Unless you are new here, in which case welcome, you know that I am all about buying pieces that will last and be in style for the long haul. I love capsule pieces and shoes are no exception!
Just like other staple pieces you have in your closet, there are a few shoes to have that will be in style for a long time. Below is a list of four staple shoes you need for summer.

White sneakers are everywhere right now! (I had a poll over on Insta about what you call these. “Tennis Shoes” was the top contender. Other possibilities were “trainers” and even “runners”.) These are considered more of a trending item but they have been on the forefront for a couple of years now and I am sure they will be around for a few more. They will be around long enough for you to invest in a good pair.
An espadrille wedge is the perfect summertime shoe whether you choose an open-toe sandal or closed-toe with ankle wraps. They are good for casual outings as well as mid-day, dressier events. And, for goodness sake, please stop wearing these in the Fall and (especially) Winter.
I don’t want to say obviously sandals, but sandals….obviously. I didn’t say flip-flops. That’s completely different and they aren’t stylish…no matter how many bedazzles are on them. The right pair of sandals will take your outfit effortlessly to the next level.
Then there is the timeless standby: the open-toed heel. Wear them with jeans, dress shorts, or to that perfect June wedding. It is smart to have these in a couple of neutral colors, if you can, so you are prepared for every occasion.

If you are a shoe lover like me, you probably already have some of these styles. How many pairs of shoes do you think you own? Maybe it should be don’t ask, don’t tell. XOXO – Scarlett
