Overview of Summer Footwear Trends

● Micro Heels

In the fashion-forward year of 2024, micro heels are experiencing a grand resurgence, reminiscent of the micro purse phenomenon of yesteryears. This subtle yet impactful heel has graced the runways of Gucci and Givenchy, signaling a shift from towering platforms to more refined elegance. Whether adorning slingbacks or mules, micro heels exude versatility and sophistication, making them an indispensable addition to any wardrobe. At DOORS NYC, we recommend sophisticated yet playful shoes by Italian brand BENEDETTA BOROLI for those seeking to embrace this trend.

● Bright Whites

A crisp, white shoe is set to be the pinnacle of chic this summer. Designers like Chloé and Prada have showcased an array of white footwear, from sharp-toed pumps to robust loafers, highlighting that white is the new black in the fashion lexicon. Perfect for adding a fresh, clean touch to your outfit, white shoes make a bold statement while remaining timeless. DOORS NYC suggests the Coco Slides in white by BENEDETTA BOROLI or SCLARANDIS sandals, both epitomizing the elegance of Italian craftsmanship.
