American footwear guru stuart weitzman’s forte: making shoes that are trendy yet effortless, simple yet statement-making, sexy yet sophisticated. Here’s the low-down on spring/summer 2016’s key styles.
ABANDON For a simple yet luxurious take on classic espadrille wedge sandals: Leather laces are designed to coil around the calves, while a contrasting leather trim adds subtle edge. Throw on an open-back shirt, rawhemmed jeans, and your off-duty wardrobe is sorted.
GRANDIOSE A slick update of mod booties, this comes with a pointed toe, statement-making angular block heel, and a rich and effortlessly chic camel hue – just what you need to anchor a flirty printed mini dress.
ROMANESQUE The designer puts a fun, flirty spin on gladiator sandals with mini tassels and espadrille flatform soles. Crafted from supple suede, it puts resort chic into a camisole-andaccordion- skirt combination.
KENT The summery alternative to creepers: linen oxfords in an unexpected golden hue, elevated with woven flatform soles. Edgy and refined, it goes as well with a cropped suit as it does with a tent dress.
STRINGDOWN A hybrid style that’s part mule, part laceup flat, this has wraparound lacing that accentuates the calves, while the buffed wooden soles lend a cool contrast. Pair with a flowy offshoulder top and tailored culottes for a modern take on hippie dressing.
NEARLYNUDE The minimalist sandals that should be part of every modern woman’s wardrobe – now in lush suede with bold, block heels. We love them with a silk crepe de Chine blouse and cropped flares.
LOWLAND The brand’s iconic over-the-knee Highland boots go flat, only to become cooler without losing its sex appeal or versatility. Try it with printed mini dresses, denim, or a dramatic cape.
ROMANFLAT What happens when evergreen gladiators meet this season’s on-trend lace-up look? Sexy yet sophisticated sandals made from luxurious suede, and complete with tassels. Wear it Rivierastyle with wide-legged pants and a cropped broderie anglaise top.
