French Women Wear These 5 Shoe Trends, and They’re at Nordstrom

Simply put, fashion people in Paris are chic. Period. There’s a reason why we turn to this set for continuous style inspiration with that je ne sais quoi approach to dressing. I recently shared the elevated basics Parisians are wearing to look chic this spring and summer. Next up, I thought I’d round up the specific shoe trends I’m spotting on my favorite fashionable follows.

Below is the list (along with visuals) highlighting everything from a key flat shoe trend to the sandals du jour. Each shoe style is elevated and effortless (two words often used to describe French style). Yes, they’re certainly the key to completing a well-styled and modern, Parisian-inspired look. Oh, and I also found a range of options for all of these trends if you want to add any to your wardrobe.

Obviously, flip-flops made the list. Whether it’s a flat or heeled version, Parisians are styling them with skirts, shorts, trousers, skirts, dresses, and jeans (basically everything).

One of the most elegant shoe trends to emerge from the S/S26 collections, high-vamp heels (those with more coverage at the upper) are the polished choice for the season.

Yes, of course, low-profile or retro sneakers are in here as the must-have sneaker choice for many (including fashion people in Paris). Adidas, of course, is noteworthy.
