Shadow Play

Jellies

Ancient Greek Sandals has tapped into the jelly trend in the most sophisticated way - translucent, coloured, and absolutely made for beach-to-bar life. Equal parts nostalgic and elevated, providing the kind of joy your inner child remembers, styled the way your grown-up actually wants

They’re perfect with an all-black ensemble (to offset the playfulness), or with breezy linen separates and a straw bag for full summer nonchalance. Ideal for long lunches and even longer walks down memory lane.

Hardware Sandals

Amanu’s sandals are all about the detail. Elegant silhouettes finished with gold hardware at the toe and ankle - subtle, sculptural, and just the right amount of shine. In our opinion these are the perfect pair for summer evenings. Effortless enough for a cocktail by the beach, elevated enough to look like you meant it.

They bring polish to everything from white linen trousers to slinky dresses. Or go off-duty with cycling shorts and a boxy blazer for that perfect high-low mix.

Patterned Mules

Aeyde’s pointed zebra-print mules are proof that sometimes all your outfit needs is one bold move. Sleek, sculptural and wildly wearable, they deliver the perfect print hit, especially if your wardrobe leans monochrome.

Think of them as your new neutral: graphic enough to anchor an all-black or all-white look, but equally at print clashing with faded florals or subtle stripes. They're a statement shoe without the effort, sharp enough for the office, playful enough for wherever the night ends up.

Ballet Flats

The ballet flat isn’t backing down - in fact, it’s still pirouetting season after season. Our pick? A zingy chartreuse pair from Arket that proves this silhouette doesn’t have to play it safe. A ballet flat is a nice way to add a small pop of colour for those of us who may not be bold on statements and this colour in particular gives a full outfit an instant shot of energy - proof that dopamine dressing starts from the feet up.

Style them with a crisp poplin mini dress, oversized shirt and boxer shorts, or tailored trousers for a minimalist, no-effort outfit that still feels pulled together. Bonus points for a flash of white ankle socks if you dare.

Kitten Mules

Le Monde Beryl’s woven leather kitten mules are the kind of shoe that quietly does the most. With their sculptural heel, glove-like fit and textural weave, they sit somewhere between retro elegance and modern minimalism - a strong contender for the most versatile shoe of the summer.

Wear them with ankle-grazing trousers or a floaty midi for instant polish, or lean into their downtown energy with oversized denim and a bandeau top. They’re the definition of elevated ease - chic enough for evening, grounded enough for the everyday.

Mesh

Dear Frances delivers the mesh shoe that’s not only breathable but seriously elegant. Think quiet luxury meets actual ventilation. Ideal for city strolls, rooftop dinners, and the inevitable sweaty commute.

Wear them with slouchy tailoring, a slip skirt, or silk trousers - this is one trend that demands texture play. Add a sharp pedicure and you’re ready to go!
