Summer Shoes

For Warmer weather, find Shoes that POP!

 Warm weather shoes shouldn’t be chunky or big or heavy.  They need to have a look of being light and airy, as well as feeling that way.  Unlike their fall and winter counterparts a shoe for warm weather needs to allow the elements in a bit. 

 So how does a shoe for the hotter months still have presence and make an addition to an ensemble? 

There are some basic design elements that really say spring and summer in a shoe.  It is all in the detail and color of the shoes. 

·         A Great statement shoe for the upcoming months has a pop of color and a detail like a flower or airy strap that says warmth. 

·         Wedges are a popular style for summer shoes, and for a higher heel the wedge is more supportive and comfortable. 

·         We are of course seeing many fun sandals with all sorts of treatments, from floral, to color blocking to lace.  The Gladiator styles are still very popular and is really the sandal influence right now. 

·         As far as color this season, pastels are fun, but bright citrus colors are great too this season.  For more toned down colors a light neutrals or skin tones gives the leg a very light long look which we love in warm weather.

·         Finding a professional shoe for a business look can be trickier in the spring and summer, but also should be fun.  While a business shoe cannot be a strappy sandal, or even open toed in many work environments, there are still business appropriate shoes that are lighter and more “spring like”.  Look for a simple pump with a classic silhouette, but with a detail of color.  If all your business attire is neutral, find a colorful pump to add a touch of spring color.
