Three summer shoes and how to style them

There are shoes for all occasions and times of the year, but in no period are shoes as popular as throughout the summer. Today we recommend three types of summer shoes and show how they can be matched.

Three summer shoes and how to style them
When summer, sun and warmth are on the doorstep, we finally emerge from winter hibernation. Thus, it is once again also time to review the footwear collection, put your winter boots back in the cupboard and ensure you're all set to hit the outdoors again.

Sneakers

The sneaker is likely familiar to everyone, but it remains the quintessential summer shoe that you cannot live without. This versatile shoe pairs with most outfits. A classic sneaker looks great in a casual combination with matching chinos, a cardigan, and optional accessories — whether you’re going to watch a football match or dining out with friends.

Boat Shoes

If you're not a fan of sneakers, or if you're looking for a slightly dressier alternative, the boat shoe is an excellent option that works well for most occasions. It can be dressed down with a pair of swim shorts, a polo shirt, and sunglasses for a day at the beach, or worn in a more polished combination with pleated shorts, a pullover, and cotton blazer for more formal occasions.

Sandals

Few shoes evoke summer and vacation vibes more than a pair of sandals. This relaxed and famously stylish footwear option has undergone a transformation in recent years. Once heavily associated with the orthopedic industry and tasteless tourists, sandals have now become a permanent fixture in most wardrobes. Whether worn at home in the garden or on holiday, they add a touch of laid-back sophistication to any outfit. While they may never pair well with a suit, we recommend attempting to dress them up a bit for a casual yet stylish summer look.

Genuinely one of the best online shopping experiences I’ve had. Everything just works — from a smooth, intuitive website to fast, spot-on delivery that arrives exactly when they say it will. No fuss, no delays, just consistently excellent service. Hard to fault — a clear five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fast delivery, well packaged and, because this time the product wasn’t for me, a superbly efficient returns service with great communication. Care of Carl is a very high quality, trustworthy business, in my view.
