Every well heeled woman knows that whatever your budget, whatever your outfit if you perfect the shoe, you perfect your style. Yet when the weather turns sunny, too often we slip into those lazy women’s sandals, the flip flops. Ladies, we can do better than this. Yes, flip flops have their place but don’t let them become the only summer foot attire on your shoe rack. What about bold brogues, nautical espadrilles, and floral wedges? With skinny jeans, pretty dresses and denim shorts these can all add a more interesting flair to your outfit, and make your legs look longer. With such fabulous styles, it can be hard to choose and often it’s not as simple as matching colours; style, quality, comfort and even your body shape matter. Body Shape First, find the right summer sandal that suits your height and legs. Petite girls should wear wedges to elongate their calves. These have been seen at the majority of the fashion shows and are available in every high street in store in a variety of colours and patterns. So roll up those pants and show off your bold wedges. The ultra comfy alternative to flip flops are the flat pumps - a bold colour will give a summer dress an accent, perhaps in a Caribbean twang if you are feeling especially brave. Although flats look better on a longer leaner leg, they can be rocked by shorter girls if you choose a pointy toe rather than a rounded one. A word of warning here, if you have big feet stay away from the point, they will only make your feet look even longer. Style Who doesn’t love a stiletto or a wedge platform? If so, look to British designer Alexander McQueen’s 2013 Resort collection for inspiration and hunt out similar styles in the high street. We especially love the Lucite (transparent) heels, square toes and angular positioning. Let us not omit the snakeskin/tiger stripes pair with studs literally crawling up the heel. It’s all about interesting heels, metallic texture and of course, what the McQueen design house does best, bold epic innovation. Quality & Comfort If Alexander McQueen is out of your price or comfort zone, then don’t fret, simply follow the three golden rules of shoe shopping. Buy Leather, Leather, Leather. This is so true in the summer when ladies feet can ‘glow’ in the heat. Don’t get stuck in the flip flop trap. Explore, experiment, mix it up a little, make your legs look longer and sharpen up your outfits with these hot alternatives
