Women
working 9-to-5 type office jobs need shoes suitable for work. In the summer,
you want light, airy, practical footwear that looks stylish and can take you
from the subway to the street. Whether your office is semi-casual or more
formal, there are plenty of versatile options out there that you can and should
wear even long after work hours are over. Here are five styles that may work for you this
summer.
Classy Pumps in
Neutral Colors
When in doubt, you can always depend on your pumps for formal and casual
business settings. Stay secure in this knowledge. Having pairs of black, nude,
and gray pumps always give you options and are easy to wear, especially with a
low heel or a block heel. Wear pumps with everything from your suits to your
summer dresses and skirts. Get pumped on your business footwear.
Classic Closed-Toe
Slingbacks
You can walk with confidence in shoes that have a strap around the back of the
ankle. The strap should stay in place for the ultimate support. Slingbacks are
another essential in your work footwear collection, whether you work in a
formal or casual office. There are a variety of styles to choose from,
including flat slingbacks, pump slingbacks, and mule slingbacks. Get
comfortable saying the word “slingback.”
Stylish Boots and
Booties
Even in the summer, you can pull off a boot. Have you ever worn a white bootie
in the summer? Give it a try—it’s liberating. Chic brown, grey, or black flat boots are a great alternative to pumps.
From casual to corporate, you can wear work-appropriate boots and look
perfectly stylish. Step it up in booties with cutouts on the sides, or look for
interesting patterns to mix it up.
Lovable Loafers
A cozy loafer always feels and looks great. It’s easy to slip into a pair of
flat suede loafers and wear with a jacket and jeans or a skirt and blouse. You
can find plenty of stylish loafer silhouettes, including mule and stacked heel
options. An animal print loafer would be super cute and fit right into most
work environments too. You can also score some cushioned insole loafers with an
active vibe to them.
Summer Sandals
With so many cute sandals out there, it’s not a problem finding fashion
shoes women
love to wear for work and play. In most offices, sandals are a staple. Block
heels and wedge styles are suitable. A slide sandal always looks perfect with a
dress, skirt, or cropped pants. Choose from a variety of summery colors or pick
up some neutral tones, or why not a mix of each?
Other summer styles not mentioned above include ballet flats, espadrilles, and
refined sneakers. Some of those options might work well at your office or suit
your taste in shoes. One thing’s for sure: There’s no shortage of cute summer
shoes to wear.
