And what are you guided by when choosing shoes this season? Despite the trends from the catwalks and the choices of street stylers, many fashionistas turn to their inner instinct, deciding to complete their look not with ballet flats or narrow sneakers, but with “grandma's” slippers or even ultra-thin and high heels. We tell you about the unusual shoe choices of fashionistas this spring in the vogue.ua selection.
Birkenstock flip-flops
If my memory serves me correctly, these comfortable cork-soled slippers were popular in 2024, and then came the wave of popularity of flip-flops, which continues to this day. Fashionistas continue to wear closed Birkenstock flip-flops with warm socks in the cool season – this is nothing new. However, it was unexpected to see their open model on the feet of a fashionista in the warm season. Linen shorts and a simple blue fitted shirt made a fashionable company for the slippers.

Anatomical sneakers
Those who value comfort and aesthetics will choose shoes with a wide toe in 2026. Those who like to provoke discussion with their style (or just wear something unusual) will choose sneakers with Vibram toes. This solution is especially intriguing and attractive in the summer, when, being in the city, you want to remember carefree childhood holidays, when running barefoot through the village yard was the main summer adventure.

High-heeled pumps
The opposite of comfortable anatomical shoes are heels. Of course, we rarely wear them to spend the whole day on our feet, beating the business rhythm with heels on the asphalt. However, this does not stop Scandinavian fashionista Emily Sindlev. Wearing stiletto pumps with cargo pants and a denim shirt just for the sake of content or a full-fledged appearance in the world? You may think that beauty requires sacrifice. However, in reality, sometimes all you really need is to feel at your best.

Ordinary Vietnamese women
Although flip-flops are still one of the most popular footwear choices for summer in 2026, alternative models are more fashionable than them: wedge mules, leather pairs or platform variations. The usual “beach” flip-flops should make way for similar models this summer. However, especially successful stylizations, complemented by these flip-flops, are certainly worth paying attention to.
