If you’re lucky enough to escape the heat long enough for a quick summer jaunt, then packing is surely on the mind! Here, we take out all the guesswork for you and show you exactly what shoes to pack that are perfect for summer travel. Don’t worry, we’ve got just about every scenario covered!
Sightseeing
Fashionable ladies would not be caught dead sightseeing in tennis shoes. Instead, pack a pair of chic flats. Shop around for a pair that’s both stylish and comfortable, too. (Your best bet is to try on shoes late in the afternoon when your feet are swollen from walking throughout the day.)
This season, cap-toe flats are some of the chicest kind. Look for either a metallic cap-toe or color-blocked pair. These babies will get you through the streets of Paris and Milan in style.
If your vacation is a little less trendy and a little more beachside casual, pack a pair of boat shoes. It’s another one of this season’s hot shoe trends and comfortable for sight seeing along the beach and other laid back places.
Lounging
Whether you’re planning on being beachside, poolside or getting some R&R at the resort, a few cute pairs of summer sandals are definitely something to pack.
Cocktail Hour
Cocktail hour calls for something resort-chic: it’s not quite as casual as a wedge yet not quite as formal as an all-out pump. We love this Franco Sarto sandal (found right here at our Scottsdale, E&Js!) for its modest thick heel and classy look.
Dinner
Nighttime means it’s time for a little glamour and a pair of Statement Pumps is an easy way to get there. If you’re packing mostly basics like LBDs that you can reuse throughout your trip, a Statement Pump can give you an instantly stylish look.
