Grecian inspiration
With the influx of dressed-down looks like new bohemia and the cold shoulder, we’re all on the hunt for a pair of sandals that complement these carefree trends. Grecian-inspired gladiator sandals have been tipped to be this season’s ‘it’ shoe. There’s a variety of styles on offer this summer, from the classic cognac lace-up sandal to the fun vacation style embellished with mirrors, embroidery and tassels. Find a version that works with items in your wardrobe. And, if flat shoes aren’t your style, look for the stiletto update with knee-high lace-up detail.
