Shorts
Calves on show? That means your shoes are too. And with shorts more sartorially acceptable than ever you need a whole spectrum of footwear companions to pick from. Luckily we’ve rounded up the sandals, sneakers, plimsolls, deck shoes and loafers that are bulletproof style partners for your colourful cottons. Dress up in high gloss leathers or down in simple pumps, and remember to keep your socks in the drawer and sprinkle some smell busting baby powder on the sole.
Smart Jeans
Denim is perfectly acceptable for smart occasions. But only if you wear the right shoes. Oxfords and brogues are your go-to already but add desert boots and loafers to the mix and think about injecting more colour.
