BOTTEGA VENETA INTRECCIATO LIDO SANDALS
Bottea Veneta – Lido Intrecciato-woven leather sandals

Bottega Veneta Lido sandals

As with the majority of Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta shoes and accessories, the Lido practically gained cult status the second it hit the Resort 2020 catwalk. And it’s not hard to see why: cast in the signature Intrecciato weave (in a gorgeous padded iteration), Daniel Lee’s trademark square-toe silhouette and a bold ocean-blue shade, they practically scream summer.

ROSETTA GETTY X ECCO CLOGS
Rosetta Getty x ECCO – open-toe leather clogs

Rosetta Getty x ECCO clogs

Thanks to this season’s obsession with all things 1970s, classic clogs are making a comeback. Rosetta Getty and Danish brand ECCO have collaborated on a collection that not only boasts a welcome dose of nostalgia (minus the wooden soles) but also some serious eco-credentials, courtesy of ECCO’s eco-friendly processes and water-saving technology. Win-win.

Christian Louboutin – crystal pumps (coming soon)

Christian Louboutin crystal pumps

Combining a slender, understated silhouette with a delicate crystal-encrusted bow, you can always trust Christian Louboutin to deliver on the sparkle front. Elegant and flattering, they’re ideal for dancing the night away – even if that's solo dancing in your bedroom.

Nicholas Kirkwood – fuchsia sandals

Nicholas Kirkwood heels

Is it a sculpture? Is it a work of art? Nicholas Kirkwood’s heels are made to show off – whether that's on a gallery plinth (or your shoe shelf). The architectural Perspex heel and pop of bold colour in a sea(son) of clean shapes and a (mostly) neutral palette feel instantly refreshing – not to mention perfect for injecting a welcome hit of playfulness to your wardrobe.

This summer, we've bought a host of brilliant, statement styles. On my wish list? NEOUS’ Rossi in white – I love the kitten heel.

Balenciaga woven sandals

OK, we’re calling it: if there’s one style you’re guaranteed to invest in this season, it’s the heeled flip-flop. The perfect mix of street and smart (it is Balenciaga, after all), the sleek thong and white logo print, square toe (noticing a trend here?) and sculptural block heel are ideal for giving classic silhouettes some added clout.

MARNI FUSSBETT LEATHER SANDALS
Marni – Fussbett leather sandals

Marni Fussbett sandals

When it comes to easy, runaround shoes, we say, swap last season’s hiking sandals for this sleek-yet-functional style by Marni. The comfy wide double straps and padded lining, as well as versatile neutral palette, mean they won’t leave your feet until winter. They also look surprisingly good with socks.

 

Veja – Campo leather trainers

Veja Campo trainers

You could barely step foot outside last summer without spotting cult, sustainable trainer brand Veja. Fast-forward six months and the French footwear brand is going nowhere (thankfully), but the newest colourways – namely this crisp-white, blue and green pair – are encouraging us to look at them afresh this season.

Maison Margiela – Tabi logo leather clogs
