Heat Meets Sweet: 10 Coral-Infused Shoes for Summer

When I think of summer styles, my mind always goes to rich tones of coral, cool turquoise, and sunny yellow. And I’m not the only one who tends to lean toward these colors.

While browsing some of the summery selections at some of my favorite shoe retailers today, I discovered 10 fabulous coral-infused shoe styles. Each pair of these heels would be ideal for adding a pop of color to basics like jeans and a white tank but would work with casual dresses and printed shorts as well.

Another plus to wearing bright shades of orange and coral is that they work with almost any skin tone. In fact, some shades will make you look quite tan and glowing. I also love the look of coral and turquoise paired together. You could wear these heels with a little turquoise frock and add some neutral accessories for a bright and summer-ready ensemble.
