Every summer, fashion chooses one shoe – and this time the choice is unexpected: summer 2026 belongs to boots. While everyone was waiting for flip-flops and sandals, a completely different shoe took over the Isabel Marant and Courrèges collections and the streets of fashion capitals. This summer, we are inspired by our favorite looks of style icons and wear boots in the summer just like twenty years ago.
Cowboys and denim
The Wild West trend is slowly dying down – but cowboy boots are here to stay. This summer, wear them the way Sienna Miller did in the early 2000s: a white tank top, denim miniskirt or shorts, a bright bag and cowboy boots with floral details.

Ankle boots and crochet
Isabel Marant's spring-summer collection recommends relying on crochet and accessories from the holiday wardrobe – shells and bright beads. Complement the look with bohemian ankle boots with a print or charms.

Fringed boots and a shirt dress
Kate Moss wore boots in the summer twenty years ago – especially at Glastonbury Festival. This look remains relevant: pastel shirt dress, fringed boots, dark glasses and a bandana as a belt.
Second skin boots and a slip dress
In their cruise collection, Courrèges showed a combination of a dress with boots in an evening interpretation. The cult trend of the 1990s is back – second skin boots in pastel shades paired with a classic lingerie-style dress.
