Summertime can be a tricky time of year for office wear. Finding office-appropriate shoes that are also summer-friendly is tough. The answer? A monochrome shoe: sleek black or white looks smart and unfussy, but fresh too. If your office is formal, consider a chunky-soled, black leather sandal like the Breathable panel sandals from Mango, below. Or for more liberal environments, try a pair of fun striped mules from Uterque. Here are ten of my favourites from all corners of the internet.
