Forget the sandals—these 27 summer flats are even more stylish.
We all appreciate a nice pair of sandals during this season, but let's not overlook the charm of summer flats. While it's common to link flat shoes with spring and fall, brands have been getting increasingly creative with their designs lately, and I've certainly noticed. Among this year’s selections, I’ve seen a variety of trendy crochet, beaded, and mesh styles, along with bold colors and innovative takes on traditional designs like mules and espadrilles. Names like Zara, Reformation, Loewe, and Madewell are actively participating in the resurgence of summer flats, and shoppers are clearly enthusiastic. "Sold out" became a frequent phrase I encountered while selecting the shoes below. So before that happens with my curated picks, continue scrolling to add your favorites to your cart. For what it's worth, I’m particularly drawn to the first four pairs, but to be completely honest, I'd happily take every one of these 27 selections.
