Shoes: the 3 commandments this summer
Summer is finally here, and so are all the season’s trends and the insatiable urge to get out there and see the world. Want to hop from terrace to terrace, go on a museum crawl, or even wander the city’s parks until the early hours, all while looking chic and staying comfortable? Here is a Parisian’s guide to stepping out in style this summer.
Embrace your inner mathematician
Whether you like your shoes flat or sky-high, it’s time to show your heels this summer. Opt for some strappy slides in fishing net–style mesh or braided leather, perhaps. There’s just one rule: your heels must be as free as your post-lockdown lifestyle. Don’t hesitate to switch things up with different heights. Even stilettos! After all, freedom of movement is the new stability. Is balance your Achilles’ heel? Go for a low, stable option, or even better: platforms.

Go back to basics
You might want to go full steam ahead right now, but it’s time to start again. There’s nothing better than a good old pair of dad sandals with velcro straps to keep you on the straight and narrow. Ultra-comfortable soles and good ankle support make them the ideal companions for any adventure. And they don’t skimp on style, either: tourist-chic velcro sandals have never been more on trend. Wear them with a dress or a jumper to create a relaxed look for stepping back and hitting the reset button.
