Summer trends with merino: smart styling for lightweight sneakers & slides
Summer, trends & merino: how it all comes together
This summer is all about lightness, natural materials and effortless looks that take you from a city break to the beach. This is where our merino highlights come into their own: they’re breathable, super-soft and look casually elegant. Whether minimalist silhouettes, gentle natural tones or clean structures – merino delivers comfort and style. We’ll show you how to wear this summer’s trends with ease, why merino is the perfect material for warm days, and how to create smart outfits in just a few steps that keep you feeling fresh and comfortable all day long.
Trends work best when they fit your everyday life. That’s exactly why Merino Wave, Wool Sneaker and Merino Slides harmonise so effortlessly with this season’s must-haves. The materials regulate temperature and moisture, feel wonderfully soft on the skin and make every step featherlight – going barefoot is a real treat. At the same time, the designs are timeless enough to impress next year too. You’ll get summer styles that can be as sporty as they are elegant: from city strolls to office appointments to evening dates. In short: looks that move with you – not the other way around.
When styling, go for airy fabrics, clean lines and deliberate accents. Pair the Merino Wave with wide-cut linen trousers or simple midi dresses for a modern, feminine touch; the light platform effect subtly elongates the leg. The Wool Sneaker matches perfectly with denim shorts, paperbag trousers or clean T-shirts – worn barefoot they underscore that fresh summer vibe. And the Merino Slides are your go-to for effortless elegance: whether with tailored shorts, a silk top or a kaftan. Play with contrasts, stick to a calm colour palette and let premium materials do the work – that’s how every look feels effortlessly current.
Wool Sneaker: Featherlight, barefoot-friendly, all day
Let’s start with the classic that rounds off any summer look with ease: the Wool Sneaker combines ultra-thin merino knit with a super-light EVA sole – so you’ll barely feel their weight when walking. Merino regulates temperature and moisture, is breathable and antibacterial – ideal for wearing barefoot. The removable merino insole provides reliable support while staying wonderfully soft, and after an active day you can simply pop the sneakers in the washing machine at 30 °C. Width F is optimal for slim to regular feet. A versatile quality sneaker that casually combines style, freshness and comfort.

Merino Slides: Summer feeling with a guaranteed fit
If you’re after lightness on your feet, slip into the Merino Slides and immediately feel the velvety-soft merino-cork sole. Continuously adjustable straps in soft openwork knit, an ergonomic cork midsole and a cushioned footbed with merino ensure a made-to-measure hold and an optimal foot climate. The robust, non-slip EVA sole gives them true street-shoe character – ready for office, holidays and everyday life. Elegant, shiny buckles and an upper fabric made from 100% recycled polyester add urban chic, while width G is perfect for regular feet. Just adjust, slip in, feel good – and enjoy summer step by step.

Merino Wave: Sporty chic with feel-good factor
And if you’re after sporty elegance, the Merino Wave is your upgrade for modern summer outfits. Inside, cuddly-soft merino jersey pampers your feet – pressure and sweat sensations are kept at bay.

Premium upper materials of merino wool and certified leather, suede cut-outs and a practical heel tab round off the comfort. Whether with jeans, a skirt or a dress: this sporty-elegant design elevates any look – comfortable, stylish and comfortable for hours in width G.
