Warmer weather is on the horizon, and it's never too early to start planning your wardrobe. We've partnered with UGG to help you put the right foot forward as you kick off your Summer of fun.
Have a look at any girl's Summer calendar, and we'd almost guarantee it includes the following: barbecues, weekends away, adventures with friends, and — of course — at least one music festival. With a full social agenda comes the pressure to stay on top of our outfit game around the clock. But, unless you've got unlimited funds and a lot of wardrobe space, that just isn't realistic. That's why having a versatile wardrobe is crucial — especially when we're talking shoes.
Thankfully, there are chic and functional options to suit every occasion. We've rounded up four of our favourites ahead. Inspired by the carefree California girls who have mastered the balance between casual, trendy, and versatile, you'll definitely want to stock your wardrobe with one of each style.
1 Un-Mellow Yellow
Lavender may be top of mind this Spring, but yellow is definitely the colour of Summer. While a golden version of the shade — call it marigold, canary, or mustard — was popular a few seasons back, this year, we're going all out with a true bright yellow. These convertible flip flops (£50) have a detachable sheepskin slingback that make them equally ideal to wear with a trendy festival look or slip on for a day at the park.
2 Denim For Days
Opting to channel the denim on denim trend? These fringe slip-ons (£110) make it easy to take that look to the next level. Complete with giant fringe pom poms that use a mix of dark, medium, and light wash yarns, you're guaranteed to turn heads as you trek between stages or walk down the city streets. Go big or go home, right?
3 Playful Platforms
These platform slingback sandals (£150) are a retro-inspired favourite — and it looks like they're back for a second year in a row. But instead of being adorned with patent leather or pearl embellishments, this time they're making an even fuzzier statement. The black straps and layered natural and white soles make them versatile enough to pair with a dress, denim shorts, or even an edgier look for a night out.
4 Soft Slides
Let's be honest, who wasn't wearing one of those bear-inspired coats this Winter? Thankfully, the trend can live on through the heat with a little help from these tan sheepskin sandals (£110). The slide style makes them insanely easy to throw on when you're feeling lazy or running errands, while the crisscross detail and trendy fabric makes them more than acceptable to wear to your favourite festival. We suggest wearing them on the final day when you're feet are tired and you're in need of something cosy and comfortable.
5 Go For Girly
Your inner girly-girl is calling — and she wants you to own a pair of floral flip flops (£45). A more playful take on a quintessential Summer shoe style, these pale pink sandals are perfect for slipping on and wearing just about anywhere. And if you're still stuck on your millennial pink obsession, this more pastel version of the hue is a nice way to shake things up.
6 Perfectly Patent
Strappy sandals and hot days are truly a foolproof pairing. And since white and platform styles are two popular shoe trends, these glossy platform sandals (£120) are guaranteed to be a go-to in your lineup this Summer.
