What shoes to wear this summer? Horoscope tells us Will a Leo prefer a ballerina a flip-flop? Is a cowboy boot or sneaker better for Capricorn?

Summer, as we all know, has a way of shaking even the most rock-solid certainties: who we are, where we’re going, and, most urgently, what shoes to wear when it’s 38 degrees, three spritzes in, and brainpower has officially checked out. While your mind is on holiday, your feet remain right there, unwitting protagonists of our summer style dramas. Enter the hero of the moment: the horoscope, more useful than a personal shopper auntie and more visionary than any TikTok trend. This year, the shoes of summer 2025 are chosen by your zodiac sign. Because every foot has a personality, and every personality deserves its own karmic shoe, ideally comfy, but also Instagram-worthy. Whether you’re a Leo roaring on a wedge or a Virgo demanding symmetry even in your laces, the stars have your perfect celestial footwear.

What shoes to wear this summer, according to your zodiac sign

Aries – Flip-Flops

Aries has no fear of standing out or stripping down. Philosophically, yes, but literally too. When the world slows down in summer, Aries speeds up. And they do it in the quickest shoes known to humankind: flip-flops. Forget those hot pink rubber ones from the local pool. Minimal in effort, maximal in vibe, Aries flip-flops are bold, structured, with chunky soles and metallic accents. Alaïa gave them heels, Miu Miu made them cool, The Row turned them into luxury accessories, and Havaianas cemented them as a summer must-have, perfect for city or seaside. Aries gravitates toward techy fabrics and sci-fi-inspired straps. We bet Coperni’s ultra-platform flip-flops are already on their wishlist.

Taurus – Clog Sandals

Taurus doesn’t fall for fleeting trends. They’re all about substance, even in sandals. That’s why this summer, their feet are craving just one thing: clog sandals. Chunky, comforting, as satisfying as a perfectly baked lasagna. With wooden soles and soft uppers that feel like a hug after a long week, these shoes channel slow fashion and true pleasure. For Taurus, every step is a ritual: it should sound good, have rhythm, and leave a mark. And with these shoes, it does, serving up countryside chic with a side of sunset cocktails. The perfect balance of rustic and refined, just like Taurus. Are they more into the boho-chic Chloé version or the laid-back take by Birkenstock?

Gemini – Sneakerinas

Gemini is the only sign capable of changing their mind five times before noon. Naturally multitasking, chaotically gifted, and charming by design. They can’t and won’t choose between ballet flats and sneakers. Enter: sneakerinas, a hybrid between the two that look straight out of an urban-core fantasy. With a runner’s sole and a sleek ballerina silhouette, these shoes are perfect for the zodiac’s most indecisive natives. Lightweight, hyper-flexible, futuristic with a nostalgic twist, they’re the very definition of “I want it all and I want it now.” They come in every style: glittery, metallic, satin, mint-milk, lemon-yellow. Whatever Gemini’s mood today, the sneakerina gets close. Or at least tries to.

Cancer - Jelly Shoes

For Cancer, summer is an emotional season. It’s measured in feelings, not degrees. And shoes? They need to strike deep chords, like that song that made you cry at twelve. That’s why jelly shoes, shiny, translucent, are back to seduce the most sentimental, moon-ruled sign of the zodiac. They’re ready to transport you back to childhood afternoons. Like they came out of an attic trunk, alongside a secret diary and Take That posters. But today they’re reborn: made from recycled materials, glittery, cherry-scented, and soaked in lost innocence. Cancer wears them with kitschy pride and irony. Each pair is a nostalgic dive into the past that still carries the present. Active nostalgia, not passive.

Leo - Statement Shoe

Leo doesn’t walk—they strut. Even at the pharmacy. For a sign whose secret goal is to be the cover of every Instagram story, there’s only one summer shoe: the statement shoe. Be it a massive wedge, an oversized buckle, or a bouquet of flowers glued to the toe, what matters is that it’s seen. Statement shoes are dramatic, theatrical, and larger-than-life, just like a diva who’s never heard of modesty. This summer, Leo wears shoes that speak before they do. Shoes that say everything without a single emoji. Shoes that are foot-bound works of art. And if someone dares say, “That’s a bit much,” know this: for Leo, “too much” is the only acceptable measure when the Sun is in their sign.

