POISED CHAMBER
*Maria Mavarez
written CHIDOZIE OBASI
Certain things are universally recognised as complementary duos. To name but a few: wine and cheese, for instance, a white T-shirt and cosy denim pieces, or a trench coat and a brolly. When it comes to failsafe midseason style pairings, the same can be said of retro separates and heels – a combination that will see you through a season of post-work drinks, park strolls and garden gatherings.

There are, of course, seemingly endless variations on both. Neutral patterns, breezy cotton skirts and body-sculpting shapes can be found far and wide this season, while in the shoes department, there’s a wealth of iterations, ranging from premium to ready to wear labels. The below outfit formulas prove that a mid-length hemline can be a great method of showing off trending shoes, whatever they may be – and wherever you may choose to wear them.
For easy midsummer style, opt for pointed-toe iterations from Santoni or Valentino – both of which will pair well with staples like a breezy skirt or wear-anywhere gown. Or, for a more pared-back approach, look to rock-studded styles in leather or suede, which are best styled with shirts or gently-volumised outerwear. Ready to embrace a new take on these styles? Scroll on for LE MILE’s edit of the best offerings available now. You’re welcome.
