I love wearing white clothes in the summer. They look fresh, cool and clean and they can be accessorised in so many different ways, a bit like a blank canvas. One thing that I have always struggled with is finding the right pair of shoes to wear with a white outfit. Of course white shoes would be the obvious choice, but coming from the South East, there are far too many connotations associated with the white stiletto and Essex girls and as a result I usually avoid any type of white shoes like the plague, even trainers. There are other options like cream, neutral, natural and tan, all of which have their place but sometimes just don’t look quite right. Colours either bright or pastel can look good with white, but may need some careful co ordination.

This summer white shoes are right on trend and I think they may have finally managed to shrug off their Essex girl image and adopted a very classy and stylish persona (not that Essex girls are not classy and stylish I might add). Chunky heels and cool details make them more elegant than Essex and more stylish than stiletto. I think I may even get myself a pair.

I love these Miss Sixty shoes which would look great with anything from a pair of jeans to floaty floral dress.