Virgo - Ballet Flats

Virgo finds beauty in order, in measured gestures, in folding socks into origami. And what’s more harmonious than a perfectly crafted ballet flat? Virgo chooses them because they speak of elegant efficiency. They prefer squared toes, peanut-butter-toned leather, and invisible stitching. No frills, just perfect lines. There’s precision, but also tenderness. A true wardrobe staple for those who know that beauty lies in the details. And that perfection isn't cold—it’s comfortable.

Libra - Toe Ring Sandals

Libra: lover of pure aesthetics, golden ratios, and symmetry that soothes. Their feet seek balance—without sacrificing pleasure. Enter the toe ring sandal: minimal yet sensual, refined with a hint of exotic flair. Toe ring sandals are for those who walk like they dance, who adore clean lines and surprising details. Every ring becomes a seal of elegance, a little totem of design. For Libra, these shoes represent harmony between body and soul, between vacation and city life, between style and ease. Perfect for merging Greek art and Coachella style: they're the sweet spot between East and Pinterest. Libra pairs them with neutral linen dresses, ultra-long necklaces, and an invitation to an art gallery.

Scorpio - Tabi Shoes

Tabis, with their iconic split toe, are perfect for Scorpio: divisive, conceptual, magnetic. Born in Japan but embraced by those who know the body is a medium of communication, these shoes aren’t for everyone. They can be an underground boot, a sharp ballet flat, or a postmodern Mary Jane. Scorpio chooses them because they always walk the line between revelation and secrecy. And Tabis, with that defining line that separates and connects, carry a secret code for the initiated. They split both foot and public opinion, just like Scorpio.

Sagittarius – Sleek Sneakers

Sagittarius dreams of the horizon even while brushing their teeth. They don't have time for complicated shoes or fleeting trends. Slim sneakers are their summer passport: easy to slip on, light as a thought, always ready to take off to an unknown destination. The best ones? Those that fold into a suitcase, breathe with your feet, and adapt to walking across a hanging bridge or a Berlin rooftop. Sagittarius walks like someone who's always searching for something. And these shoes are a reminder that the journey matters more than the destination.

Capricorn – Boat Shoes

For Capricorn, elegance isn’t a performance, it’s a discipline. That’s why they’re rediscovering the boat shoe, a symbol of old money style. But make no mistake: this summer’s version isn’t your classic yacht club cliché. The 2025 editions are deconstructed, crafted from recycled materials, featuring tailored details and flawless finishes. Ideal for those who want to express stability without showing off. Capricorns wear them with sharp-cut trousers, a linen suit or even jeans.

Aquarius – Mesh Ballet Flats

Aquarius lives in the future, predicts trends, and dresses like the present is a limitation. Mesh ballet flats are their ethereal declaration of belonging to another dimension. Breathable, almost invisible, tech-forward and conceptual: they’re perfect for those who like to float above convention. Aquarius pairs them with deconstructed jeans, asymmetric skirts, and anything else in their wardrobe. Because they love to play with expectations—being in and out of fashion at the same time.

Pisces – Fisherman Sandals

Pisces is fluid, eclectic, elusive, like sea foam. Fisherman sandals, originally made to conquer rocky shores and now reborn on the runway, are their ideal compromise between land and water, structure and softness. They offer protection while letting the feet breathe. With vintage lines and a contemporary soul, their leather cages, neutral tones and slightly bohemian vibe are perfect for those who get lost in thought while wandering through a market. They’re the kind of shoes that make you feel like you're on vacation even while standing in line at the post office. Pisces chooses them because, with these on, they feel like they’re on a permanent holiday, even on the ring road.
