The first thing everyone thinks of when the weather picks up is fashion; what’s on trend? What can I pull off? More importantly, how long will the sun stay for!? Whilst there is a lot on how to dress for summer, no one picks up on the fact that we need to buy new shoes when the snow and rain has gone!

It’s a fact that most women love shoes, so what do you do when the summer is looming and you have the perfect dress, but no shoes? Will it be sling-backs, espadrilles, high heels or sandals? The possibilities may seem endless, but here are the top five shoes that will carry you through the summer months.

Concealed Platform Heels

Concealed platforms are the perfect way to wear a higher heel, without putting too much pressure on your feet. Choosing a bright, patterned colour will jazz up any outfit and show off your pins.

Wedge Sandals

Wedges are the ideal summer shoe as they are practical and comfortable so are wearable both day and night. As they are so versatile you can cut down on your baggage allowance when travelling abroad!

The Plastic Flip Flop

Plastic shoes are NOT just for kids and this is evident in the amazing array of plastic flip flops on offer at the moment. They come in all colours and designs; from fun to classy and are perfect for walks along the beach as well as garden party shenanigans. Who doesn’t love a good wipe clean shoe?

Slip On Loafer

Practically perfect in every way, the loafer is a wardrobe staple. Comfortable and durable they go perfectly with dresses or trousers and come in lots of fashionable colours and styles to suit everyone.

Lace-up Pump

Colourful lace-up pumps are ideal for the summer months as they are pretty, feminine and go with nearly all your clothing choices from a floral tea dress to jeans and a t-shirt. There are also plenty on the market at the moment that incorporate the colours of the Union Jack – perfect for the Jubilee!
