Fashion influencers are sure that as soon as it gets warmer, everyone will immediately start wearing ballet flats with an open heel. This spring-summer 2026 season, laconic models in a neutral palette and bright neon pairs are in trend.

Dress shoes aren't what they used to be: heels are becoming more and more discreet, and the toe has an almond-shaped silhouette for the third year in a row. Fashion influencers continue to integrate these shoe codes into their wardrobes, focusing this spring on an exceptionally elegant pair – open-toed ballet flats or micro-heeled slingbacks.
Fashionistas are choosing flat-soled models in a neutral burgundy and black palette and adding them to looks with skinny jeans and capris. Among the adherents of this shoe is Scandinavian influencer and entrepreneur Matilda Gerf.

Those who want to elongate their silhouette with low heels don't neglect brighter shades. Like slingbacks with bows in a juicy lemon shade or a pink suede pair. There are no limits to the styles: from skirts with character to Bermuda shorts and white jeans and transparent dresses.
