In the spring-summer 2026 season, three shoe trends are confidently emerging as leaders. While ballet flats are gradually losing their relevance, other silhouettes are returning to fashion. Among the popular models are topsiders, which were reinterpreted as bohemian ankle boots in the Louis Vuitton collection, flip-flops in a new interpretation – with heels at Balenciaga or minimalist flat soles at Bottega Veneta, as well as espadrilles, which are becoming relevant again after several seasons of oblivion.
Topsiders
Louis Vuitton spring-summer 2026
Topsiders in 2026 are one of the main shoe trends. After the revival of popularity in 2025, this model does not disappear, but becomes especially relevant. This season you can choose both classic topsiders and more interesting variations. In any form, this shoe remains an important part of the trends of 2026.
Flip-flops
Bottega Veneta spring-summer 2026
Balenciaga spring-summer 2026
Flip-flops are traditionally a popular summer shoe. However, this year you shouldn't just pick the first model you see. In 2026, flip-flops are becoming a full-fledged part of the wardrobe and are appearing as a basic pair in the assortment of leading brands. In the white version, they contrast with a long black dress at Bottega Veneta. At Balenciaga, they are worn as evening shoes – with bright dresses. Now flip-flops are appropriate both on the coast and at an elegant dinner. This season, they are becoming one of the main shoe trends.
Espadrilles

This shoe is the most unexpected comeback of the season. After being popular in the previous decade, espadrilles are making a comeback thanks to their simple and natural look. Jacquemus has more sophisticated models, and Celine has heeled versions. Today, espadrilles are even worn to the office with suits. In the summer of 2026, they are once again among the main shoe trends.
