Kate Spade New York Ella Sandals
As chosen by executive fashion director Kitty McGee.
“Sixties silhouettes and accessories were a major takeaway trend from the spring summer catwalks; from Prada’s satin Alice bands to Rejina Pyo’s printed neck scarves to Miu Miu’s knee socks. The most versatile of all were Kate Spade’s colour-pop patent sandals, which will look as good with a preppy A-line skirt as they will with your vintage wash Levis.”

Arket Leather Sandals
As chosen by fashion editor Polly Knight.
“I love everything from Arket. These sandals are a perfect example of what they do best — minimal with a twist. They are the perfect shoe choice for all of your smart summer wardrobe needs; from workwear to weddings. I’ll wear them with wide leg jeans and a trench.”
Orange ankle strap sandals, £150, Arket
Staud Gita leather sandals
As chosen by fashion director Arabella Greenhill.
“This season’s biggest shoe trend is the barely there sandal; it’s elegant, understated and the perfect accompaniment for my go-to silk midi dresses which is what I’ll be wearing all summer long.”

Mango tangerine mules
As chosen by fashion news editor Billie Bhatia.
“I live in trainers and to say I find dainty summer sandals tricky is an understatement. These square-toe mules from Mango hit the right notes thanks to the simple silhouette and wide, chunky heel.”

ATP Atelier Nashi slingback sandals
As chosen by fashion assistant Helen Atkin.
“This season’s ‘naked’ nineties-style sandal is going to solve all of my summer workwear problems; these ATP Atelier sandals are flattering and versatile. I’ll wear them with everything from straight-leg white denim to linen dresses.”
