I see you are raising your eyebrows right now. But please, don’t give me that look. Sure, a capsule wardrobe should consist of staple clothes and shoes. But apart from the staples you also need a few pieces that will elevate your spirits in your wardrobe. Pov, we are talking about a wardrobe larger than a capsule here.

Read, check the window that opened in a new tab, shop and then come back to read the rest. Be sure to browse through the galleries to find a similar product if you click on an item that is slightly over your budget. I made sure to add clothes at different price ranges that are available all over the globe.

So, what to buy for summer 2024.

ACCESSORIES

Shop the accessories first to make sure you don’t run out of money before you even fasten your new big logo belt and count the bows on your dress and sea shells in your hair.

GLOVES

Partially thanks to Bridgerton, gloves are very fashionable for summer 2024. 2024 is the year of fancy day gloves and elbow gloves. I already have a pretty nice collection of elbow gloves in my wardrobe. Hence I will put my hands on/in these quiet luxury cotton gloves.

TIGHTS AND SOCKS

Forget about the mid-calf socks and loafers on a mini skirt or knee socks and Sambas – this season we wear soft fluffy socks and white lace tights. White lace tights are very fashionable for summer 2024 – POV they will be in September.

Ps. Check the styling trends to see how to style tights with slingbacks for cold summer 2024. The most stylish combination might shock you.

BELTS AND SCARVES

Skinny scarves (indie sleaze is trending for 2024/25) and a fashionable belt – this season a chain belt with round loops, sash belt (I could never), and wide leather belt (worn with low waist skirt) offer a fun way of elevating your outfit for a casual day. They are the perfect accent, especially when emphasized with matching jewellery. Although, you might prefer a Chloé logo belt more – logo belts are coming big for AW24/25.

HAIR ACCESSORIES

Yes, just like last year, summer 2024 is all about hair accessories. Jersey headbands are still trending (I bought these two), but you might want to shop for larger-than-life hair accessories this season. They are the most fashionable hair accessories for summer 2024. But there are a few more hair accessories we will be wearing this year. Be sure to go through the extended report on SS24 hair accessories to find out what other hair accessories are in style for summer 2024.

MUST HAVE HAIR ACCESSORIES FOR SUMMER 2024 ON MY SHOPPING LIST

NEW TRENDY BAGS

Welcome summer with a new handbag. Preferably with a Khaite bag – the most wanted bags of the season are Khaite bags. A white leather bag is the most fashionable bag for summer 2024, next to daytime clutch, of course. Even so, it’s summer and a bucket bag is essential – shop for a fashionable embellished bucket bag with seashells or pearls. Or go for shell shape raffia bag – the prettiest shell shape straw bag. If you need a bag that is spacious enough to fit your entire flat, get a bag with pockets – it is the key bag trends for summer 2024, too.

Other bags in fashion for summer 2024 are a ladylike top handle bag – I will buy this one in burgundy that will transition well into fall 2024; bijoux bags, bags with a chain strap, envelope, micro crossbody bag, woven bag puffy woven bag for summer gym, cross-body raffia bag, woven basket bag, JW Anderson Popcorn Waxed-Cotton Basket Bag, novelty animal shape bag, heart shape bag, brushed gold hardware bags, cylindrical mini-bags that work as part of a multi bag set and small duffle bag that will be very fashionable for fall 2024.

SUMMER BAGS EVERYONE IS SHOPPING FOR SUMMER 2024

DESIGNER BAGS YOU NEED IN YOUR CAPSULE CLOSET

If you are shopping for a new designer bag to elevate your capsule wardrobe, get Khaite white leather bag, or Small Gucci Jackie in burgundy red.

JEWELLERY

Jewellery is going maximalist for summer 2024 and stacked bracelets and extra large-scale earrings are set to add drama. Or shop for hoops, and fringed earrings that are very fashionable for fall 2024. If you don’t wear earrings (I don’t!) buy into the biggest summer 2024 trend – molten metals. Or my favourite trending jewllery – bangles, and pearl choker necklaces with multiple strands of pearls and ribbon tightly wrapped. POV tiktok is oversaturated with this jewellery trend. You might want to be fashion forward and shop for boho chocker instead. Boho jewllery will be big for AW24/25.

Still, you might prefer to be seasonal and get a pretty charm necklace, or a lavish wrist cuff bracelet and arm cuff. All in all bracelets and arm cuffs are the most fashionable jewellery pieces for summer 2024.

