Instead, make yourself feel like you have every shoe you'll ever need by making sure you've got all the basics. By owning just these seven styles of shoes, you'll be able to make pretty much any outfit work in your favor all summer long.
Espadrilles
The fabric and patterns of espadrilles mean they always pair fabulously with denim of any kind. Flat espadrilles can be worn with jeans, or flowy, natural fabric bottoms, while heeled espadrilles look best with shorter skirts and sun dresses.

Flat sandals
Flat sandals are great for a day when you want to both comfy and stylish. Pair them with a pair of shorts and a casual top, or dress them up with a light summer dress.
Wood clogs
These heavier shoes pair best with lighter fabrics, especially in the summer months. They go well with skinny jeans and a poplin blouse, or natural fabric shorts or blazers (think linen).
Platforms
Platform shoes are all about showing off the leg (since they give you such beautiful gams when you wear them). Pair these bold shoes with cuffed skinny jeans or short dresses and skirts. They also work well with knee-length skirts, making it look like you're showing more skin than you really are.

Spring boots

Menswear
