There were plenty of highlights at the spring/summer 2023 shows. Of course, we've seen the expected return of sandals and bold hues like Barbie pink that regularly define the warmer months. If you're wondering what sandals are in fashion for summer 2023, know one thing - it seems that designers from all over the world have received the same instructions: don't hold back.
Sandal color – metallic is in fashion
Metallic is not only suitable for NYE parties and disco nights, it can also be worn in warmer weather. For the spring-summer 2023 season, designers don't want you to settle for old gold and silver shoes. You deserve better. Instead, treat yourself to a metallic shade of your choice of fashionable women's summer sandals 2023, which boasts a subtle texture such as crocodile embossing or a crackle effect à la Chloé.This will not only give your outfit a polished look (that reflects the sun's rays well), but it will also give it some extra texture.
Lace-up sandals
The Romans were ahead of their time in many ways, including fashion. Lace-up sandals were originally worn for their pragmatic appeal before becoming a staple footwear choice during the height of the summer season. For the spring-summer 2023 season, the designers changed it in accordance with the chosen aesthetics. For example, Miu Miu models showed pairs with wider straps, while Max Mara, on the contrary, made them almost invisible on the leg.
The beauty of this spring/summer 2023 shoe trend is that it can be worn in so many different ways. Wide strappy sandals with a small heel are best for an evening setting, while tanned leather ankle strap sandals are better for a day trip out of town.
Frilly sandals
If you thought that women's grandpa sandals are a trend for 2023, then they are not. This season, designers have adopted this unique detail and imbued it with its feminine charm and romantic overtones. Dries Van Noten presented a pair of black fashionable women's summer sandals 2023 (photo), decorated with satin ruffles, creating an elegant atmosphere that seemed to become an extension of the wearer herself. While Zimmermann opted for a holiday-ready silhouette, with subtle ruffles reminiscent of seashells. While the frilly shoe trend may seem intimidating at first glance, what makes it so appealing is that no frilly shoe is the same.
Flat sandals
That's right, flat sandals are back for another swim season and, rightfully so, they're an easy way to add a chic twist to your spring/summer wardrobe. Ulla Johnson leads the season with leather sandals that can be paired with a summer dress, while Andreādamo made the case for monochromatic sandals with his all-white leather number.
Ultimately, the true star factor is that they not only literally elevate your look, but are also suitable for any occasion. Last minute BBQ? Platform sandals. Spring wedding? Platform sandals. There's no limit to where you can wear them.
Satin sandals
At the end of our spring-summer 2023 trend rating is satin. This season, the decadent fabric has taken on many forms, not just the silk-toe silhouette we've previously seen from brands like Balenciaga. Ports 1961 brought us the shoe we can't stop dreaming about, combining a platform sole with soft material. In Paris, Saint Laurent presented chic satin sandals, and in Milan, Sportmax invited us to turn the sidewalk into a catwalk with the help of iridescent lilac pairs. Although each of these styles is different, they are united by the subtle sensuality of this delicate material.
