In the modern world fashions change very
quickly and styles come and go extremely rapidly. It feels like you buy one item
and it’s out of fashion by the time you get it home. On the other hand, footwear
seems to be more resilient to the changing fashion tides with many styles
remaining, stylish and iconic throughout the decades.
Here’s a run down of summer shoes that have
stood the test of time and trodden the fashion path decade after decade:
Flip
flops
Those in the know are well aware of just
how cool and versatile
a pair of flip flops can be. Wear them at the beach, around town or to the
hippest cocktail bar in town. They’re perfect for those who like the freedom of
something that’s both comfortable to walk in and great for turning heads when
paired with a miniskirt, a maxi dress or a pair of hot pants. If there’s one
essential piece of footwear to sum up summer style, flip flops would be it.
Wedge
heels
For a look that’s edgy, modern, and classic
go for a pair of wedge heels. Glamorous whatever the occasion, they look great
with anything from long dresses to skinny jeans. There are several styles
available, from floral patterns to blue plastic and traditional leather, you’re
sure to find something that’s a welcome addition to your wardrobe and able to
turn even your most worn outfits into something that feels fresh and new.
Ballet
shoes
Ballet shoes and plimsolls have remained a
firm fixture with fashion houses for the last five years. They are great for
dressing down an evening outfit for the daytime.
Ballet shoes are equally good at putting
the finishing touches to an outfit that feels like it needs spicing up. The best
thing about ballet shoes is that they’re inexpensive, meaning that you can purchase
a few different pairs and experiment with a variety of colours.
Mules
Mules have experienced something of a
renaissance in the last few years. Often overlooked, a pair of mules can switch
a daytime dress into party mode in no time at all. With clean lines and elegant
styling, mules can help you get a classic French Riviera look in an
instant.