By the way, chain necklace layered with a choker are still in fashion for 2024. They are giving indie sleaze.

HATS

Summer 2024 brought back the trucker hat. But no well-curated spring summer capsule wardrobe is complete without a boater raffia hat (I will buy this one). Still, if you really want to be on trend for SS24 you will want to get a raffia cowboy hat. POV millennials might prefer a turban/head wrap for a boho chic summer look.

HEADWEAR TO ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

Ps. You can also wear your new headscarf tied in the back or tied under your chin. Like Grace Kelly would with oversized sunglasses.

SUNGLASSES

While Aviators and cool sunglasses will never go out of style, everyone fashionable is shopping for supersized sunglasses and futuristic sunglasses right now. Futuristic cat-eye sunglasses, large-scale racer shades – shield-like frameless sunglasses with colored lens, shield sunglasses, heart shape sunglasses and transparent sunglasses are the most popular sunglasses for summer 2024.

SHADES TO INVEST IN 2024/25 – THE TRENDIEST SUNGLASSES OF THE SEASON

Other sunglasses in fashion for SS24 are 90s oval frame is featured in a slim silhouette with a light metal structure.

Ps. Check the extended eyewear fashion trend report to find out more about sunglasses in style for 2024. But first, shop for spring-summer capsule wardrobe must haves.

Now that you are all accessorized and up to date with the latest accessory trends – let’s fill your closet with some new season’s clothes and shoes.

TRENDY UNDERWEAR

Well, we might need to shop for fashionable underwear first. High-rise stretch knickers and lace bralettes are back in fashion, and there are so many pretty bras and briefs to shop for summer 2024 capsule wardrobe.

As for the colour, go for fashionable berry red lingerie. And no, I won’t write you should buy berry red lingerie to feel sexy and powerful, because we all know that is not the thing with the lingerie. That is what men think and it is wrong. It was old marketing creeps (mostly men and that poor secretary who had to write it all down) back in the 50s who came up with the idea to sell lingerie as the ultimate power. The results were bad for all the new generations of women. Anyway, we know better now.

Browse through the widget below to see capsule lingerie wardrobe.

STYLISH DRESSES FOR COLD SUMMER 2024

Get a jump start on summer with the most fashionable dress of the season – milkmaid dress – I’m obsessed with this one or bet on a drop waist dress (I bought this one). It gives the same effect, but you can wear it everywhere from brunch, fancy garden party to work. But, if you can buy only one dress, get milkmaid dress – it is the No. 1 the most fashionable summer dress in 2024.

DRESSES TO WEAR WHEN IT RAINS

If it is enduring favourites you are after, then opt for a fashionable mini pinstripe shirt dress, knitted dresses with a wide waistband that creates a play on volume between bodice and skirt in cool pastel tones, or a dress with lace and bows.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE COLD SUMMER DRESSES 2024

Revamp your entire mode with an updated tennis core dress (I bought it too), which is perfect for work and play in summer), a mini dress with high neck, dropped jersey dress with sculpted sleeve, floaty ruffled dress, mini cady dress – I’m obsessed with this one and will most likely buy it too (it’s the little black dress you buy once and wear forever, pov until your daughter steals it from you). Or try something entirely new – like a mini dress with cached corset, or even better – the trendiest TikTok dress of the season – mini dress with constructed in panels.

Oh, and also the dress with bubble hem. Yes, the bubble hem dress is still in style for summer 2024.

Ps. browse through the widget below to see/shop for the dresses I recently bought for myself.

CHIC DRESSES FOR THE PARTY

No closet is really complete without at least one little black dress hanging up in there.

 Ps. If you don’t know what little black dress to buy for summer 2024 – check the list of the most fashionable little black dresses. It will help!

SUMMER DRESSES FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS

For an updated summer look, get a organza dress – flared mini organza dress or column tulle dress – with layers of organza on the front of dress, or explore mini dresses – I’m obsessed with this one. You heard it here first – the length of prefall 2024 is going to be mini with silhouettes that flatter in an elegant way.

Also fashionable for summer 2024 are the a crochet dress, an open knit dress, a cut out knit dress, asheer dress, crinkled slip dress, flowing maxi dress (with a belt), bow stacked dress halterneck dress, column dress, babydoll mini dress, strapless dress, sequined summer dresses, beach-to-bar dress. Plus, all the dress styles that are in fashion for spring 2024 – only made of thinner materials.

