Time To Hit Refresh On Your Footwear With Our Spring/Summer Shoe Update

Step into the new season

It’s that time of the year again where we’re finding ourselves slowly leaning back towards our linen shirts and slip dresses. But after a whole winter in lockdown, our shoe collection could definitely use a refresh. 

Whether you love to wear boots all-year-round or have been guilty of wearing sandals on the chilliest of days, the new spring/summer roundup is bound to have some chic options for you.

Here are the shoe trends we’re tipping to become staples this season.

Minimalist Sandals

It might sound like old news, but why mess with something that looks this good? These barely-there styles are perfect because of how seamlessly they take us from office, to beach, to drinks.

We’ve been strictly-neutrals in the shoe department for too long. Now we’re loving all things colours, particularly shoes in variants of oranges, greens, and bold metallics.
