Which shoe trend to try this summer is a conundrum plenty of us at the ELLE UK office are navigating.

'Am I a boat or a mesh shoe wearer?', 'Would a wedge or flip flop heel be more "me"?' and, 'Do I dare don toe-separating shoes?' - these are just some of the questions we've been positing each other, largely in vain. To answer them, we're turning our attention from our navels to the stars. That's right, we're looking to our horoscopes to help inspire our summer 2025 footwear and we think you should too.

While you should, of course, try any trend that speaks to you, why not take a steer on your purchases according to your zodiac sign? For the believers in the crowd what better tool to bring out your truly personal style? And for the non-believers, no harm, no foul.

Here Are The Summer 2025 Shoe Styles To Try, According To Your Horoscope

For The Aquarius...Toe Shoes

What better shoe style could you consider for the truly visionary Aquarians than some toe-separating shoes?

This marmite style is really made for a star sign intent on forever leading the pack (think Harry Styles and Alicia Keys), plus, their ergonomic credentials make sense for such an intellectual and open-minded crew.

We love Vibram's Fivefinger styles that look too cool with midi dresses and vest tops.

For The Pisces...Boats Shoes

As the most adaptable of the water signs it figures that Piscians should try a shoe meant for nautical pursuits, but enjoyed on terra firma's front row.

Thanks to Piscians' creativity, they are likely style stars, the most famous being one of the world's best dressed, Rihanna. And we know the best dressed out there are wearing boat shoes aplenty.

We're wearing our Miu Miu deck shoes with oversized denim and teeny, tiny shorts.

For The Aries...Kitten-Heeled Flip Flops

Self-confident Aries women can pull off one of this season's trickiest trends: the heeled flip-flop.

Pairing particularly well with the similarly divisive capris pant, the Y2K heels demand an ever present pedicure - ideal for the perfectionist Aries.

The high street is thankfully awash with takes on the trend, and Zara have both brown and black iterations for an Aries to be a boss in.

For The Taurus...Bungee Cord Sandals

The adventurous and beauty-craving Taureans should consider bungee cord sandals. Reliable and comfort-focused is how you could describe both these strappy sandals and a Taurus woman - think Gigi Hadid.

Miu Miu, of course, is the originator of this style, that work as well on the beach with board shorts and a T-shirt, as they do with a silk slip maxi dress.

For The Gemini...Sneakerinas

The multifaceted Gemini woman are nothing if not sneakerinas personified. Geminis should bring their adaptable, outgoing and flexible nature to their shoedrobe and try the hybrid style.

Our favourite iterations of the ballet trainer hybrid have to be the Puma Speedcat ballet trainers and the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 TGRS with mini dresses and cargo style trousers for maximum cuteness.

For The Cancer...Clogs

Classic homebodies with a nurturing and traditional nature, Cancerians should be all about the clog for the summer of 2025 (and beyond). You can imagine one of our favourite Cancers, Pamela Anderson, pottering around her garden in some clogs, or even taking them front row too.

With everyone from Prada to Penelope Chilvers selling a pair this season, the only question is if you wear with socks or without (we say both).

For The Leo...Wedge Heels

Forever the lead character, Leos deserve nothing less than the glamorous wedge sandal. Recently repopularised by Chloé, there's something about wedge sandals that scream self-confidence and risk-taking - two of the Leo woman's strongest assets.

You could dress down your wedge sandals with denim, but we think a Leo woman would go all out in Boho beauty.

For The Virgo...Ballet Flats

With the care and attention delicate, pretty, professional and classic ballet shoes need, there's no star sign better suited than Virgos. The perfectionism in Virgos (Beyoncé is a Virgo) will keep ballet flats polished, while their creative side will keep from styling them too primly with some vintage denim and a beat up Birkin.

While Chanel ballets flats are, of course, the Holy Grail, we're partial to Mansur Gavriel's styles too.

For The Libra...Jelly Sandals

Known for their great sense of humour, Libras should try pair of cheeky and youthful jelly sandals. Jelly sandals' nostalgic vibe are perfect for Libras' charming and romantic nature, with just enough quirk to pull off this off-kilter style.

We love Loeffler Randall's Ryhs design, which are bejewelled and look particularly adorable with ankle socks and a midi dress.

For The Scorpio...Tabis

Intense and magnetic Scorpios have no better footwear match then Tabi shoes. Be it in boot, ballet, Mary-Jane or loafer styles, the weird and wonderful split-toe Tabis offer the same level of mystery the Scorpio does herself.

Margiela has the most iconic offerings, but Tabis styles exist outside of the label's realm. Try pairing with suiting for work to bring your witchy side to all parts of your life.

For The Sagittarius...Mesh Flats

If Miley Cyrus, Zoë Kravitz and Janelle Monáe - all famous Sagittarius women - were a shoe, they would likely be mesh flats. Beloved for their free-spirited and adventurous ethos, Sagittarians can handle the daring naked-but-not shoe trend.

Best worn with floor-grazing trousers, Dear Frances and The Row have the mesh flats we've got on our wishlists.

For The Capricorn...Skinny Trainers

A Capricorn will take you places, as will a pair of perfectly sculpted skinny trainers. Supportive and realistic, this star sign is best represented by the reigning trainer style of this season - with one eye on style and the other on practicality.

Skinny trainers are everywhere, with our favourite styles coming from Puma, Nike and Dries Van Noten. Pair with shorts for maximum get up and go.
