Direct from Europe, Mikko Shoes’ spring/summer 2025 range introduces a reflective season that balances playful optimism and wistful sophistication. The collection embraces energising colour and tactile texture, with a fresh take on iconic shapes.
The charming sea-side inspired ‘Nautical Mood’ palette featuring cobalt, denim, navy and aqua evokes a penchant for a relaxed Mediterranean-inspired lifestyle, says founder Michaela Longstaff, while mood boosting, vibrant ‘Sunset Shades’ of rosy pink, fuchsia, red and orange offer escapism at its best.
This season’s neutral palette, ‘Retro Mid-tones’ draws inspiration from the sentimental imperfections of the 1970s. Hues of camel, olive, paprika, duck egg blue, sage, and leopard print are enriching and balanced – a welcome nod to the simplicity of life before the digital age.

In key silhouettes, Mikko sees a distinct trend in footwear drawing from iconic styles with comfort at their core; fisherman and buckle sandals, tennis sneakers, sports-inspired sandals, loafers and clogs. All shapes explored in their key trends of the season with chic modern updates.
The ‘Lady-like Elegance’ collection continues to be an important theme to elevate summer dressing. “This season there is a clear shift from minimalism to unique adornments and textural finishes. Floral trims, embroidery, buckles, tassels, raffia, mesh, lustrous metallic finishes and many more decorative textures are hand-crafted for pure admiration,” Michaela says.
Whatever your style, this spring/summer collection has been thoughtfully curated by Michaela, to bring joyful updates to daily dressing, all while pairing beautifully with your existing wardrobe.
