Let’s talk about shoes, shall we? More often than not, they’re the hardest-working item in your wardrobe, commanding more repeat wears than anything else. We change our clothes daily and swap out our accessories, such as bags and jewellery on the regular, but shoes are expected to work with multiple outfits. As such, investing in versatile shoes can elevate any ensemble is crucial.
For the longest time, I, like many people, tended to gravitate towards neutral shoe colours (read: black), which went with the majority of my clothes. But recently, I’ve been feeling the urge to switch things up and inject some colour into my shoe collection, especially as we approach the warmer months.

Style Notes: Akin to blue denim, which we know pairs perfectly with just about every colour you can think of, the same logic applies to pale blue shoes. Trust me, you’ll be amazed at just how much they go with.
Style Notes: Sandy yellow tones bridge the gap between white shoes and tan, making for a pretty choice that’s surprisingly versatile too. Although Abi has styled hers with a rather neutral get-up, this shade also works with bolder hues, such as pink and blue, as well as shades of khaki, burgundy, and navy.
On the subject of white shoes, I formerly thought they looked a little cheap. Now, though, with refined, cool silhouettes, white shoes are one of the chicest thigs you can wear on your feet. And, naturally, being a neutral
Bright red might be bold but this particular shade is still widely regarded as being classic; something that will never go out of style. That’s what makes it a sound bet when it comes to bags and shoes—in the instance where you need to pep up
Style Notes: Again, it might be a key trend this summer but silver is everlasting, especially in the world of shoes and accessories. Because of the light base colour and reflective surface, they tend to blend with other colours better than gold, bouncing off of them in a complementary way.
