Suede sneakers and loafers: Trendy shoes for spring 2025

The wardrobe for spring 2025 should have several pairs of trendy shoes: rough lace-up boots with chunky soles for cool days, sneakers for sporty looks, classic loafers for business, and ballet flats for more feminine ones.
Ballet flats in mesh
Many of us adore shoes with flat soles or small stable heels, namely ballet flats. And if your wardrobe includes those made of genuine or artificial leather, you can look for a mesh model for the summer. It can be synthetic mesh, perforation, weaving, or lace. Mesh shoes have a stylish look and fit perfectly into a spring wardrobe when it is already quite warm outside. They can be worn with light and classic jeans.

Brown suede sneakers
Brown suede sneakers remain an absolute trend for spring 2025. Suede gives sneakers a more sophisticated and expensive look than regular leather or fabric. The brown color adds warmth to the look, while these sneakers can be easily combined with both casual clothes and more formal outfits. They can be worn with any jeans - from classic skinny to wide or flared.

Shoes with a miniature heel
The trends of 2025 include the kitten heel or, as it is also called, the Louis XIV heel. As a rule, such models have a low and stable heel (usually up to 5 cm). You can choose both ankle boots for a cool spring and open mules or flip-flops. Kitten heel shoes are ideal for creating both classic and more modern looks. These shoes go well with business suits, pencil skirts, and jeans.

Mary Jane shoes
This model of shoes came into fashion back in 2022 and has become firmly established in trends. Its main difference is a jumper strap with a buckle. The sole can be any: either a high platform and a thick heel, or a flat sole with a small heel (ballet flats).
Mary Jane shoes with metal elements are in trend. They add brutality and boldness to the look, but at the same time are suitable for creating a stylish ensemble. Combine these shoes with mom jeans or boyfriend jeans, and add a jacket or coat to emphasize the style.

Loafers
Loafers are the perfect footwear for spring, especially if you want to add a little elegance. Loafers can be worn with classic straight, skinny, or flared jeans, as well as with boyfriend jeans for a relaxed and stylish look. Or, for example, choose models with large buckles or in bright colors to add an interesting accent to the look.
