With the cooler months closing in on our doorstep, you might be tempted to pack away the summer sandals. Not so fast, fashionista! Your summer flats still have a lot of life in them! Blessed with our warmer winters, Australia is the perfect place for transeasonal footwear.
To look uber cool though, you can’t just chuck on your sandals with your jeans and jumper and hope for the best. A super chic look is to play with layers, different proportions and textures.
Play with looks such as a long line cardi layered over cropped jeans and finished off with a lightweight scarf and gladiator sandals for a great little relaxed, casual look. Or experiment with a mini, boyfriend blazer and a flat, caged shoe for a real rock chic look.
Make textures and fabrics work for you by mixing up either a leather jacket over a denim skirt, or a leather skirt with a cotton tee, and throw on a terrific reptile print flats.
Gran a pair of brogues (all the rage this autumn/winter) and match them with some harem pants and layered singlets in staple cotton. And to look really on trend and channel the latest looks seen on the runways of NY Fashion Week, invest in some thin mid calf socks and wear them with your kitten heels. Scrunch the socks down slightly though – this isn’t school, it’s fashion.
It’s such a fun look being able to mix sandals with the heavier weights and feel of more wintry fabrics and styles and is a very Australian sense of style. AND you’ll stay super comfy (yet fashionable!) in your fabulous flats!!
