Style: Stylish alternatives to the sandal

When it comes to summer footwear, it’s all about staying cool and comfy while looking stylish. While our flip-flops and sandals are a great go-to, sometimes they are either simply not practical, or we just want to change things up a bit. Here are our top three alternatives.

1. Espadrilles

These are a great alternative when you need a little extra coverage for your feet. Made of cloth, they are light enough to give comfort during those summer days, and they work well with everything from jeans to sundresses and shorts.

2. Wicker pumps

A wicker pump offers comfort and much-needed ventilation on those hot, sticky days! The best thing about these babies is that they are neutral enough to complement any outfit, style and colour.

3. Sliders

There is a reason why Birkenstocks are considered a summer classic – not only are they incredibly comfortable, but they are also effortlessly chic. From leather to plastic, classic black to metallic; a pair of sliders will add a quirky twist to a plain maxi dress or any leggings-and-T-shirt outfit.
