I don’t know about you, but I have always struggled with choosing which shoes to wear in the summer months. Between sandals that rub, closed-toe styles that feel too covered up for the heat and the new trends that bubble to the surface what feels like every week, it can be a little overwhelming working out the best shoes to wear at this time of the year. So, in search of some inspiration on the subject, I took to the social media feeds of some of my favourite celebrities to see which summer shoe trends they’ve been backing in 2024 so far.
What struck me, however, was how anti-trend all of their shoe choices seem to be. Between sticking to a very classic colour palette and opting for silhouettes and styles that are perennial in their appeal, celebrities are sticking with tried-and-tested footwear formulas this season, with the spotlight being shone upon three styles in particular.
With a high probability that one, two or all three of these shoes are already lurking in your wardrobe somewhere, scroll on to discover which shoes celebs are prioritising this year and that you should also prioritise by proxy. Still, should you find any pairs missing from your collection, I’ve shopped out the chicest market options for each non-trend shoe, too.
 SUMMER SHOE TRENDS CELEBRITIES ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW
1. WHITE SANDALS
I always thought white shoes could look a little cheap 1) depending on the shoe style itself and 2) what you wear them with. White sandals, however, have always felt fresh and appealing for summer. For one, the light colour way tends to suit both bright and more subdue hues in contrast to black, which can look a little harsh sometimes.
It’s this versatility that means white sandals always peak in the summer months, especially if you’re having to prioritise space in your suitcase. Both Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sabrina Elba included white sandals in their holiday capsules this summer, and I’ll be following their lead when prepping for my own vacation in a couple of weeks.
