The Early May Bank Holiday arrives with a distinct sense of excitement. It’s a time for spontaneity, whether that’s an impromptu brunch, a countryside escape, or simply a moment to slow down and reset. It also marks the perfect opportunity to reintroduce colour into your wardrobe.
The Gabor spring collection captures this seasonal transition through a thoughtful palette. While neutrals remain a staple, spring invites something softer and more expressive. This season, we’re focusing on four standout shades: sunshine yellow, warm brown, confident red and timeless navy. Each offers a different mood, proving that colour can feel both elevated and entirely wearable.
Introducing colour does not need to feel complicated. Focusing on one tone and subtly echoing it throughout your outfit creates a sense of balance and intention. Below, discover our curated styles for the long weekend approaching, designed for effortless dressing, wherever your plans may take you.
Prepare in style with Gabor!
Sunshine Yellow
If one style could embody the optimism of spring, it would be the Everly sandal. Designed for ease, these refined mule slip-ons are effortless, ideal for relaxed, sun-filled days. Crafted from soft suede, it offers a polished yet understated finish that feels perfectly in tune with the season.
Inside, a smooth nubuck leather lining provides gentle cushioning, while a discreet elastic gusset allows the sandal to move naturally with the foot. A durable TPR sole ensures dependable grip, and a subtle 3.5cm lift adds enough height for both daytime plans and more elevated moments. The tan circular beaded buckle adds a considered focal point, with a concealed rip-tape for adjusted fit and a slip-on fastening for ease to maintain a clean, uninterrupted silhouette.
For styling, let the yellow sandal shine by pairing it with a flowing floral dress, ideally with soft pastels or hints of yellow to harmonise with the shoe’s vibrant tone. Lightweight fabrics like chiffon or cotton add movement and keep the look fresh and airy, while small touches, such as gold jewellery, can echo the sandal’s colour. The Everly also pairs effortlessly with relaxed denim or softly tailored trousers for a more casual, versatile option.
Warm Brown
For a softer, more grounded take on spring dressing, the Sadie sandal introduces warmth with quiet sophistication. Its open-toe design features mixed leather straps in rich brown tones, accented with subtle gold hardware for a refined finish. The palette feels naturally suited to spring, offering an easy transition into summer styling.
A soft microfibre lining enhances comfort, while a flexible PU sole with a ribbed base ensures stability throughout the day. The 5cm wedge is finished with a layered, wood-effect sole, adding depth and texture. A delicate ankle strap completes the silhouette, offering both support and a flattering frame to the foot.
We’ve styled Sadie with a satin midi skirt in complementary tones and a soft blush blouse for contrast. The fluidity of the skirt pairs beautifully with the gentle wedge, while gold jewellery mirrors the sandal’s hardware for a cohesive finish.
Confident Red
For those drawn to a bolder statement, the Andre sandal offers a striking yet considered approach to colour.
Rendered in rich red, the chilli suede shade brings vibrancy without overwhelming the outfit. A tortoiseshell-effect buckle introduces a modern accent, while the overall silhouette remains clean and wearable. The leather-lined interior provides comfort and support, complemented by a lightweight polyurethane sole designed for ease of movement. A discreet fastening ensures adjustability without disrupting the design, while a 4.5cm platform sole adds subtle height with a contemporary edge.
If red feels like a step beyond your usual palette, balance is key. Pair the Andre with crisp whites, soft denim or classic black for a fresh, composed look. We’ve styled it with a structured denim shirt and tailored white trousers, allowing the sandal to remain the focal point. A small matching accessory can help tie the look together with ease.
Timeless Navy
The Monica wedge sandal offers a refined balance of comfort and seasonal style.
Crafted with a soft suede upper and lined with smooth microfibre, it delivers a secure yet lightweight feel. The espadrille-inspired sole introduces texture, while the 6.5cm wedge heel is balanced by a platform base, ensuring comfort with every step. The Monica in the dark blue suede tone enhances its versatility, making it an effortless addition to a spring wardrobe.
Styled here with a blue gingham midi dress, the look feels relaxed yet considered. Layering with a lightweight shirt adds dimension, perfect for a light layer in spring.
