August is the perfect time to make the most of everything your summer wardrobe has to offer. Whether you’re heading off on holiday, planning weekends in the sunshine or simply looking to refresh your everyday style, now is all about effortless dressing that feels comfortable, versatile and easy to wear.
As the season begins to shift, lightweight layers, breathable fabrics and neutral tones become the foundation of every outfit. Think linen, relaxed denim and soft cotton paired with women’s trainers and comfortable sandals that can take you from morning coffee to evening plans with ease.
This month, we’ve styled some of our favourite Gabor trainers and sandals to inspire easy late-summer outfits you’ll reach for again and again.
The West
If you’re looking for a trainer that works with almost everything in your wardrobe, the West is an easy choice. The soft lion/white suede offers a fresh alternative to a neutral trainer while remaining just as versatile, pairing beautifully with earthy shades, like green and rust colours. It strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and refined, making it ideal for everyday wear throughout August and beyond.
Designed with comfort at its core, the West features soft suede uppers, lasting leather lining and a durable TR sole finished with subtle side stripe detailing for added style. The retro low line silhouette and 2.5cm heel allows for an ideal everyday wear, while removable insoles offer a personalised fit that feels comfortable from morning through to evening.
We’ve styled the West with relaxed drawstring khaki denim denim and a boxy patterned blouse for an effortlessly put-together look. Finish with gold floral statement earrings to echo the floral detailed blouse and dress up a casual outfit.
The Yang
For the days when comfort comes first, Yang offers an effortless solution without sacrificing style. The rich blue nubuck is softer than classic black while remaining just as versatile, making it an easy choice for everyday wear as the seasons begin to change.
Crafted with soft nubuck leather uppers, microfibre lining and a durable TPU sole, Yang is designed for lasting comfort. The decorative buckle conceals an easy rip-tape fastening, while an elasticated gusset provides extra flexibility for a comfortable fit throughout the day.
To style Yang, we’ve embraced tonal dressing with a flowing navy blouse, allowing the blue nubuck to become part of the outfit rather than simply an accessory. Striped pink and red trousers introduce a playful contrast, while a matching navy headband and layered bracelets complete a look that’s relaxed, colourful and perfect for making the most of late summer.
The Embrace
Late summer calendars are often filled with occasions, and Embrace is the perfect sandal for dressing them with ease. Whether it’s a garden party, holiday dinner or family celebration, this elegant wedge brings together comfort and occasion wear in equal measure.
The champagne metallic leather catches the light beautifully, adding the right amount of shine while remaining easy to style with neutral and brighter tones alike. Leather linings, a lightweight PU sole and a supportive 7.5cm wedge provide all-day comfort without compromising on style.
One of our favourite details is the raffia-inspired buckle, which cleverly disguises the rip-tape fastening for a seamless finish while making the sandal easy to adjust throughout warmer days.
We’ve paired Embrace with crisp white linen shorts and a vibrant green blouse to reflect the fresh colour palette of the season. Finished with warm gold jewellery and a tan belt, it’s an effortlessly elegant outfit that works from daytime celebrations through to evening drinks.
The Novice
If your wardrobe leans towards soft neutrals with a pop of colour, Novice is the trainer to reach for. Combining leather and suede in a fresh mix of earthy green, pale yellow and warm neutral tones, it feels perfectly suited to late summer styling while transitioning effortlessly into the new season.
Beautifully considered details, including punched side panels and delicate scalloped trims, give this trainer a premium finish, while the leather lining, durable TR sole and removable insoles deliver the everyday comfort Gabor is known for. The wider fit ensures lasting wearability whether you’re exploring a new city, travelling or simply enjoying a busy weekend.
To complement the natural colour palette, we’ve paired Novice with relaxed blue denim and a nude button shirt that can be worn buttoned up as a top or over a basic white t-shirt as a lightweight jacket. The result feels effortless, comfortable and ready for everything from holiday sightseeing to lunch with friends. Complete the look with mixed metal jewellery to bring interest to the look.
However you’re spending August, the best outfits are the ones that feel effortless to wear. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe with a new pair of women’s trainers or searching for comfortable sandals that can take you from day to night, Gabor combines premium craftsmanship with everyday comfort.
