Flat soles are locking horns with heels in the battle for summer dominance. Square toe designs are gaining ground over pointed alternatives. The so-called 'grandmother style' is so influential that you'll want to shop without delay. And brooches? They're no longer just for blouses and scarves—they've found a new home on sandals. Rest assured, this summer we'll have plenty of freedom to stroll through our beloved city spots, time and again. We'll guide you on what footwear to wear from morning to night in this overview of spring-summer 2020 fashion trends.
Footwear Must-Haves for Summer 2020
Loafers with a Refined Edge
Loafers magically add a touch of severity and bohemian flair to any outfit. Wear them on workdays and experiment with various heel heights. A chunky high heel feels surprisingly modern, while prominent chains and rings give loafers a unique personality. How to style them for summer? Pair with a midi skirt and polo shirt, or with pleated dresses that have a schoolgirl vibe.

Flat Platform Sandals
Platform sandals are making a comeback from the 2000s. Back then, they were called 'flatforms' to distinguish them from wedge heels—a flat yet elevated sole. The most genuine versions draw inspiration from traditional Japanese footwear, featuring wooden soles or woven platforms. Satin color options add a delicate, almost doll-like charm. How to wear them? Pair with striped dresses or lace pieces for a romantic look.
