Although the temperature means you hardly need to wear anything, summer always causes outfit crises. Today, we're getting to the root of the problem: 7 ideas for trend followers.

The good news: there's something for everyone. Because this year, minimalists will get their money's worth just as much as those who prefer to lay it on thick, nature lovers and pop art fans. The bad news: you're spoilt for choice. Between ...

Ballerinas or chunky loafers

Ballerinas made their way back into the spotlight back in autumn. Now, almost three seasons later, the sparsely soled shoes are still around and demand more attention than ever.
Opposite them are trainers that you can easily slip into, but which otherwise project the complete opposite of the ballerina. Instead of nestling inconspicuously and narrowly on the foot, loafers have not been chunky enough for some time now. The sole can be extra thick, the toe can be wide and angular and details such as chains do the rest.

Natural or neon

Do you like neutrals and prefer pieces that couldn't be easier to mix and match? Then you'll be pleased to hear that natural tones and materials definitely belong on every well-stocked shoe shelf this summer.
But you can just as easily let it rip underneath and join the neon team. Sandals in pink, orange, lime green or squeaky yellow make simple outfits exciting or add even more colour to an already colourful palette.

There's a pattern here, isn't there? This summer, you'll have to choose between spilling or chunking. This doesn't just apply to the sole and the colour, but starts with the silhouette of the shoe. Should it be very delicate and almost create a barefoot effect or is your shoe the highlight of the whole look and the centre of attention?

And then there are ... clogs

The aforementioned agony of choice here simply comes down to two options: to wear or not to wear. Clogs are neither classically beautiful nor particularly comfortable, but rather fall into the category of "ugly chic". They are extremely popular in the fashion world and are now accompanying us through the summer in the form of slipper-like shoes with wooden or cork soles.
