After I have pulled out last years items from storage, the first thing I look to update is footwear. There is nothing like a new shoe shape to refresh last years printed dresses or to bring interest to my weekend uniform of jeans and knitwear. It is all about boots for me and ones with a wearable heel are always at the top of my wish list. Here are my top 5 shoe shapes to instantly modernise your wardrobe.

the sock boot…fitted on the ankle, they feel sophisticated and work well for evening. Look to & Other Stories for a High Street version.

the knee high…perfect for dresses and skirts, I’m thinking about this snake skin option.

the kitten heel… a great workwear style. I love this red that I will wear with denim.

the cowboy boot…The fashion girls favourite. I love these refined pair from Massimo Dutti

the trainer… because if I am not in boots I am in trainers! They make my silk skirts look easy and casual.