LIGHT SUMMER DRESSES FOR THE CITY

Another summer dress I’m pretty sure you will be happy to wear again is a long lace trimmed slip dress. It is giving boho western. Btw Boho dresses are very fashionable for summer 2024.

STYLISH SUMMER DRESSES FOR THE BEACH

Good news if you like a kaftan. Your favourite beach-to-bar dress is back in style with the addition of waist-cinching details like seams, ties and belts.

SUMMER KNITWEAR

It won’t be long until the next big event, where we can finally re-emerge looking our very best. Let us bring some glamour back! Every once in a while, we need a transformative moment and a one-of-a-kind pieces to steal the spotlight.

Lightweight and versatile knitwear is perfect for this period as we shift towards summer.

Choose between black turtleneck sweater with short sleeves (I bought this cute black short sleeve sweater), a black turtleneck sweater with 3/4 sleeves (I bought this one from Max Mara), a pretty cardigan sweater with short sleeves, slouchy V-neck sweater, V neck sweater, long sweater, crochet sweater – I will buy this crochet sweater – it’s the prettiest sweater yet, but you might prefer to shop for a V-neck crochet sweater with hanky hem and rosettes – it’s the most fashionable knitwear of the season, or perhaps a baby cardigan, cardigan sweater, crew neck cardigan, long cardigan – long as a dress that is my preferred statement cardigan as we look forward to the future. Long cardigans will be very fashionable for fall winter 2024/25. But stylish long cardigans are perfect for those chilly summer mornings, too.

SPRING KNITS AND LATE SUMMER KNITWEAR TO WEAR ON COLD SUMMER MORNINGS AND CHILLY SUMMER NIGHTS

Embrace throwback elegance with a halterneck knit top that is perfect for a casual dinner date or a night out, too.

Pov, something knitted is essential for summer 2024.

SUMMER KNITS TO ADD TO YOUR SUMMER CAPSULE WARDROBE IMMEDIATELY

For summer 2024 capsule wardrobe, fill your closet with a halterneck knit top – will buy this one, knitted top with thin straps, front tie knit top, knitted bralette, striped knit top, cut-out knit top, or a knitted tube top.

Surely you can find fashionable knitwear that matches your style. I’m adding these knitted pieces.

CO-ORD SETS

Prepare for the season ahead by snapping up key pieces that will mix and match seamlessly with what you already own. Double down on a co-ord set that looks great together or styled solo.

I bought myself this chic tweed skirtsuit as it will transition well into fall. And I plan to buy this yellow pantsuit next.

SUITS

Tailored garments are no longer as oversized as in the past, but slightly slimmer. I am not saying it is time to retire your favourite relaxed oversized suit – oversized suit is still in fashion. In fact, a white oversized suit will look refreshing during the heatwave.

But update your capsule summer wardrobe with a skinny pantsuit and knee-length skirt suit that will transition into fall 2024 effortlessly.

JACKETS AND OUTWEAR

Thinking about how to stay warm as the weather stays cold? Summer layering is all about layering up without sacrificing style.

Try round biker jacket or a trucker jacket, or fall for the irresistible charm of this season’s most fashionable jacket – boxy jacket. I bought it too. But I am already eyeing a jacket that will transition into fall 2024 as some of the most fashionable jackets of the season – more below.

A TRENCH COAT IS A MUST ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

If you can buy only one thing – get a classic trench coat. Short trench coats are in fashion for summer 2024. I have this one from Burberry (pov could be shorter) that comes with removable hood.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE PREFALL JACKETS

An instant pick-me-up, a beautiful jacket is the one item that really pulls an outfit together. I plan to buy this stunning cropped tweed jacket from Sandro to wear with a matching skirt and this trendy cropped Maje tweed jacket for more casual prefall ensembles.

I already have a cropped black leather jacket from Sandro Paris and a Barbour quilted jacket, but I also need this wind jacket for rainy summer days in Alps.

Ps. Get a stylish windbreaker to do away with dull rainy day styles that don’t excite.

On the other hand, a trench coat will never lead you astray. A trench coat is a wardrobe staple worthy of investing in.

I have this chic taffeta trench coat. You might want the same taffeta trench coat, too, to keep the look modern.

SUMMER JACKETS TO WEAR OVER A CROP TOP

For not so warm summer nights, I will get oversized jacket with cargo pockets I’m obsessed with this cropped leather jacket with big pockets and this H&M cropped denim jacket that goes seamlessly well on my new skirt. You might also want a hourglass jacket and a bomber jacket that is still in.

