Whether you’re planning a beach getaway, a casual brunch, or a night out, there’s a perfect pair of shoes waiting for you.

1. Espadrilles

It is the rope sole that is the defining characteristic of an Espadrille, and you will find them in many different styles. Espadrilles are a summer staple that never goes out of style. These lightweight, comfortable shoes are perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your casual outfits.

  • Style Tip: Pair them with a flowy sundress or high-waisted shorts for a chic and effortless look.

2. Platform Sandals

Platform sandals have a thick, uniform sole that extends the length of the shoe without a separation between the sole and the heel of the shoe. They provide the height you crave without compromising on comfort.

  • Style Tip: Wear them with wide-leg pants or a maxi skirt to balance out the look.

3. Strappy Heels

A strappy sandal is defined by multiple straps that cross over the top of the foot and or the ankle. They are decidedly feminine and are perfect for dressing up any summer outfit. Their delicate design adds a touch of sophistication.
