Whether we like it or not, summer is here, which means it's time to retire those cosy house slips and trade them for footwear that can turn heads. One of the best parts of summer attire is experimenting with playful silhouettes, funky textures, and vibrant colours and prints. This is the perfect time to go all-out with your wardrobe, and your footwear choices should be no different.
So, invest in some of these staple footwear options, and you’ll be prepared for any occasion from garden parties and alfresco dinners to long walks and business meetings.
1. Pink Textured Sliders
Dainty, delicate and perfect for your pretty feet, these textured sliders are what we plan to spend our summer in. Made of high-quality breathable fabric, this pair would complement your fusion and ethnic outfits. We especially love the broad strap design, with pretty embellished details peeking out in vibrant shades of pink, aqua and lime. The solid sole and open-toe construction also translate to comfortable and easy wear for long hours!
