Ballerinas

ICYMI Ballet flats have made a major comeback on the spring summer 2023 runways and we’re all for it (thankyou balletcore). Think fresh modern styles, bold colours and unique textures — there are a myriad of options that work for just about any occasion or outfit. We’ve spotted our favourite celebrities like Sonam Kapoor, Kiara Advani and Anushka Sharma flaunting this trend on and off screen.

Sneakers

With the emergence of athleisure, sneakers have elevated beyond the gym floor and on to the runways. From the retro soccer style to the nostalgic classics, it’s a great time to invest in this footwear favourite. They can be paired with smart casuals, work wear and even feminine silhouettes, your options are plenty. Rakul Preet made a stylish statement when she paired a pair of sneakers with a lehenga.

Platform flip flops

Popularized by Kendall Jenner, platform flip flops are gaining momentum in the fashion world. They give the humble flip flops a modern makeover, and team perfectly with all your summer basics.

Block heels

Various iterations of the block heel are surfacing in the fashion circuit this season – think wedge, platform or bulky block heel. Known to be high on comfort, this celebrity favourite can be styled in countless ways. Pair them with a blazer for a chic corporate look or team them with a sundress for summer.

Mary Janes

Synonymous with ultra-preppy fashion, this style has now become an IT girl staple. A classic pair often comes in a flat platform style, but it’s the chunky platform-heeled Mary Janes that are the real deal. Symbolising a time when being ‘Miss Goody-Two-Shoes’ was a vibe, in 2023, it strikes the perfect balance between vintage and modern street-style.

Minimal sandals

Minimal strappy slingback sandals can be styled in an array of ways and is the easiest way to embody the quiet luxury trend. They have kitten heels for just the right amount of height and cushioned soles, so you can wear them to the office and beyond.
