Hey Everybody,
I don't know about you but the recent change in weather is panicking me as I suddenly realised 'I don't have my summer wardrobe ready!' More important than that, i haven't got a sandal to my name. Those of you who know me , know I'm an ankle boot kinda gal and I love a bit of platform. Ideal for winter, not so much for summer.
So, I scoured the net and lusted over about 100 pairs til I finally found , in my opinion the ultimate summer shoes and there's something in there for everybody :)
1) The Gladiator sandal.
It makes it's glorious return and knows no bounds, channel your inner Russell Crowe. I'd team these fab Topshop ones with a denim skirt and a loose tee for a relaxed summer feel.
2) The Seventies wedge.
Since the 70's has made a triumphant return, i felt it only right to throw a 70's wedge into the mix. Wedges are surprisingly comfy and are a very easy way to instantly lengthen your legs as well as looking summery and stylish. Win win. I love this Topshop pair. Wear with flares if you're brave enough ;)
Lets face it, love her loathe her, we have Kimmy K to thank for the soar in popularity with these heels. Every girl (girly or not) should own a pair of. Dress them up with a pencil skirt/dress or down with a pair of ripped jeans. And just cause it's summer , these blue Zara pair are a perfect alternative to black.
Due to their massive comeback, look to these when choosing your summer sneaker. Their popularity continues, with people wearing them with all different types of outfits. They're a comfy yet stylish alternative to a shoe and the white colourway keeps them looking summery. Wear with light tailored trousers or a simple over sized tshirt dress with white socks.
5) The Metallic Brogue.
I'm a sucker for a brogue and these ones are my current faves. The platform sole and the colour makes them dressier than an average black and gives some length to your legs. Team these Zara Beauts with a pair of culottes and a crisp white shirt for a minimal summer feel.
6) The Peep Toe Platform.
If you're into a slightly grungier style and find it hard to find a shoe that is a bit less girly to team with your look, look no further than these beauty's from Public Desire. Wear them with anything and everything to give your look a bit of edge.
7)The Platform Slider.
Remember the confusion that swept the nation last summer when Birkenstocks actually became cool to wear? Well that craze hasn't gone away just yet, and with so many high street retailers offering nicer alternatives it makes them so easy to wear. These Public Desire pair are perfect for summer holidays and the poolside.
