I thought it would be a good idea to create a post celebrating the beautiful summer shoes that one can find online and on the high street at the moment. I feel like women often wrongly presume that it is better to invest in winter boots and accessories, especially here in England as our Summer months are limited in comparison to our plenteous months of winter weather. Whilst this is partly true and often our footwear choices in summer can be neglected and ignored, I have found a handful of beautiful sandals worth investing in for the spring and summer months that I know you will thank me for. I guess the key to summer sandals and shoes is versatility, you want a pair that you can wear with shorts and jeans but also dresses and skirts which is why I've selected a very muted nude/neutral colour palette that will undoubtably go with everything.
As always there are trends inspired from the catwalks that run through our high street lines of footwear and this season it's all about the simplistic and minimalistic Scandinavian inspired 'pool slider'. The idea behind the pool slider is that of course it can be worn on holiday by the pool but thrown together with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a relaxed oversized white shirt you have the perfectly effortless 'summer in the city' vibe nailed. On this same wavelength of the Scandinavian inspired look, the Mule comes in to play. It is again very reminiscent of the minimalist look with the sharp lines and cuts and can be styled very similarly to the pool slider but has the added bonus of looking perfectly preppy with a ditsy summer dress or playsuit.
A trend that is certainly making itself prominent this season is the lace up shoe, weather it be a lace up heeled sandal suitable more so for going out, or the classic gladiator inspired flat lace up sandal that can be worn with endless casual outfits. On the more high-end spectrum it is always an idea to invest in a pair of statement chunky heeled sandals especially this season with the 70's trend being celebrated in all its glory. They can be beautiful with a pair of denim cut off's and a long flowing kimono but also with a an elegant black jumpsuit for the evening.
The pointed flat slingback is probably the most practical of all the shoes. The pointed toe is something that we have seen emerging throughout autumn/winter but is being glorified in a big way this spring season. I adore pointed flats because they are truly sophisticated and extremely sassy- they can immediately give an outfit that chic edge, especially in these neutral tones.
I'd advise not being hesitant in trying out a new style of shoe like the mule for example as all the shoes listed above aim to encapsulate that classic spring/summer zest that we should all be injecting into our wardrobe. As always let me know what you think!
