Dolce Vita Daisha Sneakers
Despite being a more recent purchase, these sneakers have already become a staple in my wardrobe. The sporty lace-up detail and chic platform make these sneakers incredibly versatile. Whether I am wearing a dress, skirt, pants, or even denim shorts, these shoes are a stylish and comfortable way to complete any outfit.
Color: White/Silver Nylon
Marc Fisher Nelly Ankle Strap Wedge Sandal
Each year, espadrille wedges are some of my most worn summer shoes. They go with pretty much everything— jeans, dresses, shorts, skirts, etc. I always reach for them because they instantly elevate any outfit and are about as comfortable as heeled shoes can get. I’ve tried many of the Marc Fisher espadrilles, and every shoe’s quality has been very impressive.
Color: Medium Natural
Dolce Vita Paily Heels
These heels make just enough of a statement where they add to the outfit without taking over. Plus, from work pants to party dresses, these shoes pair well with so many pieces! Perhaps the best part of all, they are so comfortable!
Color: Ivory Stella
A New Day Women’s Laurel Loafer Flats
For my office girlies out there looking for a business professional option, this recommendation is for you! First and foremost, I love the sophisticated style these loafers add to any outfit. I also love the memory foam sole that makes wearing them so comfortable. As if there wasn’t enough to love, these shoes are a lower-priced option that didn’t break the bank.
Color: Light Taupe
Sam Edelman Yaro Ankle Strap Sandal
For my fellow short girls looking for some height, these Sam Edelman Heels have you covered. It doesn’t matter what I’m wearing— whether it’s a dress or distressed jeans, adding these sleek-looking heels elevates my outfit instantly. I will say, if there’s one shoe listed that falls a little short on comfort, these are them. However, I’m willing to overlook it because as far as heels go, these are one of the more comfortable options.
Color: Soft Beige
Dolce Vita Lucca Flip Flop
When I think of flip flops, I usually only think about wearing them to the beach or pool. However, these flip flops have a fashionable flair that make them suitable for way more occasions. The overall simplistic flip flops have a slightly contemporary look due to the tubular straps and knotted detail, adding style in the most minimal way.
Color: Light Tan Stella
Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Running Shoes
Tennis/running shoes are a year-round must-have, but these are the specific sneakers I’ve been wearing this summer! They have a unique color that isn’t your typical black, grey, tan, etc. while remaining neutral enough to pair with almost any outfit. They are cute and comfortable which makes them perfect for on-the-go!
Color: Smokey Gray
Sam Edelman Gerianne Sandal
These shoes are an honorable mention because they are no longer carried at the bigger retailers. However, if you find them at a last-call/discount store or resell sites (I especially recommend this option if you already know your size and can find a “New in Box” pair), pick them up! They are the perfect elevated flip flop that you can wear on pool days or out to dinner because they’re just that versatile! Plus, you’ll want to wear them all the time because of how comfortable they are!
