The best shoes for summer: Here are the pairs of shoes every girl needs for the summer season, including the best sandals, heels, sneakers, and more.

Finding a great pair of shoes for summer can be tough. And usually, once you’ve found the perfect pair of heels or sandals, that pair doesn’t really work for every summer occasion. You want versatility, but you can’t just wear the same pair of sneakers everywhere. Ugh.

To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of the best shoes for summer. Here are the shoe styles you need for the summer season, for a few different summer occasions. After all, the shoe most definitely makes the outfit!

Best Shoes for Brunch: Espadrille Wedges

Best shoes for summer: Espadrille wedges are the best shoes for brunch. Outfit idea: Blue dress with coral wedges and lemon earrings

Products: Shoes – Charlotte Russe, Dress – Topshop, Earrings – Macy’s

Brunch dates can mean a lot of different things. But whether you’re just meeting up with your girls or spending the morning with someone special, platform wedges are the best shoes to wear to brunch in summer.

Espadrille wedges like these are amazing because they’re a less intimidating – and more comfortable – way to wear heels and still look fab! Pair your wedges with an off-the-shoulder dress and a unique pair of earrings, and you’re set.

Best Shoes for a Summer Dinner Date: Nude Flats

Best shoes for summer: Nude flats look great with a floral dress and a beige purse for a dinner date in summer

Products: Shoes – Gap Factory, Dress – Hollister, Purse – Charlotte Russe

Dinner dates can be tricky to dress for, so whenever you’re in doubt, a pair of nude flats is always a great go-to.

Depending on how long you’re on a date, high heels can be painful and – let’s face it – sneakers just don’t look as nice. Pair your nude flats with a flowy dress and a clutch to match. There you have it: The perfect summer dinner date outfit!

Best Summer Shoes for a Casual Outing: Printed Slip-Ons

Best shoes for summer: Slip on sneakers are the best for summer days, wear these striped sneakers with patches with a pink tee shirt dress and rainbow sunglasses

Products: Shoes – Nordstrom, Dress – J.Crew, Sunglasses – AEO

Sneakers are so easy to wear (which is why we love them so much!), so you definitely need to buy a pair of sneakers for summer. Slip-on sneakers in particular are one of the best summer shoe styles.

Printed sneakers can make any outfit stand out. I love these striped ones with patches – so cute! Pair your sneakers with a t-shirt dress and your favorite sunglasses for a super laid-back look.

Best Shoes for a Day at the Beach: Simple Sandals

Best shoes for summer: Slip on brown sandals with black swimsuit and printed Beach Please tote

Products: Shoes – Nordstrom Rack, Swimsuit – H&M, Bag – Nordstrom

Flip flops are a staple shoe for most beach days. However, there are more ways to look stylish at the beach.

Instead of a regular pair of flip flops, opt for some slip-on sandals. They’re just as simple, yet way more chic. Pair your sandals with a fashionable one-piece and a printed beach bag for an easy-breezy day by the water.

Best Shoes for a Night Out in Summer: Strappy Heels

Best shoes for summer: Black strappy stiletto heels look great with a printed dress and black purse for a night out

Products: Shoes – Boohoo, Dress – Forever 21, Purse – Nine West

A night out can be very exciting, and your look should reflect this. Go big or go home!

As for your footwear, keep it classic, a simple black pair of strappy stilettos will work with any night out outfit. Pair these shoes with a body-con dress and a cross body bag to match!

What are your must-have shoes for summer?
