2017/2018’s summer fashion in South Africa has been all about including shoes that are either brightly coloured, pastel coloured; sporty or classic in one’s wardrobe.
The new year brought four different shoes for both men and women, that can either work for an evening cocktail function, a chilled day at the market, or having sunset drinks against the backdrop of Table Mountain.
Sneaker magic
Summer is always about bright, bold colours that grabs attention or co-ordinates well with your outfit, and sneakers never fail in complimenting outfits.
The sneaker collaboration, Converse x Golf Le Fleur* was created by Converse and hip-hop artist Tyler, the Creator, and the collection boasts a number of bold, pastel coloured sneakers that can be rocked by men and women.

Minimalism
Block heels are not only stylish, but they are also comfortable, whether you work a 9 to 5 job, go out on a date or hit the club. Block heels are a classic style that works great for an outfit with a minimalist taste, and can come in various styles such as the low mule, knee-high boots, or strappy heel that cater to everyone.
