Over the past couple of weeks we’ve looked at Summer 2008 Fashion, Jeans and T-Shirts and today as a special treat to all our readers – we are going to look at footwear. Shoes are a conundrum, you need a pair for so many differing occassions and weather types, it is very tempting to spalsh out on whatever you come across – leaving you with an Imelda Marcos style wardrobe full of unused footwear. So in a not very original at all manner, let’s have a look at some essential styles of the moment!.
- Boots – The ubiqutous UGG Boots have reinged supreme here for the last few years, and deservedly so, however – we feel that cowboy boots are coming back big style.
- Sandals – Peacocks have some great Gladiator Sandals (and great cheap footwear in general), but please no more crocs!

- Wedges – Earthy, muted colours with a cork base look great, we tend to steer clear of bright patent leather.
- Trainers – Converse All Star – Great range of colours and styles that look cool with just about anything.
- Flats – A great versatile shoe that can easily be worn for work or play.
- Heels – Ramp up the glam factor, and get pulses racing with a bold pair of heels. EDIT – These look like a pretty special pair of heels – to Brantano!
To finish let’s have a look at the classic homage to footwear – ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ from the 68 Elvis Comeback Special. Obviously, this video is an essential style guide in itself……….enjoy!
