Ankle cuffs

Ankle cuffs are popular this Spring. The carefree and effortless attitude they create is truly stylish.

Beware of the leg -shortening effect though. Show as much leg as possible. Or wear leggings.

Lace up booties

Wear lace-up booties all year round to add subtle glamour to your every day items, like a T-shirt and jeans.

Wear with bare legs or opaque tights, under jeans or with skirts and dresses above the knee.

Espadrilles

Espadrilles are a hot new season item. They're feminine without being too girly, casual without looking sloppy, and chic yet comfy.

They are perfect as in-between shoes - not as casual as thongs, but not quite as dressy as sandals. Wear with skirts, capri's and shorts.

Platform wedges

Platform wedges are great when you want to look tall but still walk comfortably. The look is modern and stylish. Pick a neutral color to enable you to wear your wedges with many different outfits. Team up with shorter length dresses, shorts and pants with a slight flare at the bottom. Avoid skinny jeans.

Utility boots

Black shorts or leggings create a good starting point, then add a denim jacket to balance the worn in look of the boots.  A tough utility boot is the perfect contrast to a tender, hippie-chic dress. Or simply tuck into skinny jeans and add a mellow, feminine top to soften the rough look of the boots.

Nude heels

The beauty of "nude" coloured accessories is that you can literally wear them with any outfit. They not only make your clothes stand out but nude shoes don't cut your silhouette so your legs look longer! Wear nude shoes with bare legs or with opaque tights for a fashion forward look.

Barely there thongs

Barely there thongs are the definition of summer casual chic.

Team up with shorts, carpri pants, oversized beach shirts and kaftans for a stylish St Tropez look.

Jewelled sandals

What we love about jewelled sandals is that you can wear them with a basic white tee and jeans during the day.. then into the night as a chic and comfortable alternative to heels.

Ballet flats

Ballet flats are fabulously versatile and can be worn all year around.

Few on-trend shoes give you both non-stop comfort and ceaseless style, so they are a style you can really indulge in.

Cut outs

Croquet style shoes or shoes with cut outs make a fashionable choice and are very versatile.

Dress up at night with a patent clutch, or team up with a black cardigan, striped t-shirt and a short beige tulip skirt for the office.
