1 MINIMAL LACE-UP OXFORD SHOES
The rumours are true; sneakers are out of style for spring and summer 2025. And we have new comfortable shoes on our radar.
Meet the minimal lace-up shoes. The best shoes to wear with modern skinny jeans and shorts - meet minimal lace-up Oxford shoes and step on the street looking more fashionable than ever.
Spring is at its high and it is time to seize the new lace-up trend that goes so well with modern skinny jeans. Chicness is loading when you leave your home in minimal lace-up Oxford shoes.
Stylish yet practical, minimal lace-up Oxford shoes come in various shades. Buy black (I bought them a few hours ago) to wear with modern skinny jeans and white (I will buy these, too) that pair so well with super short shorts and trendy minis. Or go for a bit of polish with these for an extra edgy workday look.
2 BOAT SHOES
There is a feeling of freedom in the air as we step into boat shoes. Go forth in fashionable butter yellow boat shoes this season.
From morning swims to sultry afternoons in the city, butter yellow Valentino boat shoes will have you shining your brightest. Plus, they are the best shoes for the summer holidays. With suitcase space at the premium, you need looks that aren’t too precious but can still deliver. And these Miu Miu boat shoes can be stacked anywhere.
In case you wonder what the difference is between driving shoes, moccasins, loafers and boat shoes – see below.
LOAFERS vs MOCCASINS vs BOAT SHOES vs DRIVING SHOES
SHOES 2 - MOCCASINS - BUY HERE
SHOES 3 - BOAT SHOES - BUY HERE
SHOES 4 - DRIVING SHOES - BUY HERE
While all these slip-on styles offer comfort and a touch of sophistication, key differences exist. Loafers and moccasins are similar, featuring a low-cut silhouette with a laceless design. Loafers often have a more polished look with a raised heel and a bit more structure, while moccasins are traditionally crafted from soft leather with a one-piece upper for a relaxed feel.
Boat shoes, recognizable by their laces and 360-degree lacing around the back, are ideal for gripping boat decks and often feature nautical details.
Finally, driving shoes prioritize comfort and grip for operating a car, often incorporating a rubber sole and a snug fit around the heel. Driving shoes are typically made from leather or suede and as said, feature a rubber sole, but also have small rubber pebbles or nubs on the bottom. Pebbles provide excellent grip and flexibility, making them ideal for driving. However, if you don’t know about the pebbles, you can easily mistake them for moccasins. All in all, driving shoes often have a moccasin-like construction with a low profile and a comfortable fit.
By the way, I will buy these pastel blue driving shoes. I can already picture myself in these driving shoes, a short linen dress, and a hat with the silk scarf heading to Nerano for lunch at Lo Scoglio.
3 THE LITTLE SHOE - 60s STYLE PUMPS
We all need fashionable the Little shoe - 60s style pumps (I bought these) in our shoe closets. Emphasis on pretty and little!
The Little shoe - 60s style pumps are a building block for fashionable spring outfits and cold summer outfits. Whether you’re running errands or going to work, the Little shoe - 60s style pumps will complement your outfit perfectly. Ps. Get them in cherry red or butter yellow and white. And no, white is not reserved just for the bride. They can be pairedwith mini dresses, shorts or jeans, puddle pants, and even modern skinny jeans.
Choose styles that come with fabulous details like a bow or crystals that are the latest shoe trend. Once you have laid down interesting pair, you can create a multitude of fashionable looks with ease.
