Van minimalistisch tot opvallend: dit zijn dé schoenentrends van lente en zomer 2026

De dagen worden langer, de zon laat zich weer wat vaker zien en dat betekent maar één ding: tijd om je garderobe een frisse update te geven. Ook op vlak van schoenen belooft lente/zomer 2026 een seizoen vol verrassingen te worden.

The days are getting longer, the sun is showing itself a little more often, and that can only mean one thing: it is time to give your wardrobe a fresh update. When it comes to shoes, spring/summer 2026 promises to be a season full of surprises too. From playful eye-catchers to minimalist styles and comfortable classics with a modern twist, this season is all about style, ease and a generous dose of colour.

 


Curious to know which trends you will be seeing everywhere this spring and summer? We have listed the most exciting shoe trends for you.

Woven textures

Woven textures are making a strong comeback this spring and summer. Think shoes in raffia, woven leather or subtly braided materials that instantly create a summery, natural vibe. Perfect for giving a minimalist outfit that little extra touch, without going over the top. They do not just look light and airy, they also feel wonderfully breathable, ideal for warmer days.

 


In our collection, you will mainly spot this trend in our own brand Selected by La.ra., but also in brands such as Tamaris, Marco Tozzi, Mexx and Rieker Antistress.

Fancy footwear

Fancy footwear is the trend for those who dare to stand out this spring and summer. Shoes are becoming real eye-catchers, with sparkles, studs, playful straps and striking details such as floral appliqués or bows. They are no longer just practical, but are turning into little works of art that instantly give your outfit a fun and festive vibe. Fashion in 2026 makes one thing clear: it is time to be more playful and to shine again.

 


In our collection, you will find many of these eye-catching styles from Selected by La.ra. and Marco Tozzi.

Low profile

Slim sneakers are the must-have for anyone who loves a minimalist style. These low profile models have a slim sole and a refined look, making them a perfect match for almost any outfit, from casual jeans to a midi skirt or summer dress. They also bring balance to your look, for example by combining their delicate shape with wide trousers, and give every outfit a relaxed, modern edge.

 

It is no coincidence that this trend continues to dominate. After the chunky sneaker hype, fashion houses are once again choosing simplicity and elegance. Low profile, high fashion. In our collection, you will find plenty of these slim sneakers from brands such as Adidas, Nike and Tom Tailor.

Boho chic

Boho elements are making a noticeable return this summer. Think shoes with fringes, suede materials, studs and playful tassels that instantly evoke a free-spirited, summery vibe. The combination of soft, natural materials and striking details creates a look that feels both relaxed and stylish. Perfect with light linen trousers on warm days, or paired with jeans during the transitional season. Add a few subtle accessories and the boho look is complete.

 


In our collection, this trend mainly translates into a wide selection of moccasins that embrace this style, with many beautiful models from Selected by La.ra.

Wedge heels

Wedge heels are making a full comeback and are appearing more and more in everyday street style. This trend combines the best of both worlds: the elegance of a heel with the comfort of a flat sole. Thanks to their stable shape, you can wear them all day with ease, without compromising on style. Perfect for anyone who likes to add a little extra height to an outfit, while still putting comfort first.

 


In our collection, you will mainly see this trend in our comfort brands, such as Gabor, Rieker Antistress and Mustang.

Polkadots

Polkadots are making a playful comeback this spring and summer. This timeless print instantly adds a fresh and cheerful touch. Whether you choose a classic black-and-white combination or a softer version, polkadots bring just the right amount of life to your look without overpowering it.

 


In our collection, you will find this trend in lovely slingbacks, but also in accessories such as scarves and even summer dresses.

Flip-flops

Flip-flops are without a doubt the ultimate summer shoe. They breathe comfort, simplicity and that instant holiday feeling we all long for. With their airy fit and signature strap between the toes, they are perfect for warm days when you simply want to enjoy yourself, whether you are shopping, going for a walk or settling down on a sunny terrace.

 


At the same time, flip-flops are getting a stylish upgrade in 2026, with more refined models, soft materials and subtle details that give them that little something extra. This allows you to combine comfort with a trendy look effortlessly, bringing that relaxed holiday feeling into your everyday outfits.

 


In our collection, you will find a wide selection of flip-flops from Ipanema, as well as very trendy models from Tommy Hilfiger.

Zippers

Zippers are not only functional this season, they are also a real statement. What used to be purely practical is now deliberately used as a striking detail that gives shoes a slightly tougher and more modern look. Think subtle side zippers or more pronounced accents that add an edgy touch, without compromising on comfort.

 


Besides their fashionable appearance, zippers are of course also very practical: easy to put on and take off, while still ensuring a perfect fit. The ideal combination of functionality and style.

 


In our collection, you will often see this trend in our comfort brands such as Tamaris, Andrea Conti and Remonte.

Suede look

The suede look is a real mood-setter this spring and summer. The soft material instantly radiates elegance and calm, and looks beautiful in both fresh pastel shades and warm, natural colours. Whether you choose a sneaker or a moccasin, this fabric always gives your look a refined, timeless touch that fits the season perfectly.

 


In our collection, this trend is strongly represented by brands such as Tamaris, Selected by La.ra., Gant, Scapa and Gabor.

Pastel colours

Pastel colours remain a key part of the fashion scene this season. Soft shades such as pastel yellow, light green, baby blue and soft pink instantly bring a fresh and light feel to your outfit. They are ideal for enhancing that spring and summer mood and are easy to combine with neutral basics or tone-on-tone looks. Whether you go for subtle accents or a full pastel look, these colours always add a refined and feminine touch.

 


In our collection, this trend can be found across almost all brands, with many shoes, clothing items and accessories in pastel yellow, green, blue and pink.

Moccassins

Moccasins remain a true classic, receiving a fresh update this season. They stand for ultimate comfort and a timeless, elegant look, often with subtle details such as classic laces or refined finishes. Thanks to upgrades in luxurious materials and summery colours, they feel both modern and versatile, making them perfect with both casual and more dressed-up outfits.

 


In our collection, you will find a very wide selection of moccasins from Selected by La.ra. in all kinds of summery colours. They are also strongly represented within our comfort brands, such as Tamaris.

Slingbacks

Slingbacks are also impossible to ignore this season. These elegant open-heel shoes effortlessly combine femininity with comfort. You will see them both without a heel for a subtle everyday look and with a higher heel for a more dressed-up and refined appearance. Thanks to their timeless character, slingbacks go with almost any outfit, from casual jeans to a summer dress.

 


In our collection, you will find a wide selection of slingbacks, with both low and higher heels, from brands such as Tamaris, Marco Tozzi and Selected by La.ra.

Ballet flats

Ballet flats are making a full comeback and are once again becoming a firm favourite in everyday fashion. This timeless classic returns in a modern version, with both sleek, minimalist styles and variations with a fine strap for an extra feminine touch.

 


In our collection, you will find many lovely ballet flats, both with and without straps, from brands such as Tamaris, Marco Tozzi and our own brand Selected by La.ra.