BLAZERS

As you manage a full day’s schedule, you will need some stylish blazers that are equally hard-working.

I already have an oversized double-breasted blazer – in navy; and a fashionable double breasted blazer (with mismatched buttons.

For summer 2024, I plan to buy this modern academia single breasted oversized blazers with patch chest pocket. You might also want to get a blazer with round shoulders, cropped blazer, denim blazer, oversized cinched blazer with slightly exaggerated shoulders, and hourglass blazer with a defined waist. They are the trendiest blazers for summer 2024.

BLAZERS THAT SHOULDN’T MISS IN YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

Btw, I buy my blazers mainly from Sandro and Pinko. Why there? Because Pinko and Sandro Paris make the most fashionable and quality blazers. Their blazers don’t wrinkle, don’t look outworn the moment you take them out of the box. Plus, they are easy to style all season long.

SKIRTS

Summer 2024 brings infinite possibilities for what lies ahead. Get excited for longer lengths and new skirt trends.

Get a short flounce skirt, full midi butter yellow skirt, barrel denim skirt, fishtail denim skirt, a long column denim skirt with a slit, a maxi denim skirt with a slit and lace panels, maxi column skirt,  sheer skirt, pencil skirt, full tulle skirt – white tulle, skirt with a dropped waist, long slip satin skirt, sarong skirt, bubble hem mini skirt, knee length skirt, and the No.1 most fashionable skirt of the season – lwhite midi lace skirt.

SOME OF THE TRENDY SKIRTS I’VE ALREADY BOUGHT AND FASHIONABLE SKIRTS I STILL HAVE TO BUY FOR SS24

Worry not; if you are not into the midi and maxi lengths, you can shop for a straight mini skirt, instead. I will buy this mini straight skirt. The straight mini skirt is the biggest prefall 2024 skirt trend you can follow in summer 2024. Ps. It will transition into winter 2024/25, also. And there are many colors to choose from.

Live life to the fullest with vibrant splashes of colour. Berry red mini straight skirt exudes a fiery passion, while a mini skirt in black will colour your mood in anticipation of spring 2025.

SHORTS

Shorts are a must-have item for any fashion-forward woman. Not only are they practical for the warmer weather, but they also come in a wide range of styles that can fit any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a casual, laid-back look or something a bit more dressed up, there’s a pair of shorts that will fit the bill.

This season, expect to see a variety of jorts, bloomers, and capri shorts everywhere. But also men’s boxer shorts (still) and super short shorts (I love these) styles from high-waisted to denim, leather shorts to short tailored shorts (these are my favourite, but I wear these when I need to dress more business smart), and short fringed denim shorts everywhere. Whatever your personal style may be, there’s a pair of shorts out there that will fit it perfectly. And for when the weather doesn’t quite agree, get short tweed shorts – I have them in every colour, and trust me, they are the most wearable piece in my capsule closet.

SHOP FOR THE SHORTS I HAVE IN MY CAPSULE CLOSET AND THOSE THAT I WILL BUY THIS SEASON

PANTS

If you prefer long pants over skirts and shorts, shop for high waisted pants – I will buy these Max Mara linen high waisted pants, capris – I will buy these tailored capri trousers (the most fashionable pants of the season), leopard pants, tapered pants, pinstripe pants, track pants – pants with elastic waistband – I have these yellow track pants. 

Finally, recycled black leather pants – a must have pants in every well-curated closet; and carrot pants if you wish to be fashion forward. I will buy these Max Mara powder blue carrot pants And black skinny wool pants that are as comfortable as leggings, but can be worn as pants for work and formal events. I wear these for golf, as well.

Btw, I buy most of my pants at Max Mara. They are simply the best.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE PANTS FOR SUMMER 2024

JEANS

Jeans are once again the fundamental building blocks of any well curated capsule wardrobe.

Embrace the versatility of denim as you wear it with everything from pretty cardigans and simple shirts to going out tops.

Get a pair of trendy white jeans and raw denim jeans; you will reach for those on a daily. I sure do.

For summer 2024 shop for white jeans – white baggy jeans, wide-leg jeans, barrel jeans (yes, they are still trending), raw straight denim jeans, modern skinny jeans (Ps. there is a male model featured wearing the linked skinny jeans, but these are the same skinny jeans I have, too – they are unisex, so don’t get confused by the model).

