Find the perfect summer sandals

There are so many styles of sandal to choose from this summer it's hard not to be overwhelmed.  Here are some top tips on finding the right pair that will work for you.

Sporty

Sportswear is a huge trend this season and this has filtered down to footwear. Sandals are given a sporty twist - think, high tops, mesh, velcro and laces and you won't go far wrong. Choose from fresh, clean white or bright, fun neon shades.

Embellished

Make a statement with your footwear this summer by choosing an embellished sandal. Beads and embroidery will give you a tribal twist, while flowers and bows will keep you looking young and girlie. Fringing will add a boho chic feel to your look; add jewels and sparkle for hot summer nights.

Wedges

Wedges are a great alternative to a high heel; they add height and make your legs look like they go on forever, but they also give you a bit more support and can be quite comfortable. Fortunately for us they're the height of fashion this summer! Opt for glamorous metallic leather in the evening, a raffia heel for a day by the sea, or a multi-strap caged wedge for a harder, futuristic edge.

Kitten Heel

The rumours are true - the kitten heel is back! Choose from a huge range of styles, including chunky, stack-heeled sandals or pastel peep-toes. With so many style to choose from, it's easy to avoid looking twee - especially if you opt for a studded pair!

Gladiator

The gladiator is sticking around for another year, and this season they're more extreme than ever, with many styles going right up to the knee. Soften this look with a pretty summer dress or wear with utility shorts and an oversized shirt for a safari feel.
