The Shoes You’ll Need to Make it Through This Summer
Spring shoe season is here and it’s time to pack up the boots and bring out the sandals and lighter shoes. I have heard customers worry that we don’t have as many shoes as we used to have in the separate store. While this is a true statement, we still have tons of great options and I promise the overall quantity isn’t less. We have added shoes from two of our popular clothing lines, Tibi and Rachel Comey. We also keep increasing our selection of our two client favorites: Freda Salvador and AGL. As I’m in this business longer and longer, I want to focus on smaller brands that are female-owned and these two lines check both boxes.
We’re also adding a few lines, like Odissi out of Italy. My former AGL rep is with them now and once I saw it, I immediately knew our clients would love it.
To prove we still have a great shoe selection I created a shoe capsule. This is what I think someone needs to make it through summer if they had no shoes at all in their closet. Maybe your foot grew while you were pregnant or your closet flooded and you have no shoes, this is where I would start:
1) A Simple Sandal
I really think everyone needs a very simple sandal that really doesn’t have much to it. It almost disappears when you wear it. This is the shoe you live in all summer. It goes with shorts, sun dresses and everything in between. We got these Ann Mashburn and Freda Sandals in two colors I loved them so much.
2) A neutral flat
I am a believer in the power of a nude flat. I think it is more useful than a black flat but I am sure some would argue with me on that. I wear a nude flat more than anything in my closet. Either of these two flats would get your through summer. Pair them with dresses, skirts or jeans when you just need a little more shoe than a sandal.
3) Dressy Heel/ Sandal
Everyone needs this in their closet 12 months out of the year. That comfortable heel that goes with everything and you can stand in all night. The Bernadette from AGL and the Weber from Tibi are the perfect easy heel. We have the Bernadette in 3 colors and Weber in 2.
4) A Sneaker
Summer is a time for travel and sporting events so I think everyone needs a great sneaker that walks around with them. I mean who wants to walk about a city in an open toe shoe! I love all versions of the Autry; you can’t go wrong with any style and they are so comfortable. If you like a bit dressier option, the AGL slip on sneaker is a little more elevated.
