Summer means out with the heavy, bulky items in your wardrobe, and an overdue swap to those lighter, comfortable styles for those warm evenings.
Not only does this apply to your clothing, it also applies to your footwear collection, and now with the warmer weather it's definitely time to make the swap to some breezy styles that will keep you looking chic for the Summer months.
Here are 5 styles you need in your shoe collection for Summer...
1. Espadrilles
Defined by their canvas upper and typically have a natural, woven-type of heel, espadrilles can be high heels or flats and are the iconic Summer shoe.
Originating as peasant footwear, they were popularized in the 1970's by Yves Saint Laurent and have only grown in popularity since then!
Whether you're looking for a bit of height, or for a flat style for maximum comfort, you have plenty options from our footwear department.
Every year we get a number of gorgeous styles, including the iconic, yearly delivery from Tommy Hilfiger, plus options from Xti, Michael Kors and Paez.
2. Sliders/Flip Flops
Sliders and flip flops are the perfect pair of footwear for hot Summers' days. Defined by thin or thick straps around the top of the foot, and a backless design, they are great to slip in and out of when you're on the go or opting for a really laid back look.
The ultimate 'holiday mode' shoe, these comfortable options are all from Tommy Hilfiger who have your holiday shoedrobe sorted - from lounging at the pool to walking on the beach, these are the shoe of the Summer.
3. Block Heels
Gone are the days of teetering on a tiny stiletto heel, and say hello to comfort and style in the form of these gorgeous block heels.
Perfect for an evening stroll or to relax in the garden, these styles are the perfect combination of sophistication and comfort.
These gorgeous styles we've selected are from Amy Huberman, Lunar, Hispanitas and Tamaris, but this is just a small range of the selection we have in stock. There are oodles of styles and colours to choose from, each with some unique embellishments and designs that will really make your outfit pop.
4. Summer Boots
Some people think boots are simply for the Autumn/Winter Season, but we have to disagree with that! Summer boots are a great alternative during the warmer months to re-style your favourite outfit in a fresh way - be it a flowery dress or a cute pair of denim shorts.
These beautiful styles are from Kate Appleby, Xti and Una Healy, and there are lots more options available to try online. Perfect to wear day or night, these styles will compliment a whole host of outfits, so why not give them a try?
5. Strappy Sandals
Sandals are an open-toed footwear option that is sure to keep your feet cool while also being supportive (more so than sliders or flip-flops). They are usually designed with various colours and crisscross straps which creates a unique look on the foot.
The styles we've selected are from Strive, Lunar, Xti & Gabor - each a unique colour and style - with endless options to choose from these are an absolute must in your wardrobe!
So there you have it, our top 5 styles to add to your Summer Shoedrobe rotation - which is your favourite style?
