If you're adding anything to your cart for your spring-summer wardrobe, make it one of the three flat shoe trends below. That's because of all the shoes currently in style, flats are particularly relevant. Comfortable and chic in equal measure, they're the perfect easy accessory for the warmer weather and so easy to pair with nearly everything you own. A few flat shoe trends have begun to rise above the rest to become the most sought-after and desired shoes for spring.
We've already seen ballerinas circulating among the street style set, but a pair in a fun animal print such as leopard or cow will be the coolest versions you can wear. Meanwhile, boat shoes are well on their way to becoming the most viral footwear of the coming season. There's also a lot of interest in metallic flats, which can be found in everything from sneakers to loafers. So let's dig in: Below, find the biggest flat shoe trends for spring-summer 2025, where to buy them, and how to style the looks. Boat shoes This trend can be traced back to Miuccia Prada, who included boat shoes in her collection for Miu Miu last spring-summer 2024 by mixing the footwear with polo shirts for the purest form of preppy style. Since then, nautical shoes have been a recurring theme among fashion insiders. But everything is pointing to spring 2025 as the definitive moment when we start seeing them everywhere. Luckily, retailers seem to have caught on because boat shoes are readily available at all your favorite shopping destinations.As for how to style boat shoes, you can always follow Prada's lead and go for the full preppy look with a striped polo and your favorite trousers. And on weekends, nautical flats are the perfect partner to your most comfortable jeans. But if you’re feeling really ambitious, we love how well these shoes contrast with a frothy spring dress. They’ll ground even the frilliest frock and turn the look into something fresh and unexpected. Animal print loafers and ballerinas After taking over our dresses, pants, and jackets this fall and winter, the omnipresent animal-print trend is coming for the world of flats. Specifically, cow or leopard-print loafers and ballerina flats are the ones to buy. The trend started quietly in 2024, which means by this spring they will be the go-to item to add a special touch to any look. Not sure how to wear animal-print flats? Animal print really is the new neutral, so the truth is…wear them however you want! That said, some of the most successful street style outfits we’ve seen rely on basics in black, white, cream, and other muted tones to let the shoes really shine for themselves. Metallic shoes Metallic shoes, in both gold and silver, will also be especially popular over the course of this year. From ballet flats to Mary Janes to loafers to sneakers, there is no shoe style this trend won’t touch. The best part about the metallic-flats shoe trend is that it can instantly elevate any outfit, no matter how casual or low-key. Silver sneakers or ballerinas can complement a midiskirt just as well as they do a pair of jeans or suit set. Thanks to the neutral tone of these shiny flats, you can also play with color—like adding bright socks or tights to a pair of loafers—for a playful twist.
