You're probably reading this because you need an adult-like shoe to wear to your new job. I know it's a rude wake-up call when you've been rocking slides and sneakers all summer, but business casual shoes have become more realistic in recent years.
So don't go overboard with the shoe-buying yet, you probably have a similar shoe to the ones below in your closet. Here are four types of shoes you can wear to the office this summer.
1. Simple Flats.
Women's Grandeur Huarache Flat- $39.99- Famous Footwear
Flats are great for busy mornings when you need a quick shoe to hurry out the door. What we love about these shoes is the wicker-pattern throughout that makes them unique. This shoe also has grip soles, which are ideal for rainy days. You can choose to wear socks with these or rock them without, your choice.
2. The Kitten Heel Sandal.
East 5th's Oyster Women's Flat Sandals- $19- JCPenney
Although you're giving heel and toe with this shoe, you're also getting a little bit of height, which is a professional shoe trait. The sturdy band that holds the toe thong also covers the skin of the foot. A shoe like this is best worn in a business casual environment with pants, capris or a long dress.
3. The Strappy Heel.
Taylor Natural Suede Ankle Strap Heels- $31- LuLu's
You can wear a strappy sandal like this with almost any outfit, from wide-leg pants to jumpsuits. Strappy sandals in skin tone colors add length to your legs, making them appear longer and slimmer. These strappy heels, in particular, are made with vegan leather, so you are saving the animals and looking cute all at once.
4. The Wedge with an Edge.
So Perch Women's Wedges-$34.99- Kohl's
This high heeled wedge is perfect for a formal work event. The shoe is vented at the top, which serves as an outlet for any extra moisture. They are padded on the inside for extra comfort, and the ankle straps will keep your foot nice and secure. If your dress code requires sandals with straps, this is an adorable way to adhere to that rule.
