Open-toe Sandals
Our pick: A day-to-night fashion staple, open-toe sandals are making their summer comeback. We've always loved an effortless wedge silhouette, and Journal is one of those timeless styles you'll find occasion to wear again and again. Besides, complete with Gabor's Best Fitting Technology too, the pair boast a superior fit with widened insoles and a larger tread area. Combining our two favourite things, style and comfort, Journal come complete with a T-bar design and decorative metallic detailing. What's not to love?
How to style: A stylish addition to both casual and dressy wear, Journal pairs perfectly with black trousers and a blouse for chic smart-casual moments. Depending on your office's dress code, of course, you may consider pairing Journal with your favourite work wardrobe staples to create a trendy summer look. Alternatively, pair with jeans and a blazer or a summer dress instead, and have your effortless day-to-dinner moment.
Top Tip: Match accessories to Journal's metallic detailing to create effortless put-together looks.
Slingback Stilettoes
Our pick: Slingback stilettoes are the evening shoe of the season and we couldn't be happier. Whether attending a wedding or a work event, the trend makes for easy and effortless styling, especially when you pick a pair made with comfort in mind. Our choice, Lindy court shoes, certainly prioritise a quality fitting with a soft leather lining. A modern take on a well-loved silhouette, Lindy pairs well with a range of casual and occasion wear. Sitting atop a chic slingback kitten heel, they're definitely a style worthy of trans-seasonal dressing.
How to style: Despite being a delicate style, this pair looks just as good with jeans as it does with evening dresses. Our trick? It's all in the styling. Regardless of whether you prefer the soft pink suede or limette colourway, colour matching your accesories to your shoes is always a great way to create a complementary look. You could also try adding similar and stronger shades of pink or green to create a monochromatic look.
Top Tip: Uniquely stylish, pink shoes go with almost everything. Find out how.
Slip-on loafers
Our pick: A timeless staple made for office-to-weekend transitions, the loafer style is, of course, one of or favourites. Remaining an obvious choice for summer dressing, the style is not only versatile but elegant too. Take Destiny loafers, for example, a beautifully crafted leather style in a slip-on silhouette. Of course it's a pair we're loving this season. Our favourite part? It comes with a soft elastic gusset too that keeps steps secure without compromising on style.
How to style: Destiny loafers come complete with a low heel and a metallic detailing over the instep. As a result, the style elevates casual looks, while also pairing well with evening attire. Destiny, therefore, pairs well with jeans, suits and dress. Loafers are, after all, a timeless smart-casual essential.
