WORDS BY AMELIA BELL
Looking for a summer sole mate? The simple joys of the flat summer shoe are endless: printed slides that require zero effort, backless mules for easy slip-on elegance, multi-strap sandals as comfortable as they are cool… We definitely have high hopes for low heels this season.
Get ready to swipe left on the best flat footwear Prada, Mansur Gavriel, Attico and more have to offer. Your perfect pair awaits…
1. Embellished sandals
Let your feet do all the talking with Prada’s vintage bead detail, a classic Alexander Wang stud or Miu Miu embellishments.
2. Multi-strap flats
For the dynamic duo behind Mansur Gavriel it’s all about using colour to express yourself - these primary colour block, multi-strap mules are ideal for those feel-good days.
3. Tie-detail flats
Thank Miuccia for bringing tie-detail flats into our lives; from Prada’s playful printed scarf sandals to little sister Miu Miu’s ankle tie ballerinas, these flats are set to rule for seasons to come.
4. Sculptural sandals
It’s all about sculptural shapes this summer, and Jacquemus and Neous’ artfully asymmetric pairs are the perfect starting point.
5. Woven sandals
Inspired by the classical legends of Ancient Greece, we’ll be wearing our versatile woven flat sandals everywhere this summer: in the city, on the sand.
6. Printed slides
Girlish ribbons on a modern pool slide — if Gucci says it’s a thing, just nod and say yes.
7. Logo flats
Wear your heart on your sleeve with head-to-toe logo love — even Miu Miu has joined the logomania craze this season.
8. Slingback flats
Slingback pumps have ditched their prim, ladylike association thanks to a minor re-brand by a slew of emerging designers. Now they’re all kinds of cool - wear yours with frayed denim and a printed tee.
9. Buckle sandals
Attico’s buckled flats are the cream of the label’s latest crop. The only question: will you go open toe sandals or buckled ballerinas?
10. Mules
Mules made for walking… finally! Plus they look even better in Proenza Schouler’s signature fire-engine red with metallic grommet detail.
