Okay, I think I have finally found it: the best outfit to wear on days like this! Superdry has helped me find it, so let’s get started.
I love the fact that jeans are always in fashion; not just the modern fit of the 00s, but full-on, flared 90s-style jeans. To put it simply, denim is always in style. I chose this pair of jeans, the ‘Cassie Skinny Jeans’, in white of course because it’s my favorite color.
But what shoes to match with it? It can sometimes be a nightmare to choose to right pair (or rather, it’s so easy to choose the wrong one).
I usually wear my jeans with sneakers, heeled boots or ankle boots during the cooler months, but it’s the summer that places a problem. Flat sandals are fine (you end up with a bit of a boho vibe) but sometimes you want more of a shoe than just a simple sandal.
Here’s my go-to theory: always style your denim with an ankle strap shoe. As soon as you put on a pair of these with your jeans, skinny or flared, it starts giving you that early feel, which is a bit dated now. So, in my pursuit to come up with a suitable summery shoe, I found these fabulous espadrille wedges sandals.
To be honest, I haven’t bought any footwear from Superdry for about four years now (give or take a couple of years – the point being that it was a long time ago), but I was immediately sold on this pair.
The wedge and the low ankle strap adds length to your legs rather than cutting them off and making them look shorter, so they’re so flattering to wear with skirts as well. I was probably drawn to them because I have always been a big fan of espadrilles my whole life, plus I can’t ignore the fact they’re THE summer shoe of 2017. There are so many variations that the choices are endless; believe me!
Shoes and denim aside, I decided to complete my look with some extra items from Superdry’s women’s collection. I played with patterns and mixed the ‘Shiffley Lace Sleeveless Shirt’ and the ‘Nautical Jersey Blazer Jacket’.
The quality is quite impressive; the shirt is soft, and the jacket is so well made (the fabric, button, and inner lining) while the design itself remains very classic. This piece may have to wait for next season to be worn, as the weather is predicted to get hotter in New York over the next two weeks.
Summer is by far my favorite time of year, and the new Summer 2017 Collection was a fantastic excuse to visit Superdry again. Head on over to the site to take a look for yourself, and remember…if you buy two items, you get the 3rd free! Happy Shopping!
