There are plenty of different styles of boots that will work with all of your summer outfits — from sundresses, to skirts, to denim shorts. So, before you pack away your boots and start shopping online for scrappy, open-toed sandals, take a look at this list of summer-worthy booties that are sure to help you step up your shoe game this season.
Metallic
These metallic booties will add some shine to any summer look. Try wearing them with a denim skirt and a black top for a night out.
White
A simple pair of white booties will go with anything. Pair them with a mini dress for a classic look.
Pop of Color
A pop of pink will brighten up any outfit and catch everyone’s eye. Wear these during the day — or for a night out — to add some color to your summer outfit.
Punk Vibe
If you’re going for an edgier summer look, these boots will definitely bring all the punk vibes. Try pairing these with distressed denim shorts and a vintage band tee.
Cutout
The cutouts put a fun twist on these black, lace-up combat boots. Plus, they’ll let your feet breathe on those hot summer days.
Snakeskin
These snakeskin booties are an easy way to add a pattern to a boring summer outfit. Pair these with a white sundress, white denim shorts or a skirt to take your outfit to the next level.
Western
Cowgirl boots aren’t just for the rodeo. These boots are a fun way to add some western flare to your summer looks. Wear these with denim shorts or a denim skirt for ultimate cowgirl vibes.
Biker
If you’re in the mood for buckles and studs, these chunky biker boots are what you need. Wear these with distressed denim shorts and a leather jacket at night to bring out your inner biker girl.
Mules
Okay, so technically mules aren’t boots, but they’re close enough. The open back makes them breathable in summer weather. If you’re not quite feeling a pair of boots, these closed-toe mules are the perfect way to cheat. Mules will go with any summer outfit — from mini dresses, to maxi dresses, to ankle jeans, to denim shorts, to skirts…the possibilities are endless.
