Andrea's It List: My summer shoe edit: chic finds for every occasion

These Russell and Bromley cork heel slip-ons are reminiscent of the much-hyped sell-out versions from Chloé’s Fall 24 show, where the wedge made its much-heralded return. Pair them all summer with wide-leg jeans or midi dresses for work and weekends. I love the soft-tan version, too.

Adidas Sambas may have taken a reputational knock after the Sunak affair last year, but 70s-style sneakers are not going anywhere. I've shopped around and rounded up my favourite 3 on the market. I love these stylish suede ones with contrasting panels from Dries Van Noten, which I've had my eye on for a while. At a more affordable price point, the Adidas 'Japan’ sneakers, with their slick white and red design, are understated but super cool. But I'm a sucker for metallics and love this show-stopping silver Aohas, too - the ultimate festival shoe.

I'm currently eyeing up these elegant tan and canvas Gucci thong sandals, which I predict will be one of those chic investment buys I can wear summer after summer. These beautiful Manolo Blahnik high-heeled slingbacks—the perfect accompaniment for a host of summer events—are also high on my list. In the meantime, these thong sandals from Zara, which sell out each summer, are on my list because, quite simply, they're quietly chic, one of the most versatile styles on the market, and great value, too.

Braided ballerina pumps just might be the best summer work shoe of all time. These Paris Texas woven ballet versions with leather trim are the most chic style I've found and come in gold too combining style with comfort. Again Zara do a cute black take on these that I'm loving.

For those days when I need to navigate a full day at the office and straight out to dinner, I love a low-heel sling back. These nude Malone Soulier ones are one of my most worn items during the summer months. Beautifully made and as elegant as any heels. Another favourite are my croc Totem dark brown leather ones–my go-to on smarter days with a suit, they're elegant, classic and won't date.

A great slider will take you from work to summer events to holidays and everything in between. These super soft brown leather ones with signature gold hardware by Valentino Garavan are an investment buy you'll love forever. I've also been admiring these tan Dune ones which look expensive and come in a comfy wide fitting too. Finally, I had to include my favourite cute gold studded Birkenstocks, which I can testify are super comfortable for mooching about at weekends and holidays - and are smart enough to wear to dinner, too. A great all-rounder.