THE MOST FASHIONABLE JEANS FOR SUMMER 2024

Bring some denim into the summer mix with white denim jeans, or be fashion forward and buy into the biggest AW24/25 denim trend – new season skinny jeans with a wider hem. By the way, I already have these from A.P.C. Paris (but I can’t guarantee they will look like they have a wider hem on you). And I have these from Sézane, too. Anyway, I will also purchase these wider hem skinny jeans from Diesel. I have more than six skinny jeans from Diesel already (sadly, none with a wider hem yet) and they are all so very comfortable and stretchy.

SUMMER TOPS AND BLOUSES

Optimize your summer wardrobe by investing in items that will never disappoint. Look for signature silhouettes like white T-shirt, silk slip top and classic fabrications like a silk blouse (by the way, I recently bought this shell button-down silk shirt and I just purchased this chic bow-tie silk blouse) for tried and tested styles destined to become mainstays you reach for time and time again.

THE MOST STYLISH SUMMER TOPS

Keep your spirits high and do away with dullness by opting for front tie top, crossed front halterneck top, crochet top, tank top, lace trim rectangular top, bralette, hoodie with classic sport-style fitted tank shape in jersey, strapless top, modern peplum top, denim corset top, cowlneck top, football jersey, rugby top, lace crop-top, hanky hem sleeveless top – bandana top, one shoulder top, polo shirt, ribbed knit top, linen vest.

A BLOUSE IS ESSENTIAL IN ANY CAPSULE CLOSET

We are championing a return to full-on glamour with a standout blouses with boatneck and voluminous balloon sleeves – we are obsessed with this blouse from Khaite, one shoulder blouse, and sheer organza blouse. I would buy this organza blouse if it was made of silk – POV $159 is too expensive for poli blend. Also, I only but things made of poli if I can customize them or are made by my designer friends.

But now it’s not the time to hold back; it’s time to shop for stylish blouses in fashion for summer 2024. All in all, this is the party season we have all been waiting for.

By the way, I love this ruffled blouse, but I already have a similar sheer ruffled blouse, so instead, I will buy this frilled silk blouse that I love as well. POV I need this blouse in every colour.

And if you like my personal style – or just want to dress more feminine chic, you need or get this exuberantly ruffled blouse.

SHIRTS FOR SUMMER CAPSULE WARDROBE

While a classic white poplin Oxford shirt is every corporate girlie’s staple, you might want to refresh your wardrobe with a shirt in oversized cut and vertically placed ruffles.

Explore also sheer shirts, and longer-length shirts and multifunctional styles that can double as dresses and beach cover-ups.

Ps. If you are looking for the best quality shirts that won’t break your bank, look here. Quality garanteed!

SUMMER TOPS TO ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE IMMEDIATELY

Refresh your wardrobe with trendy tops and tees for summer 2024. I will refresh my wardrobe with tube tops and slip tops. A hanky hem slip top and slip top with lace trim are the must have tops for summer 2024.

IF YOU NEED 2 T-SHIRTS IN YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE – BUY THESE T-SHIRTS ONLINE

We are not holding back in 2024 – not even when it comes to a simple white T-shirt. While a quiet luxury T-shirt will be in your closet forever and will be your building block for your chicest summer outfits (pov no matter your personal style), an oversized T-shirt, T-shirt with 1/3 sleeves, graphic t-shirt, henley t-shirt, ringer tee, thin stripe T-shirt or bow stacked T-shirt will make you look fashionable effortlessly.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE 2024 SUMMER TOPS

Think ahead to that golden tan when considering your summer wardrobe. A front tie top,  lace crop-top, crossed front halterneck top, crochet top, tank top, lace trim rectangular top, bralette, hoodie with classic sport-style fitted tank shape in jersey, modern peplum top, cowlneck top, football jersey, rugby top, hanky hem sleeveless top – bandana top, one shoulder top, polo shirt, denim corset top, ribbed knit top, linen vest, and strapless top show up bronzed skin in high contrast. We are ready for that imminent getaway. Well, perhaps not. We still need to purchase swimwear.

SWIMWEAR

We are all dying to feel the warmth of the sun and sea. If you are already planning your well-deserved summer break, make sure you don’t forget to take fashionable swimwear with you.

Pack a trendy one shoulder swimwear (one shoulder swimsuit, one shoulder bikini top with no bra cup), terry cloth swimwear, leopard swimwear, or center-halter swimsuit that doubles up as a bodysuit for the city. Or even better, a swimsuit with deep and wide neckline that is perfect for the club.

