@kimturkington_Style Notes: If there's one shoe style that I could wear all year round, it would have be the loafer. Granted, it is not the kind of shoe that's first choice for your holiday suitcase, but until temperatures reach 29ºC in the UK again, loafers look equally as good with bare legs as they do with tights.

@elizabethanneventerStyle Notes: Ah, trainers, where would our wardrobes be without you? From laidback weekend outfits to office-appropriate looks, there's nothing a good pair of trainers can't do, and you'll never regret having a pair in your roster come rain or shine.
These go out of stock as quickly as they come in.
A fashion-editor favourite.
I'm desperate to get my hands on these.

@taffymsipaStyle Notes: It's no coincidence that one of the best-selling shoes in the last couple of years has been Birkenstock's clogs, and thankfully for us, other brands are taking note. This closed-toe-slip-on hybrid is everything you want in transitional weather, managing to keep you cosy and cool all at the same time.

@borislavasekovaStyle Notes: Praise be to Prada for making the slingback sexy again. This once dated shoe style has had a very fashionable makeover in recent years, and often comes with a wearable heel height that you can comfortably trot about in all day. Which other shoe can channel boss energy at only 2.5 inches?
An undeniably chic pair that no one will believe are from the high street.
There's also black, but patent brown stands out from the crowd.
Every wardrobe should have a quick and easy pair of flats.

@leiasfezStyle Notes: I have a secret that I'm not ashamed to admit. On every evening that I'm wearing heels, you'll find a pair of ballet pumps stashed in my bag (surely, I can't be alone in that?). These slip-on wonders are great for busy days spent on your feet, and they look so good whilst doing it. Look at the Instagram feed of any of France's best dressed, and I guarantee you'll spot a pair of ballet pumps in the mix. They're a Parisian style staple.
Take two major trends (ballet flats and mesh shoes), mix them together, and you have one perfect pair of mary janes.
Another "could be designer" dupe.
Imagine how good these would look like straight-leg blue denim.
Simply the cutest pumps on the high-street. Now just to choose whether to go for silver, black, red, satin or white...

@symphonyofsilkStyle Notes: Until the temperatures are low enough for knee-high boots, I have a pair of classic ankle boots on reserve. They're impossibly cute with mini skirts and floaty dresses, but look even better with jeans and a jacket, so should the weather be a little greyer than expected, it's time to call in old faithful—the timeless leather ankle boot.
A classic you'll wear for years to come.
I predict we're going to be seeing a lot of white boots this year.

@aniyahmoriniaStyle Notes: It feels like fisherman sandals are still a relative newbie to the style circuit, but now we've seen them, we can't let them go. My favourite thing about these caged sandals? They are perfection with dresses but they're also made to be worn with socks, so as soon as the rain comes, just add an extra layer to stay dry.
I cannot get enough of the Queenie in beige suede…
