are a staple in the warmer weather. They come in every color imaginable but I love this red/white striped option for the spring. Boat shoes are trending this season (the Miu Miu ones seem to have kicked off this trend) but if you want a comfy pair of flats with a preppy vibe without opting for boat shoes, espadrilles are a great alternative!
Metallics are a neutral! If you are nervous to wear metallic accessories, think of styling them the same way you would a pair of white, black or neutral toned shoes. They are actually incredibly versatile and also add a bit of polish to a casual look.
Wedge espadrilles with a flowy midi dress is so quintessential spring/summer, amiright? Just add a huge straw tote and big sunglasses and I immediately want to go frolicking in a field. LOL But seriously, a wedge espadrille is a comfy way to add some height without sacrificing comfort too.
This is a newer brand that I recently discovered and the styles are all so chic and timeless. Strappy black flat sandals will never go out of style.
I am a neutrals gal through and through but there is something about Spring that makes me want to wear ALL the color. LOL I also love matching sets and athleisure outfits that are comfy yet still look chic and polished. I love putting outfits together when I’m getting dressed to go somewhere but when I need to run errands or not think about what I’m wearing, I will always gravitate towards matching sets or pieces that easily can be styled together with little to no thinking. I make too many decisions on the regular to think about what to wear on the weekends. LOL So if you need some casual outfit ideas for spring, here are some that I have worn and love.
