No outfit is complete without fabulous footwear, so today I’m rounding up the best summer shoe trends to top off your sundressesbeachwear and more this season.

While you may typically reach for sandals or ballet flats this time of year because they’re easy go-tos and keep your feet comfy in the summer heat, this season’s best looks are actually stylish and comfortable. (So you can leave those lace-up Greek sandals that make your feet sore at the back of your closet for now!). Even if you get just one pair from the list below, your entire look will be updated through fall.
