This summer, you’re fully booked with backyard BBQs, beach weddings, al fresco dinner dates, and beyond — and there’s no question you’ll be in need of a chic pair (or two) of shoes for every occasion in your datebook. Polish off your go-to maxi dresses and denim cut-offs with slick metallic thong sandals and colorblocked ballet flats by day. Or step out for a night on the town in laser-cut espadrille wedges, printed slingbacks, and strappy stiletto heels in a slew of leg-lengthening neutrals.
A romantic, vintage-inspired aesthetic defines Seychelles’ collection of ultra-feminine footwear. The label’s sturdy-heeled boots and booties, colorful flats, T-strap wedges, chunky-funky platform heels, and classic Mary Janes manage to be fashion-forward while still referencing the past. Founded in 1984 by designer Michael Kaufman, Seychelles started out as a collection of cowboy boots and Italian jeweled sandals but changed direction in the early 2000s under new ownership. Today the brand’s retro-modern collection counts Jessica Alba and other celebrities as fans, and it’s no wonder: In addition to being super-chic, Seychelles shoes are also supremely comfortable thanks to interior cushioning and other features. Running in heels has never been easier.
