6 Summer Shoes You Actually Need in Your Wardrobe

We don't know about you, but we're glad that the sunshine is finally here. For too long, we've found ourselves drooling over the dainty styles we've seen cropping up in new-in sections and subsequently thinking about the potential pedicure colours to match. So we're happy we can finally shop for Wholesale Replica Bag summer shoes. Of course, there's always statement footwear to be had, but what we're most interested in are the pairs that we'll get the most wear out of for years to come—and 2019 has plenty of those to offer.

With warm weather comes sandals, and there are three iterations to note. One is somewhat practical. The other? Incredibly versatile. And the last? The ideal heel height for all-day weddings. If heels are your thing, then turn your attention to timeless espadrilles, which are an integral part of any influencer's summer attire. As for trainers, we bring you a refined style that'll look just as good with dresses and skirts as it will work trousers and shorts. All you need to do now is keep scrolling to discover the summer shoes 2019 has in store.

"Floss" heels is a term we coined to describe heeled sandals with straps so thin and minimal they're akin to dental floss. The obsession started back in late 2018 thanks to The Row's Bare Leather Strappy Sandals, with Prada's multi-strap stilettos coming in a close second in the designer stakes. Look for mid-heel styles you can last an all-day wedding in.

Slingbacks are one of the most elegant shoes you can own which is great because they make for the perfect office shoes. If sandals are too informal for your workplace, the open-back will keep your feet cool in higher temps, while the closed-toe mains a professional air.
