Summer footwear
Summer time! The summer season is from June 21 to September 21. When we think of summer we think of relaxing in the sun, watermelon and peaches, lemonade, barbecues and picnics, and long days of sizzling temperatures. 🍉 A time of the warmest weather and the tiniest clothes, summer may also be the easiest time to dress of the whole year! That’s because you don’t need to layer or wear much for the most part. The heat really is made more bearable with the correct clothing which makes you feel lighter and more breezy. Read on for the best footwear for your summer wardrobe. These are the top styles we recommend but you may or may not want to include all of them in your wardrobe. Use what best suits you and your unique style!

Flat leather sandals:
One of the most useful things in summer is a good pair of flat leather sandals! These are simple shoes you’ll find yourself throwing on constantly through the hot months. Have at least one pair in a neutral color like beige or cognac because being similar to your skin tone makes them the ultimate neutral shade! That means they’ll go with virtually all your summer outfits. You are likely to wear them so much through the season that you will need to replace them the following year.

The best colors for this style of footwear is a great evening-appropriate neutral like black, or a pretty, fun color like bright pink. These heeled sandals really elongate the legs visually which makes them super flattering! They also have the added advantage of keeping your feet cool in scorching temps.
