I’ve Worked It Out—These Are the 7 Best Shoes to

After so many months of paying our dues in thick, woolly layers, at last, the sun is rearing its head and it’s time to celebrate in the only way we know how—through clothing.

Excitingly for us there are some fresh summer trends entering the rotation this year—including my new favourite trouser trend: long shorts. A pallet cleanser to the micro shorts that have dominated fashion crowds and runways for so long, this season, the laid-back long shorts trend is on the up and honestly, I don’t think that shorts have every looked chicer.

Still new on the scene, I’ve rounded up seven of the chicest shoe pairings that always look good with long shorts, in order to give you a head start on styling the trend. Read on to discover the seven best shoes to wear with long shorts below.
