Changing your shoes isn’t always enough to transform an outfit. On the other hand, changing their color, yes. This summer, one shade in particular is making its mark in the new collections and is selling at a very low price.
You just need to take a look at the shoe aisles to see it. Strapped sandals, ballerinas, mules and even small heels may have different styles, but many come in the same color. This is no coincidence. Brands are focusing on a color that easily goes with summer clothes and immediately gives a more chic look.
Its main advantage is that it goes with almost everything you wear between June and September. White linen pants, jeans, a floral dress, a chocolate ensemble or even the colors that are a hit this season like butter yellow and baby blue: it fits everywhere. We put on these shoes and it works. This is also why they often end up at the top of the rotation, while other pairs gather dust at the back of the closet.
This color also has another advantage: it brings light without stealing the spotlight from the clothes. When an outfit is already worked on, with a pretty material or a strong color, the shoes stay in their place and simply complete the ensemble. Conversely, if the look is very basic, they give it a little more polished side. It’s this kind of detail that makes the difference between an outfit that looks okay and one that seems really well thought out.
The color that is getting so much attention is light latte. Halfway between beige, camel, taupe and warm sand, it has the advantage of being neutral enough to match the majority of outfits, while being warmer than a classic beige.
Another good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to follow this trend. Accessible brands have already widely adopted it. At Gémo, suede wide heel sandals are priced at 17.49 euros. The heeled flip-flops from Monki, available on Showroomprivé, are priced at only 4.90 euros. At Pimkie, flat pointed-toe sandals with studs cost 11.99 euros. Three different styles, three low prices and one thing in common: the same color.
