The Best Types Of Shoes For Summer Celebrations

The type of event will determine your style of shoes. If you’re at a beach wedding or a boat party you might opt for a nice pair of women's sandals; if it’s a black tie event, an elegant pair of heeled sandals will be a better option over flats. When in doubt, mid-heel mules are a great in-between solution. 

A sensible height and heel width is worth factoring in if you know the evening is going to involve dancing, long periods of standing or walking to and from different venues, especially on risky surfaces like gravel or grass. You don’t want to go for something so high you can barely stay upright on your own. Maintaining a comfortable balance and stability through a block heel is crucial. Style hack: hide a pair of Havaianas in your handbag and make the switch when the real partying kicks in.

Practical shoes that can be worn more than once are a win in our eyes. If you can find a pair of heels that you will be able to pair back with items of clothing in your wardrobe for multiple events on your calendar is a bonus. Don’t let this sway you from choosing something statement though – you’ll be surprised at how well any shoe works with a classic jeans-and-nice-top combo.
