When it comes to your shoe collection, it's often those go-with-anything styles that end up getting the most play. You know, those simple, sleek sandals, slides, and boots you reach for time and time again. And while you may already have a few go-to spots for sourcing these pared-down styles, if you're looking to branch out to different minimalist shoe brands to add to your carefully curated closet, well, you've come to the right place.
The selection of brands you'll find below not only serve up chic, understated shoes for the warmer months, but for every season of the year. So, that means you can plan on scooping up open-toed favorites to wear now, and score equally as stylish silhouettes for the cooler temperatures, too.
Ahead, see seven brands you should have on your radar for refined, minimal shoes that certainly don't skimp on style.
ATP ATELIER
Those familiar with ATP ATELIER were likely introduced to the brand through its popular "Rosa" sandal — a sleek, minimal flat slide that comes in a slew of colors. However, the brand has so much more to offer, including a range of heels and boots that'll have you covered when the fall weather arrives.
aeyde
Founded in 2015, this direct-to-consumer brand notes on its website that its "mission is to offer subtle, yet distinctive designs that integrate effortlessly into a modern wardrobe." And, it’s the details in aeyde's designs that make these simple styles stand out yet still pair well with pretty much any outfit you throw at them.
By Far
A brand that’s become a favorite for the fashion set as well as celebrities, By Far has continued to expand its offerings. So, while you may be familiar with several of its highly photographed styles already, know that there are so many other effortless silhouettes that — while less Instagrammed — are just as worthy of a spot in your closet.
Gray Matters
When you wear a Gray Matters shoe, you're undoubtably going to receive a “where’d you get that?” from friends and likely strangers, too. The brand’s styles have a way of blending clean designs with eye-catching, sculptural silhouettes that often incorporate pops of color in a modern, elevated way.
LOQ
Designed in Los Angeles and made in Spain, LOQ’s offering of shoes spans a wide range of silhouettes, from barely there sandals to everyday boots. But, no matter the style, each piece brings a new twist to classics you'll wear for years to come.
Martiniano
This Argentinian line of handmade shoes has a selection of easy-to-wear styles that you’ll be able to pair with everything from jeans to dresses.
NEOUS
Simple yet striking, NEOUS shoes bring a mix of unique shapes and bold color, while still maintaining a minimal design aesthetic.
