Pedi-Perfect: The Best Shoes to Show Off a Summer Pedicure
Summer is the season of sun-kissed skin, fresh nail colours and shoes that let your toes breathe. If you’re booking your next pedicure or painting your nails at home, choosing the right pair of shoes can make your polish pop even more. From soft neutrals to bold brights, here’s how to match your pedicure to the perfect summer shoe.
One of the most timeless combinations is a white pedicure paired with neutral sandals. Crisp white toes make your skin look more bronzed and instantly clean, while tan leather slides, raffia sandals or nude mules create that effortless, natural summer aesthetic. This duo is simple, minimal and works beautifully with linen outfits, denim shorts and easy weekend styling.

If you’re someone who loves wearing colourful shoes, pairing them with soft pink nails is an easy way to keep the look balanced. Bright heels in hot pink, orange or sky blue pop even more when worn with a sheer blush or ballet pink polish. It keeps everything fresh and playful without feeling overdone, making it perfect for brunches, long lunches and holiday wardrobes.

Metallic sandals are another summer favourite, and they pair beautifully with warm-toned nail shades like peach or coral. Champagne, gold or rose-gold shoes can sometimes look overly dressy, but when you add a soft peach pedicure, they feel relaxed, beachy and sunset-ready. This combo is ideal for garden parties, summer nights out or anything involving bubbles and a view.

For pastel lovers, matching pastel shoes with pastel nails creates the dreamiest gelato-inspired aesthetic. Lilac heels with soft lavender toes, baby blue sandals with mint polish or lemon sandals with pale pistachio nails — it’s soft, feminine and screams summer. This is the kind of colour story that looks perfect in sunshine and photographs beautifully.

If your wardrobe leans more classic, black sandals paired with a glossy nude pedicure are a match made in minimalist heaven. Nude polish elongates the toes and softens the contrast of darker shoes. Shades like sandy beige, warm caramel or sheer peachy-nude make black leather sandals feel chic rather than harsh, and they work with everything from wide-leg pants to slip dresses.

No matter the colour, the best accessory to any sandal is smooth skin and hydrated toes. A little heel balm, cuticle oil and SPF on the tops of your feet can make any shoe look and feel more luxurious. Toe rings and anklets are optional, confidence is not.
