1. Classic pumps
This pair of polished pumps will never let you down. These are a classic finish to everything, from the office to your evenings out. You can wear these shoes to any occasion and get that instantly elevated look.
2. Block heels
Block heels are just as stylish as the classic pumps. But they also have the added advantage of being more practical, supportive, and walkable than the pointier heels. Apart from the style benefits, block heels also provide additional stability and support for your feet.
3. Casual sneakers
Gym sneakers are meant for the gym, but a pair of simple comfortable sneakers are a wardrobe basic worth investing in. They’ll look a whole lot cuter with jeans than your bulky trainers will. You could go with soft-soled lace-up shoes or basic vans.
4. Dress shoes
If you’re into the whole androgynous vibe, smart brogues or loafers should be staple shoes for you. These are a more formal and classy alternative to sneakers with a preppy-cool twist. You can dress this up with structured office wear or dress it down with a nice pair of jeans.
5. Flat sandals
6. Ballet flats
7. Statement heels
This is the pair of shoes you wear when you want to finish everybody. As the name implies, statement heels are the shoes that attract a lot of attention and are the centerpiece of your entire outfit.
Go for one with bright colours or an unusual texture and watch all the eyes turn in your direction.
