Sometimes it’s hard to remember to stop and smell the roses, so perhaps this summer’s sweetest shoe trend could serve as a handy reminder. Now that holiday snaps have started to fill up your Instagram feed, you might well have noticed a proliferation of flower-adorned shoes in Ibiza, the Greek islands, Marseille and elsewhere. While Carrie Bradshaw would approve of this feminine detail, it doesn’t apply only to teetering heels: flowers are also blooming on flip-flop sandals with dainty kitten heels, as well as on chunky flats and woven ballet pumps.
High-heeled sandals with flowers
The perfect addition to a light linen dress, pastel co-ords, or jorts and a nice top, flower-bedecked heels bring lightness and freshness to any outfit. An ideal way to dress up a heatwave outfit after dark.
Kitten heels with flowers
If high-heels feel too much like hard work in the summer months, rest assured that flowers are blooming on more wearable alternatives, too. These dainty takes on the trend look particularly good with a pair of jeans.
Flat sandals with flowers
No summer wardrobe is complete without an embellished pair of flat sandals that will take you from the beach to the bar. Now that flip-flops can be formal, leather versions of this style can even be office appropriate when temperatures rise.
Floral pumps
The ultimate alternative to sandals in summer? Ballet flats, obviously – and especially if they are made of mesh. For summer 2025, this modern classic has been given a romantic floral refresh.