If you are reminiscing about halcyon days of vintage glamour, try fashionable retro swimwear (swimsuit with underwire, bandeau swimsuit, bandeau top, half-cup styles, bikini tops with a straight neckline, high-waisted bikini bottoms, swimsuits with twisted bust) this summer.

Or perhaps swimwear with bows or swimsuits with crossed straps on the back. You will love those details that add a fashion forward element to a typical beach look.

There is something irresistibly chic about wearing shimmer on the beach, too. Everyone stylish will wear shimmer swimwear this summer.

On the other hand, a fashionable swimsuit with waist cutouts is the perfect bridge as we transition from lounging on the sand to lunch in the shade.

LOUNGEWEAR

For those lazy days at home or in a camp, a jersey hoodie or a sweatshirt paired with pyjama shorts seems occasion-appropriate. But nothing looks chicer than a Max Mara belted jumpsuit. I’m obsessed!

SUMMER SHOES AND SANDALS

Step into summer in the most fashionable shoes of the season. I hope you are not afraid of heights because 2024 brought back platform clogs, platform loafers, platform fisherman sandals, and wood-leather wedge platform sandals.

Worry not; wedges are not the only summer 2024 shoe trends trending for summer 2024. 

Mesh ballet flats are very fashionable, too. Still! Also, square toe ballet flats with Mary Jane straps. Btw, I’m obsessed with these – Mary Jane mesh ballet flats. But, once you see all these Gucci kitten heel slingbacks in cherry red I bought recently, you will immediately forget about other shoe trends.

Indeed, kitten heels are very fashionable for summer 2024. GenZ favourite! Btw, we also love column heels. But if we could buy only one pair of shoes, we would buy these mule kitten heels with a bow.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE SANDALS FOR SUMMER 2024

With temperatures rising, we can’t wait to step into sandals. T bar sandals, cord thong sandals, toe ring sandals – flat toe loop sandals, scrappy sandals with bows (I will buy these), kitten heel sandals with a toe ring, sports sandals with multiple straps, sandals with crossover and spaghetti tie-up straps, and sandals with cuff are the most fashionable sandals for summer 2024. But these retro-style ergonomic flat slingback sandals might come high on your shopping shoe list, too. They are some of the most wanted summer shoes for 2024.

Flipflops are fashionable again, also. Shop for flipflops or slides with luge sole  – they will be perfect for the poolside.

For the beach front and beyond, get toe ring sandals, cord thong sandals, jellies – PVC flat sandals, wedge slides, or slip-on espadrilles.

SUMMER SHOES FOR WORK

Since sandals are not business formal, I bet, you will want to seize the chance and wear your Valentino Garavani Rockstud leather pumps to work this summer. They are back in fashion! Just like pointed pumps with extreme, longer pointed toes.

Oh yes, pointy pumps are fashionable again. You will get obsessed with Mary Jane with pointed toes. They go great on your new wide-leg pants. Surely, I will walk around in these Mary Jane with multiple thin straps on a rainy summer day. Pov, having at least one pair of summer-rain shoes is somehow a must. But I love wearing head to toe black in summer – in every weather.

For heatwave, invest in my favourite designer flat mules – they are black as well.

For something more casual but equally fashionable, get driving shoes to wear with skinny jeans.

SUMMER DESIGNER SHOES TO BUY FOR SUMMER 2024

Designer shoes everyone is buying for summer 2024: Gucci Gignorina slingbacks, Chloé wedge sandals, The Row flipflops, Khaite mesh ballet flats – they are the prettiest ballet flats yet.

SNEAKERS

If you prefer investing in sneakers, shop for slip on Vans (PR is doing their best to make them the most fashionable sneakers of the season – IMAO, they are an L), Adidas Gazelle (I bought these), Salomon XT-6, New Balance 2002, Adidas Samba (I won’t buy them as they don’t come in my size at all! – but you get them in one of the most fashionable color of the season – or even better in two tone version), Adidas Forum (I will buy these), Asics Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers (I bought them in white some time ago, but you might want to be more fashion forward than me and get them in grey), a pair of chic white Veja campo sneakers (I have these), New Balance 574 (I have these– and are the softest sneakers yet), or Taylor Chuck All Stars (I have them in pink, of course) – these three sneakers never go out of fashion. And some ON running sneakers, of course.
