The Summer Shoes Edit
Easy, elevated styles that carry you from errands to evenings out
When summer hits, my wardrobe gets lighter, simpler—and my shoes do a lot of the talking. This season’s edit is all about effortless polish: silhouettes that feel modern, refined, and wearable enough for real life. From woven textures and barely‑there sandals to sculptural heels that instantly elevate a look, these are the pairs on repeat right now.
Below, my current summer shoe lineup—each one earning its place for comfort, versatility, and style payoff.
Milos 25MM Crystal‑Embellished Leather Sandals
Saks Fifth Avenue
These are proof that a low heel doesn’t mean low impact. The crystal embellishment adds just enough glam while the 25mm heel keeps things comfortable and walkable.
Style them with:
A silky slip dress for summer weddings or events
Tailored trousers and a sleeveless blouse for date nights
Why I love them: A true day‑to‑night shoe that never feels overdone.
Devon Red Moiré Slingback Sandal
Loeffler Randall
If summer had a power color, it would be this shade of red. The moiré fabric adds texture and richness, while the slingback silhouette keeps it timeless.
Pair these with:
An all‑white outfit for maximum contrast
Denim and a simple tee when you want your shoes to do the work
Why I love them: Instant outfit energy—no extra styling required.
KAANAS Cora Sandals
Shopbop
Easy, minimal, and endlessly wearable. The Cora sandals are the kind you’ll grab without thinking—and somehow they still look cool every time.
Perfect for:
Travel days
Long walks
Casual summer uniforms (tank + trousers + sunglasses)
Why I love them: Comfortable, versatile, and quietly chic.
KAANAS Alayta Square‑Toe Naked Sandals
Shopbop
The square toe and barely‑there straps give these a clean, modern feel. They’re minimal in the best way and work with everything from dresses to denim.
Why I love them: They disappear on the foot but elevate the entire look.
KAANAS Amine Sandals
Shopbop
A slightly bolder take on the everyday sandal. The design feels artisanal but still polished—great when you want something interesting without going full statement.
Style tip: Pair with neutral outfits and let the texture shine.
Why I love them: A subtle standout that still feels effortless.
STAUD Sloane Heels
Shopbop
These are the heels you wear when you want to feel put together—even if the rest of your outfit is simple. Clean lines, a flattering heel, and that signature STAUD modernity.
Perfect with:
Tailored sets
Slip skirts
Minimal dresses
Why I love them: They instantly elevate without trying too hard.
Final Thoughts
